Details

The library includes two orchestral sections: eight woodwind players and fifty-two string players, recorded with four mic positions—close, Decca tree, wide, and balcony. This variety provides flexibility in achieving the desired sound, whether you prefer a more intimate or expansive mix. The interface features a score display and custom chord recognition capabilities, enhancing usability.

Runs can be played by simply pressing a chord with the left hand while selecting start and end notes with the right. The intuitive 'emphasis' slider allows for real-time mixing between the woodwind and string sections, enabling a seamless blend of timbres. Additionally, the instrument supports both absolute and relative playback modes, allowing for greater creative freedom when crafting runs that fit within changing harmonic contexts.

With its low footprint and high realism, Modal Runs stands out as a versatile tool for composers looking to incorporate intricate orchestral runs into their scores. The thoughtful design and recording quality ensure that this library integrates well with other orchestral libraries, making it a valuable addition to any composer’s toolkit.
