Product Overview

LIMINAL: Whispering Strings features a collection of delicately recorded violin, viola, and cello samples, focusing on intimate textures and evolving articulations. The library captures the nuances of extended playing techniques, including the use of a rosin-less bow, resulting in whisper-like sounds that add a unique character to compositions.

Details

The instrument includes a variety of articulations designed for both solo and ensemble performances, such as sustained vibrato, sul tasto tremolo, and short bursts with released bow. These samples are recorded closely using large-diaphragm condenser microphones, allowing for hyper-intimate details that enhance the organic feel of the sound. The library is not aimed at fast passages but rather serves as a source for naturalistic pads, providing humanistic imperfections that synthetic sources often lack.

Users can layer, mix, and reverse articulations through an intuitive interface, featuring color-coded controls for easy navigation. The crossfade functionality allows for artful blending of sound layers, while LFO controls enable tempo-synced modulation of volume, opening up creative possibilities for evolving textures. With 11 core articulations and dozens of snapshot presets, this library is well-suited for adding unpredictability and depth to your scoring palette.
