Details

The instrument features a modern string orchestra recorded at AIR Lyndhurst Hall, utilising a configuration that enhances the synthesis-inspired sound. It includes 129 articulations, with 94 derived from original string performances and 35 layered 'Synergy' patches designed for the eDNA engine. The eDNA interface allows for the pairing and manipulation of two sound sources, enabling extensive customisation through effects and granular processing.

Polaris is built on a foundation of complex, multi-layered string recordings that have been resampled using vintage synthesizers and tape machines, creating a rich sonic landscape. Mic positions range from super close to room captures, providing flexibility in mixing. The library also includes 421 presets, expertly crafted by BT and the Spitfire team, catering to both detailed sound design and quick workflow needs.
