Hey all,

I need recommendations on libraries that have string runs or a general orchestral phrases library that contain major and minor string runs in different keys.

Thanks.

Sonivox hip hop playa strings or Native Instruments "Session Strings" which just came out not even 2 weeks ago. You can download the free Kontakt player for them if you don't have Kontakt 4. I have both. Both have phrases. I'd say the Sonnivox aren't as convenient to use as Session strings imo but still a pretty good choice. Don't of any that has phrases of entire orchestras though, jut strings.

Sony Samples have four libraries of this kind of thing: Classical, Modern, Cinematic and Rock & Pop. They might suit your needs?

Link to the Classical one, where you can easily find the others from.

I should be more specific, the kind of runs I'm looking for are like the ones at 0:38 in . But could this be very easily done with samples?

Thanks!

This library has some disco-style string runs:

The ultimate string runs library was called Smart Violins. It's no longer available as a separate product but it's included in the Peter Siedlaczek Complete Classical Collection together with the Advanced Orchestra, Classical Choir and some other libraries:

Hi Yoss,

I'm producing a special library for tempo locked string runs, string figures and there will be a inovative String Runs Builder for creating individual runs.
The library will be released on september as a download product for Kontakt 3.5 and Kontakt 4.

Here is a short preview of Orchestral String Runs:

All the best,

Hendrik

Hi Hendrik,

This sounds very impressive!

Any indication of the price? Is it all one section or can you have different section sizes?

BTW, I checked out your other YouTube video with the scoring session - beautiful music!

Best of luck with your new library.

Cheers,

/Yoss

Hey Yoss,

thank you for your comment.
I working hard on it at the moment.

There is one section in the following size:
14 1st Violins
12 2nd Violins
10 Violas
And in some Samples 8 Celli/ 6 Basses

The video is only a first look on the library.
More information about the pricing of OSR and a new website will follow in
the next weeks.

All the best,

Hendrik

Hey Hendrik,

Let me echo Yossarian's comments and say that it looks like a very useful and impressive library set. I also enjoyed your other video. It must be wonderful to work with a full orchestra like that. My congratulations.

Cheers,
Matt

I posted about Orchestral String Runs in the vi-control forum:

www.vi-control.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17030

They seem to be as impressed as I am. You might want to drop by there to get some more feedback.

Cheers,

the ability to put together your own runs would seem to be the next step in useful realistic
looking forward to September release

SampleModeling are working on solo strings which you can build sections from. And yes, they WILL do convincing string runs. Look at Garritan's solo violin and cello if you want just an idea of how playable they will be. And i've heard they will blow the socks off the Garritan solo violin and cello.

I wouldn't bother with anything else IMHO.

String runs/General orchestral phrases library?
