Pacific Ensemble Strings

my [Favorite Demo Soundtracks] playlist

This one is PACIFIC for strings, AWP for the solo flute, a bit of ABP-Soloists and a custom solo bone patch for brass, the solo strings here and there are from a Voyage solo string addendum (haven't decided if I will release these particular solo strings), and the percussion is from a pre-alpha of Voyage Percussion (marimba, glock, gran casa, shakers, castanets, claves, etc). The harp is one of the harps from Voyage Strings.

These are still the unfinessed pre-alpha Pacific Strings here.

Unlike many of my other demos, this one has some verb and a bit of processing on the top to show it a bit more finalized.

PACIFIC in context of other instruments. Here is a short piece that I did as a speedwrite challenge - verb and proc is included here. Orchestral elements are pre-alpha patches from Pacific Strings, ABP-Soloists, and very pre-alpha patches from Voyage Percussion. Pacific legatos are pre take-selection and pre balancing.

PACIFIC STRINGS in context of other instruments. Proc is included here, but no verb. Pacific Strings, Oceania II, ABP-Soloists, AWP, very pre-alpha patches from Voyage Percussion (including the tonal perc), and ensemble anvils from the upcoming PACIFIC PERCUSSION.

Pacific - Strings - Horse And Chariot (no verb) - By Jasper Blunk

Anthology Strings is a deep-sampled music software instrument from 8Dio Productions.

Anthology Strings was crafted by Academy Award, TEC and G.A.N.G Award Winning Composer and Producer, Troels Folmann and Emmy-Nominated Composer and Orchestrator, Colin O’Malley. Anthology is the true reimagination of our original Adagio and Agitato String collections – hand-designed with our favorite 66.500 samples from both collections.

Anthology contains both Ensemble, Divisi and Solo String sections for both Violin(s), Viola(s), Cello(s) and Basse(s). All recorded exclusively with grand Neumann microphones – inside a rare church recording environment. The three sensible microphone positions (Close, Mixed, Far) offers you full mastery over the sound. We developed custom techniques for the close microphones – allowing them to record much closer and intimate than your common church scoring environments. No samples overwhelmed in reverb. Instead a touching and passionate collection of strings. All designed to capture your most beautiful thoughts.

The beating heart of Anthology Strings is its playability, emotion and ease-of-use. A compendium of all principal articulations needed for advanced orchestration – and equally built for fast and expressive string writing. The custom smart browser offers you access to everything. A single click gives access to all articulations. A few clicks and you’ve designed your personal matrix of articulations.

Anthology Strings is symmetry. All String Sections have identical articulations and that goes for all Ensemble, Divisi and Solo Strings in the library. But most importantly Anthology is for you. The composer. The producer. The orchestrator. The person that wants the most expressive virtual strings ever created within a fingers touch.

The person that want complete playability, effortless expression and true emotion in the sound. This library is for you and only you.
