Product Overview

Jasmine Strings features a 12-player violin ensemble, recorded in a hall with exceptional acoustics, capturing the emotive interplay of live musicians. The library emphasizes expressive articulations, from delicate textures to rich, evolving sounds, making it suitable for cinematic scoring and nuanced underscore.

Details

The library includes a variety of patches, with options for both individual and multi-mic configurations. Articulations range from lyrical legato to pointillistic textures, allowing for intricate melodic phrasing. Five mic positions—close, Decca tree, stereo MS/flank, hall, and ambient—provide flexibility in shaping the sound's presence and spatial depth. The close mic captures intimate details, while the Decca tree offers a balanced stage image.

Performance controls include dynamic layering and an articulation switcher, enabling composers to blend different takes for a more fluid sound. The library also features experimental patches, such as “Tainted,” which allow for real-time sound manipulation through an X/Y pad. This versatility makes Jasmine Strings ideal for both traditional orchestral contexts and innovative sound design, enhancing the overall scoring palette.
