弦乐形成是长弦乐织体和手势效果的集合，可以扩展传统弦乐库的功能，并为您的作品注入细微差别和人性化的感觉。
关于音色库
由三把小提琴、中提琴和大提琴组成的小型室内乐合奏，这种动态分组非常适合在较小的规模上得分，或者与更大的合奏乐器组合在一起，为更传统的静态弦乐库添加运动。
在中殿1号录音室的大厅里录制，弦乐形成提供了三个麦克风视角，可以帮助与其他乐器融合。近距离麦克风提供了一个很棒的干音，而中线导体的视角和远距离麦克风提供了更大的大厅感。
音色库扩展了创新的编程，我们引入了智能颤音在Petrichor与我们的和弦织体补丁。当在这些发音中启用智能模式时，演奏和弦将自动触发特定的间隔关系，在您的作曲中编织出织体的挂毯。
我们还提供了通过处理原始样品创建的16个大气层。这些可以与主要的发音组合一起使用，或者在我们的图层混合引擎中扩展音色库的声音能力。
弦织体
这一组七个发音使用了一个复杂的性能引擎，分析当前按下的音符，并智能地播放在不同持有的音符之间移动的样本，在弦乐织体音色库中添加了一种独特的方式来执行和弦。
当启用智能模式时，您可以自由地播放，而不必担心选择特定的音阶或模式。然而，有一些选项可以隔离单个音程，这有时可以主奏音色在使用音色库即兴创作时鼓舞人心的和弦决定。
在每个发音的设置面板中，还可以选择增加一次播放多少个可能间隔的密度。这不仅提供了更好的控制音色的音色库，但它也给了另一个维度的乐器动态的飞行。
的合奏
小提琴、中提琴和大提琴各三名演奏者组成了这个音色库的合奏团。这个动态集成可以很容易地扩展到任何工作。演奏双手和弦产生更交响乐的织体，而单个音符和和弦织体在光密度下唤起更亲密的合奏声音。
与其他弦乐库不同，每个乐器部分分别录制，弦乐阵型的演奏者在房间里一起录制，创造出更有凝聚力的合奏声音。
统一织体
弦乐构成的骨干是16个统一发音，支持和弦织体。这些变化范围从不断演变的长调到更不寻常的音调弯曲(Drifts)，重复的拨奏(水滴)和膨胀。正如演练中所演示的，这些可以单独用作组合的一部分，也可以创造性地组合以扩展音色库的声音功能。
层混合
继续从禅:冥想和踪迹，层混合在弦乐编队允许混合特定的原始发音和处理大气层从层菜单。总共有27个声音和17500+可能的混合，有广泛的声音可能性，然后可以进一步扩展全局效果，如信封，过滤，低保真效果，延迟和混响。

String Formations is a collection of long string textures and gestural effects that can extend the capabilities of traditional string libraries and inject a sense of nuance and humanity into your compositions.
ABOUT THE LIBRARY
Comprising a small chamber ensemble made up of three violins, violas, and celli, this dynamic grouping is ideal for scoring at a smaller scale, or doubling and combining with a larger ensemble instrument to add movement to more traditionally static string libraries.
Recorded in the large hall of The Nave, Studio 1, String Formations offers three mic perspectives that can help blend with other instruments. The close mic offers a great dry sound, whilst the middle conductor perspective and the far mics give a greater sense of the hall.
The library extends the innovative programming we introduced with Smart Trills in Petrichor with our Chordal Textures patch. When smart mode is enabled within these articulations, playing chords will automatically trigger specific interval relationships, weaving a tapestry of texture within your composition.
We have also provided 16 Atmospheric Layers created by processing the original raw samples. These can be used in conjunction with the main set of articulations, or in our Layer Blends engine to stretch the sonic capabilities of the library.
This set of seven articulations uses a sophisticated performance engine that analyses the notes that are currently held down and intelligently plays back samples which move between the different held notes, adding a unique way to perform chords within a string textures library.
When Smart Mode is enabled, you can play freely without having to worry about selecting specific scales or modes. However, there are options to isolate individual intervals, which can sometimes lead to inspiring chord decisions when improvising with the library.
Within the settings panel of each articulation, there is also the option to increase the density of how many possible intervals are playing at once. Not only does this offer greater control over the timbre of the library, but it also gives another dimension to instrument dynamics on the fly.
THE ENSEMBLE
Three players in each section of Violins, Violas, and Celli make up the ensemble for this library. This dynamic ensemble can be easily scaled for any work. Playing two-handed chords generates a more symphonic texture, whilst individual notes and the Chordal Textures when on light density evoke a more intimate ensemble sound.
Unlike other string libraries with each instrument section recorded separately, the players in String Formations were recorded in the room together, creating a more cohesive ensemble sound.
UNISON TEXTURES
The backbone of String Formations is the 16 Unison articulations that support the Chordal Textures. These range from evolving longs to more unusual pitch bends (Drifts), repeated pizzicato (Droplets), and swells. As demonstrated in the walkthrough, these can be used individually as part of compositions, or combined creatively to extend the sonic capabilities of the library.
LAYER BLENDS
Continuing from Zen: Meditations and Trails, the Layer Blends in String Formations allows the blending of specific raw articulations and processed Atmosphere Layers from the Layer menu. With a total of 27 sounds and 17500+ possible blends, there is a wide range of sonic possibilities that can then be extended further with global effects such as envelopes, filtering, Lo-Fi effects, Delay, and Reverb.
