Xsample Chamber Ensemble

Xsample Chamber Ensemble (XCE) is a large library of high-quality solo instruments for chamber music and chamber orchestra.

XCE comes equipped with a Kontakt2 Player engine which significantly expands user' options when XCE is used in conjunction with certain composition programs. For instance, XCE with Kontakt2 is able to work out an elaborated interface for the adaptation of the notation programs Finale and Sibelius. Due to the harmonic interaction between the Xsample instruments and these composition programs, users' notated ideas can come alive in a musically interpreted manner.

With several instrument variations, including stereo and mono, Xsample easily handles numerous key switches using Kontakt2 as well as globally occupied key switches. For example, you can easily find "sul pont" for violin, viola, violoncello and double bass all on the same key.
