Use strings at their most intimate with this collection of expressive multisampled instruments. These close-up string ensemble recordings work just as well as a source of natural strings or as a starting point for creative sound design. Work with a variety of note lengths and bowing techniques including bounced spiccato, soft and thin sul tasto, harmonic-heavy sul ponticello and tension-building tremolo. Use these playing styles individually, or blend them using the all-in-one instruments.  

The Pack also includes custom Max for Live devices for added realism, most notably with delicately tuned crossfade curves for the all-in-one instruments. Plus, a selection of MPE presets offers expressive articulation, letting you change each note’s technique independently using an MPE controller.

A selection of MIDI clips in different melodic styles and chord progressions can provide inspiration, start you on a creative path, or serve as the basis for experimentation.
