Time+Space have announced the Cinematic Strings competition. Throughout July they are offering the chance to win a copy worth £375.

Created to meet the needs of working composers in today's film, television and video game industries, Cinematic Strings 2 is designed for quickly creating orchestral string scores.

Produced in the world class Verbrugghen Hall of the Sydney Conservatorium, Cinematic Strings 2 boasts a new easy-to-use interface, a more authentic and efficient legato engine designed to allow real legato transitions to be integrated seamlessly into melodies, three mic positions – close, stage and room – plus a new 'mix' microphone position for a full sound without stretching the CPU.

Cinematic Strings 2.0 is also now Kontakt Player 5 compatible so it'll work as a standalone product without the need to purchase any additional software.

Competition ends 31st July, 2012, and is open to entrants worldwide.
