Product Overview
String Shades is a chamber string sample library featuring a 14-piece ensemble that embraces beautifully imperfect articulations and improvisations. The library captures a range of orchestral colors, making it suitable for emotive scoring and nuanced compositions.
Details
This library includes five distinct articulations, allowing for expressive playing styles that range from undulating phrases to wild trills and fragments. Recorded at Rottenbiller Studios in Budapest, the ensemble benefits from the venue's high ceilings and rich acoustics, enhancing the overall timbre. The recordings were made using a Neve 88R console and a selection of high-quality microphones, providing five perspectives: close, mid, far, ambient, and a mixed option.
With over 50 original NKIs and snapshots, String Shades offers a wealth of creative possibilities. The instrument's design prioritizes playability, allowing for smooth transitions between articulations and dynamic control, making it a versatile choice for composers looking to add depth and character to their scores.
