Shadow Strings KONTAKT

OSHiE | 30 May 2024 | 2.21 GB

Welcome to Shadow Strings, a darker side of the cello that can add suspense, mystery, and a sense of uniqueness to any of your compositions. Created by cello player and professional virtual instrument maker Ben Osterhouse (Osterhouse Sounds), this ground-breaking Kontakt sample library pushes the boundaries of traditional cello sounds to offer a rich tapestry of unconventional textures and effects. When recording sample libraries, you want to capture the best sounds from an instrument. You try to have clean starts and stops, an expressive tone, and balanced dynamics across every sample. With all this in mind, it can be difficult to keep a spontaneous, fresh feel to the samples. It can turn into a chore. The goal during planning and development this library was to avoid as much chore-like recording. Everything is played with abandon, then heavily curated and edited later to highlight the best moments.

Jolene is the second release in our Boutique Drums Series. While Ruby celebrate the heavy, Jolene is all about vibe — great for indie, alternative, country and pop. As per usual, we’ve included a collection of “baked-in” mix presets that cater to a variety of musical contexts. From the pillowy, intimate punchiness of ‘Sunshine’ to the portly, attitudinal ‘Lola’ preset, we’ve got you covered. We’ve included five different hi-hat states of multisamples and live eighth-note grooves that automatically lock to your DAW’s tempo: tight, normal, slight-open, mid-open and all-open; grooves recorded at 90/120/140 BPM. Crossfadeable hi-hat grooves with release triggers? Yup. With the modwheel down, it’ll play the loop at it’s tightest hi-hat state. As you push the modwheel up, the hi-hat opens up. It’s awesome.
