Wind players and pianists create the sound of a note with very different techniques and this can make virtual instruments designed for keyboards feel quite unnatural for wind synth players.

I am looking for a string section instrument to play through my EWI. I was wondering if anyone can tell me which of the major string libraries might work best. It would ideally enable some or all of the following;

Note amplitude controllable by breath or expression CCs moment-by-moment rather than by initial velocity and envelope

Change in timbre with amplitude, moment-by-moment to deliver 'live layering' during each note.

Real-time control over both of depth and shape of vibrato.

True Legato.

Chords mapping between divisis.

Responsive Articulation control. (It is possible to use key switches on a wind synth, but you can only do so during a rest.)

Does anyone have a view as to which of the major libraries might work best?

Thanks,
