Fire Strings for Kontakt with introductory offer

[Kaneda]

Overview

"Fire Strings" is a collaboration between Paris Sampling and Alliance Divergent Audio Group. “Fire Strings” is the ultimate cinematic hybrid tension instrument featuring a collection of tonal, aleatoric and rhythmic content performed by electric violin and guitar captured via high end analogue gear (Neve, API, Universal Audio, Manley, etc) put through sound design processes and housed in a bespoke hybrid interface.

Content

The library content is broken down into three main categories:

Tonal - This section of the library contains electric violin sustains and textures both of a traditional and extended nature. We dug very deep to push well beyond common technique. Here you’ll find everything from standard sustains and tremolos to the extremely jarring spectral scrubs, harmonics, trills, wild microtonal bends and vibrato.

Risers - Risers offers a collection of long, tension building glissandos played with a variety of bowing and fingering techniques, perfect for developing climaxes.

Rhythmic - The rhythmic content consists of dozens of tonal, tempo-synced electric guitar grooves that serve as the perfect starting point for a cue. All grooves are mapped across several octaves and are freely transposable.

The Interface

Each sequencer has advanced controls which allow you to change the speed, number of steps, direction, offset, fade-in, nudge and loop individually per sequencer. Each sequencer also has copy/paste functions, randomisation and built-in presets.

Fire Strings is an incredibly advanced instrument for Kontakt. Combine two sound sources and rhythmically swap between each sound or create rich evolving soundscapes with gradual modulation. There are also presets per sequencer so you can quickly select pre-built tools to add rhythm and variation instantly.

The 11 effects per sound can be controlled randomly or in positive or negative directions at the press of a button. The amount of control here is unprecedented and opens up a vast world of sound design capabilities.

An additional 8 global send and insert effects allow for even further sound manipulating possibilities.

Interesting.

Thank you. A lot of blood, sweat and bow hairs were put into the making of this library.

One of the coolest sound design sources can be instruments themselves. Getting instruments to make sounds that they weren't designed to is one of the most entertaining aspects of making a sample library. With Fire Strings I went out of my way to find avante garde approaches to playing technique resulting in a core palette of ear grabbing sounds that are sure to spice up your compositions. Some of my favorite are highlighted here in this core content walkthrough video.

Sounds cool, but why do I keep hearing instruments other than the ones you said you used? Did you do so much to change them that they don't sound like themselves anymore?
