Performance Samples releases "Fluid Shorts" for Kontakt with Intro Offer

Performance Samples has released Fluid Shorts, with an introductory pricing period through July 24th.

Fluid Shorts is based around performance-sourced off-the-string spiccatos with a smaller string ensemble (8/6/4/3). The instruments are built to function well in moderate repetition, by way of performances that have been deconstructed from phrases into playable samples.

Features:

• Four individual sections: 8 violins, 6 violas, 4 cellos, and 3 basses.
• Predominantly principle musicians.
• Recorded in an ambient hall with close, decca, and wide mic positions.
• Section unity – all musicians performing on the same session.
• Three dynamic layers (two on basses), from moderately soft to FFF.
• All assets are performance-sourced (pulled from recorded repetitions) for cohesion, and manually timed for consistency.
• Two delay levels: normal (127 ms) and tight (80 ms).
• 48kHz / 24-bit.
• NCW-compressed, ~2.57 GB total.
• Built for Kontakt 5.5.1 and above – full, retail version of Kontakt required.
• Download via Continuata.

Price: $49 intro through July 24th, then $79.
