Product Detail
Chris Hein Ensemble Strings is an incredibly detailed, flexible, and musical string ensemble library. It stands out as the individual instruments were recorded separately and edited, ensuring perfect tuning, excellent timing, and a seamless fit into the ensemble's sonic character. There are no off - key notes to spoil the overall sound. Recorded with great care, precisely edited, and combined into ten Kontakt Player instruments with a custom - made UI and comprehensive scripting, it offers top - notch sound quality, numerous articulations, and highly realistic results. The library is compiled from over 120,000 samples of violins, cellos, and double basses. Through a special process, articulations like pizzicato and col legno come in 'loose' and 'tight' versions. It offers two ensemble sizes: 'Full' for a big and wide sound, and 'Small' for a more delicate character, each with up to eight dynamic layers. With four 'dynamic modes', functions like 'note - head - designer', 'key - vibrato', and 'hot - keys', along with articulation - presets, it gives musicians the feeling of playing live. It has 32 different articulations and play - styles, easily accessible via a straightforward key - switching system, and the articulation tempo can be adapted to the host - tempo of your DAW. The Ensemble Maker allows layering voices for a larger sound, and the DSP section with ten effects and two independent convolution - reverbs with 63 high - quality impulse responses perfects the sound. Ideal for film - scoring, pop - music production, sound - design, and more, this library truly shines. It also features many advanced functions and is backed by over 30 years of sampling experience from Chris Hein. Requires Kontakt Player 5.7 or newer, with a download size of 36.21 GB.
