8Dio releases "Cinematic Sordino Strings" for Kontakt

25th May 2015

8Dio has released their new deep-sampled Cinematic Sordino Strings, which is described as "the deep and emotional sound of motion picture". The Sordino Strings have a depth, air, silk and sadness to them that you won't find with normal strings.

The library features brand new Sordino Recordings (including 9 new legatos) and contains over 12,000 samples across three microphone positions (Mixed, Close, Far).

Cinematic Sordino Strings offers three different approaches to Cinematic Strings. First of all 8Dio deep-sampled several layers of True Sordino Legatos, which they programmed into a flexible and playable set of True Sordino Legatos. Secondly 8Dio recorded all the sections individually (11 Violins, 8 Violas, 6 Cellos and 4 Basses), so you have full control over each section and thirdly 8Dio reprogrammed all the individual patches into Full Sordino Ensemble Patches for easy, fluent writing and sketching. The Full Sordino Ensemble patches include Sordino Sustains, Sordino and Sordino Dynamic Bowings.

The Cinematic Sordino Strings were produced by Academy Award, TEC and G.A.N.G Award Winning Composer, Troels Folmann and Emmy Nominated composer, Colin O'Malley. The 8Dio Agitato Expansion series is the third branch to the existing Adagietto and Adagio String Collections. The Agitato Expansion series addresses to most sought-after sting articulations, including Grandioso Soaring Legato, Hyper-Fast Legato, True Ostinato and Soaring Sordino. Agitato was recorded in the same large and lush church as our Adagio & Adagietto series and is the logical extension to these libraries.

Agitato Sordino Legato contains a completely new legato system, which is more flexible than ever. You have full control over dynamics and expression, including the ability to link the two. In addition we have a new highly adaptive legato speed system, which really allows the legato to adapt to your compositional style and preference.
