Spitfire Audio Symphonic Strings v1.0.2 KONTAKT
If there was a single product that could sum up the foundation of Spitfire’s approach to sampling, it would be this. Recorded at a studio that has played host to scores from the highest grossing blockbusters — The Hall at AIR Studios — we’ve used the same first-call session players playing the same instruments, sampled with our usual more is more approach. If you want that blockbuster sound, you have to go bold. If you want cinematic, you have to go big. Featuring 60 players performing 175 articulations, including legatos, this is the ultimate encyclopaedic collection of symphonic strings sampling.
Symphonic Strings has been created with 60 of the world’s finest strings players — 16 1st Violins, 14 2nd Violins, 12 Violas, 10 Cellos & 8 Basses — performing over 175 articulations, including 59 shorts, 94 longs, and 5 legato patches programmed by Andrew Blaney, and presented with three essential and versatile microphone positions. In addition to each individual section, we also offer a comprehensive selection of articulations and techniques presented in our specially curated ‘Ensemble’ tool, offering you instant playability and designed for quick writing. This definitive compendium contains everything from classic and elegant vibrato and expression controlled ‘dolce’ samples, to our own cutting edge techniques designed by our award-winning team of composers and producers, including our hugely popular ‘flautando’ and ‘super sul tasto’ articulations.
