It’s just that that’s what i find I have to do, and it makes it hard to incorporate the instruments into chamber music, because the instruments act like they expect other instruments to follow them rather than listening and adjusting to other players. One thing I very much appreciate about the SF Solo Strings is how well they take to shaping of lines. I find this especially with the first desk violin, which has been my favored violin for several years now. But it’s broadly true of the SF set, and one reason I like to work with the SF Solo Strings when writing chamber music (and one reason I have been tempted by the Sacconi). And I have quite enjoyed writing quartet music with the first desk violin as first violin, the violin from AltSS and progressive violin from Solo Strings sharing duties as second violin, and the viola and cello from the Solo Strings filling out the quartet. This combination has worked well for me in writing. It has a limited set of things it does well, but within those constraints I find it works well. I also use XCSS along with the SF First Desk violin for a second quartet when I need extended techniques. And I have a few other quartets I can configure (Amber, the solo setting from 8Dio’s Intimate Strings) plus things like the BDT, the Arnold Evolutions, and the Westwood instruments for quartet textures. I’ve also acquired the Berlin FCs, but haven’t yet tried them as a quartet. None of those combinations comes close to what a real quartet could do, of course, but that‘s broadly true of virtual instruments. Orchestral string libraries likewise only give a very limited account of what orchestral strings can do, and the same is true for brass, especially woodwinds, and even piano and percussion, which are the instruments probably furthest developed as VIs. In the scheme of virtual instruments, quartets are hard, but I think virtual quartets are less limited at this point than choirs or solo voices.Hyperion Strings Elements is a universal string ensemble library built for everyone.Ĭhoir and solo voices are even more limited. It was recorded with uncompromising engineering precision and then hand-edited and carefully balanced to achieve a new benchmark in quality and playability. It's made for Native Instruments’ free Kontakt Player and the NKS Standard. This virtual instrument is a robust musical production workhorse that will serve you well, whether you’re a working composer, student, producer, songwriter, teacher, arranger, band, sound designer, or are just curious about creating your own music. It’s ready to perform from the moment you load it up. The Hyperion String ensemble has a forward and robust sound unlike any other. It has a strong tone and wide dynamic range that can be shaped to fit any genre or style. It can also be used to fatten and layer with other strings to create massive arrangements. We’ve also equipped the interface with plenty of spatialization, environment simulation and positioning controls and options to let you dial in the sound and character you need. The library includes a full-ensemble preset and 4 Master and True-Legato section presets for 8 Violins, 6 Violas, 5 Cellos and 4 Double Basses. The Master presets include a broad selection of fundamental articulations, each with their own range of customizable real-time performance options, key-switch and mapping options, handy auto-functions, apregiators, FX and performance tools.
