What's the big deal?
UNIQUE Features
Our unique 2-Layer approach gives you control to "bring in the emotion" by crossfading between articulations, as well as giving you a range of attacks and releases including slow bends, quick slides, natural crescendos, decrescendos, and more. Seriously, it's unlike any strings library you've played before.

Lush YET Defined
The Ensemble
Articulations were recorded as an ensemble (5 violins, 3 violas, 3 celli), with Basses (3) recorded separately to offer greater control.
Some articulations such as the "repetitions" were recorded as soloists in their seating position within the ensemble, achieving a gorgeously detailed natural stereo image.
