Details

The library offers a comprehensive set of articulations, including various types of sustains, staccatos, spiccato, and legato options, allowing for nuanced performances. Each articulation is recorded in a controlled environment, ensuring a defined sound that can be adapted to different acoustic settings. The flexibility of the library is enhanced by the ability to place the ensembles in various virtual spaces, from close-mic’d immediacy to lush, reverberant halls.

Dynamic control is a key feature, with options for sforzato, crescendos, and diminuendos, as well as a variety of tremolo techniques. The instrument also includes specialized articulations like pizzicato, harmonics, and trills, providing a rich palette for composers. The meticulous sampling captures the lively energy and precision of the ensembles, making it a valuable tool for both orchestral and contemporary compositions.
