Using Hyperion Strings Elements is a breeze. First, make sure your system meets the requirements: have the latest version of the free Kontakt Player, a Windows 7 or higher PC, or an OSX 10.12 or higher Mac, a dual - core CPU, 3 GB RAM or more, and a recommended SATA or SSD hard drive. Also, you'll need a broadband connection as it's a digital download. After downloading, register the serial number online through the Native Instruments Native Access system. Once it's all set up, you can add the product to the Kontakt “Libraries” browser. When using the library, start by exploring the presets. There's a full - ensemble preset and individual section presets for violins, violas, cellos, and basses. The master presets have different articulations, so you can try them out to find the sound you like. For example, you can switch between vibrato and non - vibrato sustains easily. The interface has controls for spatialization, environment simulation, and positioning. Play around with these to create the right atmosphere for your music. When it comes to short articulations, like staccatos and spiccatos, they're great for adding a human touch to your arrangements. Just select the appropriate one for the musical moment. The modular dynamic expressions allow you to create different dynamic shapes in real - time. Combine them with the offset and attack controls to get the exact sound you want. As for maintenance, since it's a digital product, there's no physical maintenance. But make sure to keep your Kontakt Player and related software up - to - date to ensure the best performance. And don't forget that your full purchase amount can be used towards upgrading to the full Hyperion Symphonic Strings when they're released.
