Product Overview

MACABRE Solo Strings features a trio of expressive solo strings—violin, viola, and cello—captured in their first chair positions. The library is designed to evoke a dark, lyrical tone, making it particularly effective for slow, emotional lines that require depth and nuance.

Details

The instrument offers a range of articulations, including two types of True Legato: long form legato and portamento, allowing for smooth transitions and expressive phrasing. Each string is recorded separately in the Sofia Session Studio, ensuring a focused and intimate sound. The library includes two mic positions—close and far—providing options for both detailed and ambient mixes.

With a single patch per instrument, the library simplifies performance by allowing different legato styles to be triggered by velocity, streamlining the workflow. This design emphasizes natural expressiveness, enabling composers to achieve realistic string lines without extensive programming. The MACABRE Solo Strings are well-suited for scoring contexts that demand emotional weight and character-driven melodies.
