We wanted to share some of the progress on our Orchestral Strings by means of this impression.
As it stands, the instruments are in a very good state, which allowed the demo composers to get to work and got us comments like these:
‘I love the sound we can get out of this instrument.’
‘Inspired today by your progress on the strings, I decided to use the two violin sections in a current project - even in beta form. The tone was so compelling that I replaced tracks from using other respectable libraries. ’
‘When I experimented by combined the strings with the phrase libraries today, I was blown away. The cohesion was immediate, and magical.’
The issues the NKS team at NI found in their checks were minor and have been fixed already.
However, having had the instruments put through the wringer seriously in the beta phase, and knowing the standards we want to and have to achieve in this competitive market, where there are so many excellent products already, we decided to take a breather and avoid a rushed release.
We need a couple more months to implement all of our beta team’s findings and suggestions, some of which came in at the end of the composing phase, and turn this into the head-turner it deserves to be.
Since this sample library is one of the most complex structures we have ever created we hope you will bear with us a little longer:)
Thanks for hanging in there with us! We’re passionate about getting this right and providing you with a tool that will elevate your music and inspire you to create.' Audio only: https://soundcloud.com/sonokinetic/orchestral-strings-pre-release-cinematic-demo

Voyage - String Spiccs (up to 9dyn) + Perc (no EQ, verb, or processing / VERY early PRE-alpha)

Voyage - String Spiccs (up to 9dyn) + Perc (no EQ, verb, or processing / VERY early PRE-alpha) #2

Note: created with a VERY early PRE-alpha version. Featured is 3 violins expressivo sords (7 dyn -- also I re-recorded these since they were a bit too expressivo and vintage sounding, but you will still get these expressivo vln sords too). As well as Harp 2 harmonic+normale reps and pizz reps using multiple sections.

No processing, EQ, or verb *other than* lightly EQing the harp close mic to get rid of some of the resonance.

Voyage - Pre-alpha harp harmonic+norm reps, pizz reps, and expressivo 3vln sords

Note: created with a VERY early PRE-alpha version. Featured is 3 violins expressivo sords (7 dyn -- also I re-recorded these since they were a bit too expressivo and vintage sounding, but you will still get these expressivo vln sords too). As well as Harp 2 harmonic+normale reps and string harmonics.

This track was thrown together in 10m, improvised with a multi consisting of the violin sord and two harp patches (3 patches total). Then a basic MW pass was done for the sord dynamics, and then the harmonics were added.

No processing, EQ, or verb *other than* lightly EQing the harp close mic to get rid of some of the resonance.
