Audio Impressions has announced that it has teamed up with VisionDAW to roll-out their DVZ-Powered STRINGS library.

With software developed by an award winning composer and hardware engineered for demanding audio applications this complete system is pre-configured with Realtime – Strings, DVZ-RT, Space software in three (2- rack space) VisionDAW computers for $11,999.

Ai's RT-Strings feature 70 of London's finest (18 Violins I, 16 Violins II, 14 Violas, 12 Celli and 10 Basses) arranged in a "real world" number of instruments per section that can be selected in any combination. All articulations and playing styles are readily available for each instrument without reloading samples or key-switching using a single intuitive interface.

Ai's patented DVZ "divisi" process prevents notes from stacking up as chords are played for natural orchestral balance, while their patent-pending SPACE process simulates room and spot microphone bleed for continuous control over individual player placement on a virtual soundstage in real time, 7.1 Surround Sound and up to 192 kHz sample rates.

According to Carl Marinoff, Ai's Marketing Director, this system is fully scalable. To play all of the sounds at once in the library requires 3 Apple Mac Pro's or Intel Pentium IV PC's (2 GHz or faster) at 44.1-48 kHz. You're able to go from composing music in the studio to performing live theatrical-stage productions by simply adding computers for higher audio resolutions.

A software only version of Ai's Realtime – Strings, DVZ-RT, Space, on a single USB drive will also be available for $3,499.
