The String Collection v1.01 KONTAKT

P2P | 10.12.2018 | 589 MB

I have always had a bit of a soft spot for evocative cinematic synth strings and especially pseudo realistic string ensembles. Probably as a result I’ve almost subconsciously amassed (and sometimes restored) a small collection of historically important string synths over the years and found to my delight that they blend and layer very nicely with one another. These include my 1938 Novachord, arguably the world’s first polyphonic string synthesizer, the 1972 Eminent 310 Unique which features an early incarnation of the Solina Strings and its direct relative, the ARP Omni. I have also been playing with a number of discrete methods to generate exponential sawtooths, passive tube buffered L/C formant resonators, analog chorus circuits and tube processing. The way most of these early polyphonic instruments worked was very different from the later voltage controlled synths and they very much have a tone and texture of their own. The triple parallel analog BBD based chorus stages with multiple free-running LFOs on the Eminent 310 and Solina alone are significantly more lush and complex than the single stage chorus sections found on later synths. A number of tube processed layers and blends were brought together to form the basic 16 instruments loaded into the layering engine to form the The String Collection…

Soave Sordino Strings KONTAKT

DiSCOVER | December/01Th/2018 | 195 MB

Soave Sordino Strings is the result of mixed sampling from sample based digital strings machines treated with equalizers, image expanders and various effect. The strings sections is the typical orchestral configuration. The first violins on the left and so the sound of them is on the left in the stereo image and so on, with the double basses on the extreme right. There are five sections (1st Violins, 2nd Violins, Violas, Cellos, Double Basses) and each have their own volume knobs. As you can see the Soave’s GUI is really simple, just a Main Volume (Gain) on the left, an Attack knob on the right and a Transient button below the Violas section to bypass the slow attack and gives a fake legato when play a melody. Obviously, Soave comes with only one articulation known as “Con Sordino”, so it’s useful for very slow tempo beats, from Largo to Adagio. The other control named “Altered” implements a randomized pitch to the notes played in a kind of slow “chaotic” way. That’s quite useful for stochastic composition styles.
