8Dio Century Orchestral Strings

We have always believed in true musical expression in our sampling.  Century takes this a lot further, allowing much greater control of timing and duration of naturally expressive material.  Here’s a simple example using one of our dynamic bowings or “arcs” as we’ve come to call them.

Playing around with Violas Sordino Arcs.  This is not using legato, but shows they are very inspiring for fast sketching.  One of the many unique points about Century Orchestral Strings is our focus on deep-sampling playable and highly realistic sordino strings - infused with natural emotion.

Century 2.0 includes 2 new mixes with the instruments placed in natural orchestral seating position.  Great, polished sound, out of the box.  MIX A is very focused and detailed.  LOTS of bow.  MIX B is wide and ambient, puffy and warm. We realize that many composers out there are defining their own sound by mixing and matching libraries.  With this in mind, we will also be providing EQ presets and videos to help you mix Century with other great strings libraries.
