Craft dramatic passages with naturally emotively bowed sustains, fast & slow interval trills, tremolo, ponticello, harmonic, flautando and other effect sustains. From the delicate to the bombastic, our dynamic expressions bring a score to life. You’ll find dozens of variations to fit every mood, with smart dynamic release-triggering, tempo-sync and time-stretching. Combine them with our A-B system, Offset, Attack, and Release controls to create truly expressive moments. Do it live with Performance mode and effortlessly switch between sustains and shorts as you play. Take it easy with adaptive legato response, natural vibrato-clean blending and auto-bowing. The Shorts include long & dotted 8th-note staccatos, 16th & 32nd-note short staccatos, 32nd & 64th-note spiccatos and loose & tight pizzicato plucks, with up to 8 round-robins, velocity/swell control, and auto speed-switching for realism and precision. You'll also find fx shorts like loose & tight Bartok pitz snaps and Col Legno bow taps, tremolo and trill stacs, and many other specialized variations. Explore a broad selection of crescendos, decrescendos, vibrato-clean transition, hairpins, sforzandos, and swells to create nuanced and realistic movements. Each section includes plenty of long and short chromatic and aleatoric effects, including runs, bridge bowing and plucks, runs, slides, clusters, tension beds, cacophonies, stabs, stingers, risers, falls, percussion and more. The 1st Violins also feature a wide selection of long and short Sordino articulations, expressions and effects, including true legato & portamento.

Shape your tone, body, dynamic response and sound-stage positioning and acoustic environment on the Effects and Space panels. Create the perfect articulation maps with handy macros and convenient preset menus at the top of each panel, making it easy to save time and share templates and settings across the library Each carefully balanced mic position captures a distinct aesthetic style. The Stage mix places the mics on each player for intense presence, detail and transparency to bring each instrument into focus, making it the perfect choice for adding definition and personality to any arrangement. The Close position delivers a modern, bold cinematic tone that also forms the basis for our Micro and Elements editions, but we’ve dialed back the processing in this Ensemble edition to achieve a more natural quality, letting it breathe and move freely. The Mid Hall blend is a wide omni array with velvety character, relaxed dynamics, and soft highs that falls easily into place in classic movie soundtracks. The Far Hall has a lush, vintage quality with a deep, dark concert hall sound that harkens back to golden age mid-century classical recordings. Kontakt Format This library is designed for the full retail version of Native Instruments Kontakt 6.2.2 or later. Kontakt is an industry-standard advanced virtual instrument software platform.

This library is packed with features to provide you a wide range of sound shaping parameter controls, each one totally automation-ready in your host environment or Kontakt's stand-alone mode.

However, the sample directories are unlocked so you can use them in other wav-compatible software, sampler and synth formats. The special Libraries tab doesn't support this open-format Kontakt library, but you can use the standard File browser tab and import this library into the Kontakt Quickload window for easy loading and navigation.
