Favorite Kontakt Libraries for atmospheric ambient and organic string instruments/sounds?

[BBFG#]

Do you mean only the ones made by NI or by anyone?
Not much of a fan for most of the NI ones.
But what first comes to mind and very much like are Vir2 Q, Vir2 Fractured and Vir2 Violence...

[Cinebient]

Harmonic Subtones / Best Service Emotional Cello, Emotional Violin (yes, not only great solo strings but my favorites for atmospheric string sounds, best sustains and strings textures in any library for me).
Then Heavyocity Intimate and Rhythmic Textures.

[Fleer]

Spitfire Audio NEO, including ambient strings and synths.

[BONES]

It will come down to how much you feel like spending. Best bang for your buck strings is without a doubt NOVO Essentials from Heavyocity.

Yeah! I bought Tundra a couple of months before the release of 'NEO, and I think NEO might've been a little closer to what I wanted. Not that I feel regret - Tundra is a beautiful library. I just feel that for what I am doing at the moment that a more 'intimate' sound profile would be a better fit.

Missed out on the last Heavyocity sale, but I may end up supplementing the more open nature of T with 'Intimate Textures', at some point.

Wow! 'Emotional Cello' sounds beautiful! Lovely legato (including fingered), and the other articulations all sound great

So out of my budget for a solo instrument, though. I'm guessing they do sales?

It's superb really.

Yes, sometimes. I think this was on sale not long ago, even 50% off and i guess it will be again from time to time. The Emotional Viola should be close to release so maybe a sale from the Emotional Cello (and maybe Violin) comes as well before.
Like i said. I really love the sustains and string textures you get with this one and especially the Cello is the best here for me.

I still use STS from HG Fortune.
With the right reverb and some eqining you get the best out of it.

Not quite 50% off but close:

Nice HG Fortune mention. Still, some of my favorite instruments.

Can't afford it, currently. But it's good to know that it does occasionally go on sale. Black Friday, perhaps

Many thanks!

I really like the libraries from Frozen Plain and Audiofier. You can pick them up pretty cheap at audioplugin.deals as well.
