Soaring strings with “instant ageing”

String sounds from the dusty past • Unique single-dial “Vintage” control for simple but powerful timewarping • Combined acoustic string section and electric string synth for a wide sound palette • Vintage “Icon” reverb to add gloss and shimmer • Clean, soaring strings or crusty, erratic warbles… you choose!, Strings have a unique ability to bring warmth and richness to music: there’s something about dozens of individual players melding into one sweeping soundscape that just seems to lift the hearts of the listeners. Of course, not every rock star is in the position to hire the London Philharmonic to score their album; hence the rise of the string synth – which replaces dozens of individual players with dozens of detuned oscillators to approximate the same richness of result. String synths are one of our favourite musical machines – and Vintage Strings is a homage to them.

Sospiro Strings v1.5 KONTAKT

P2P | 19 April 2024 | 3.2 GB

Sospiro Strings is a Kontakt library for creating slow, emotive strings. It features 4 different length swells and 3 sustained articulations, recorded on bass, cello, viola, and violin. Each version, Vibrato and non-vibrato has a single velocity layer. Using the Length in Beats slider, you can choose the appropriate length, and the corresponding swell will be chosen and time-stretched if needed. The Length Multiplier is useful if you have a project with a fast bpm and you want it to sound slow, or vice versa. The Smart Release feature makes it so that however far into the crescendo-ing part of the sample you have held the note, it will jump that far from the end of the swell. This means that the longer you hold a note, the longer its release will be. All of the swells can be either vibrato or non-vibrato. The vibrato adds warmth and individuality to the sound, but may be a bit over dramatic in some cases. The non-vibrato has a lot of clarity, and especially brings attention to change in tone as each instrument gets louder and softer. The vibrato samples sound better or worse depending on how much they are being timed-stretched, which is why it is especially nice to have non-vibrato as an option. The Sync feature is one of the most essential features: with Sync enabled, any notes you add or change in a chord will sync with the first note that was played.
