软弦独奏者
受到斯堪的纳维亚标志性的弦声的启发，已成为现代戏剧配乐的主要内容，软弦独奏者以小提琴，中提琴和大提琴三重奏为特色，以柔和的动态演奏，唤起更情感和亲密的音调。
作为作曲家，我们经常发现自己在为情感或微妙的场景配乐时，会用弦乐独奏。然而，我们注意到一个差距：许多弦乐库在那里录制了一个更突出和精湛的音调，它在管弦乐队之上翱翔，但不适合更柔和和更亲密的作品。
为了解决这个问题，我们创建了软弦独奏者，一个多功能连奏库的灵感来自流行的“斯坎迪弦”的声音，已成为新古典音乐和当代戏剧评分的标志。
软弦独奏家的特点独奏小提琴，中提琴和大提琴，利用我们的智能连奏引擎，首次引入铜管乐队独奏家，为超现实的回放和一个特殊的控制水平。每种乐器都提供两种令人惊叹的连奏类型（标准和portamento），以及该类型典型的长，短和膨胀的发音。
在中景工作室大厅的传统弦乐四重奏布局中录制，图书馆提供了对混音的完全控制，提供近、中、远麦克风位置，允许用户实现从亲密到宽敞的环境声音。凭借我们创新的仪器放置功能，每个仪器都可以放置在大厅布局的任何地方，使仪器能够放置在不同的合奏配置中，以及中心立体声选项，确保与您收藏的其他图书馆轻松集成。
复杂的控制
与铜管乐队独奏，这个图书馆也受益于我们创新的智能连奏引擎和仪器放置选项，使作曲少关于技术调整和更多关于创造力的任务。
在智能模式下，仪器自动分析传入MIDI音符，并选择理想的过渡长度，确保顺利播放，无需进一步编辑，同时提供一个真实的表达声音。
这个功能的真实性是由延迟驱动的：通过延迟声音输出，引擎可以“向前看”并实时调整性能。延迟越高，仪器的反应就越自然。在连奏设置中显示的延迟数字是准确的，允许您补偿DAW中的负轨道延迟功能，确保完美的定时，只要您的MIDI被量化。这可以让你更专注于作曲，而乐器照顾更精细的细节。
斯堪的纳维亚风格
我们以独特的“斯坎迪弦”风格录制了这些独奏弦乐，以其通风，细腻的动态而闻名，揭示了弦乐器更柔软，更脆弱的一面。这种风格已成为许多当代新古典主义作品的标志性声音。
使这首歌与众不同的是它深刻的情感深度。通过捕捉表演者细微的表情，每个样本都与人类的触摸产生共鸣，使这个图书馆成为探索和玩耍的乐趣。
空间位置
与我们的许多其他库一样，我们已经从会议中使用的麦克风阵列中创建了生产就绪的混音。近距离信号允许一个超级亲密和正面的声音，而远话筒引入一个更分散的声音。
仪器放置提供三种灵活的选择。第一个是“原位”，将每个乐器置于传统弦乐四重奏的自然位置。为了更有创意的控制，我们创新的自定义位置功能可以让您在舞台上的任何地方放置任何乐器-更远的后面，更靠近前面，甚至相反的原始位置。这允许你在不同的位置双乐器扩展合奏或放置在舞台的中心独奏作品。
我们还包括了一个中心立体声选项，为那些谁想要最小化自然平移从“原位”设置。这使得它很容易使用您的DAW的混响和平移工具与其他库无缝地混合乐器，给你最大限度地控制最终的声音。
仪器
我们很高兴再次与我们的第一批室内乐首席演奏家合作：安德拉·沃尔尼库（小提琴）、丽贝卡·斯塔布斯（中提琴）和马修·菲利普斯（大提琴）。凭借他们卓越的才华和不断增长的采样经验，我们培养了一种强大的合作关系，为这个图书馆的声音创作带来了独特的协同作用。

Soft String Soloists
Inspired by the signature Scandinavian string sound that has become a staple in modern drama soundtracks, Soft String Soloists features a trio of violin, viola, and cello, performing at a softer dynamic to evoke a more emotive and intimate tone.
As composers, we often find ourselves reaching for solo strings when scoring emotive or subtle scenes. However, we noticed a gap: many of the string libraries out there are recorded with a more prominent and virtuosic tone, which soars above the orchestra but doesn’t lend itself to softer and more intimate compositions.
To address this, we created Soft String Soloists, a versatile legato library inspired by the popular “Scandi String” sound that has become a hallmark of neo-classical music and contemporary drama scoring.
Soft String Soloists features solo violin, viola, and cello, utilising our Smart Legato engine, first introduced with Brass Band Soloists, for ultra-realistic playback and an exceptional level of control. Each instrument offers two stunning legato types (standard and portamento), along with an array of long, short, and swelled articulations typical of the genre.
Recorded in a traditional string quartet layout in the hall at Nave Studios, the library provides full control over mix, offering close, mid and far microphone positions, allowing users to achieve anything from an intimate to a spacious, ambient sound. With our innovative Instrument Placement feature, each instrument can be positioned anywhere within the hall layout, enabling the instruments to be placed in different ensemble configurations, as well as a centre stereo option, ensuring easy integration with other libraries in your collection.
Sophisticated Controls
As with Brass Band Soloists, this library also benefits from our innovative Smart Legato engine and Instrument Placement options, making the task of composing less about technical adjustments and more about creativity.
In Smart Mode, the instrument automatically analyses incoming MIDI notes and selects the ideal transition length, ensuring smooth playback without further editing, all while delivering an authentically expressive sound.
The realism of this feature is driven by latency: by delaying the audible output, the engine can ‘look ahead’ and adjust the performance in real time. The higher the latency, the more naturally the instrument responds. The latency figure shown in the legato settings is accurate, allowing you to compensate with the negative track delay function in your DAW, ensuring perfect timing as long as your MIDI is quantised. This allows you to focus more on composing, while the instrument takes care of the finer details.
The Scandi Style
We recorded these Solo Strings in the distinctive “Scandi String” style, known for its airy, delicate dynamics that reveal the softer, more fragile side of stringed instruments. This style has become the signature sound of many contemporary neoclassical works.
What sets this sound apart is its profound emotional depth. By capturing the performers’ nuanced expressions, each sample resonates with a human touch that makes this library a joy to explore and play with.
Spatial Placement
As with many of our other libraries, we have created production-ready mixes from the array of microphones used in the session. The close signal allows for a super intimate and up-front sound, whilst the far mics introduce a more dispersed sound.
Instrument Placement offers three flexible options. The first, “In-Situ,” places each instrument in the natural positions of a traditional string quartet. For more creative control, our innovative Custom Position feature lets you place any instrument anywhere on the stage – further back, closer to the front, or even opposite its original position. This allows you to double instruments across different positions to expand the ensemble or place them in the centre of the stage for solo compositions.
We’ve also included a Centre Stereo option for those who want to minimise natural panning from the “In-Situ” setup. This makes it easy to use your DAW’s reverb and panning tools to blend the instrument seamlessly with other libraries, giving you maximum control over the final sound.
Instruments
We were delighted to have once again collaborated with our first chair players from the chamber ensemble behind String Formations: Andra Vornicu (Violin), Rebecca Stubbs (Viola), and Matthew Phillips (Cello). With their exceptional talent and growing experience in sampling with us, we have fostered a strong, collaborative relationship, bringing a unique synergy to the creation of sounds in this library.
