Sections
Berlin Symphonic Strings offers exceptionally large sections of orchestral string instruments for a rich, cinematic sound:
- 18 first violins.
- 16 second violins.
- 14 violas.
- 12 celli.
- 8 basses.
Melodic Legato
Captured in musical context, the Melodic Legato mode produces lifelike and musical transitions between notes while incorporating natural vibrato. With its long transition samples, Melodic Legato is especially useful when playing themes, slow phrases, and passages.
Pattern Legato
Optimized for ostinato patterns, Pattern Legato eliminates the machine gun effect of other sample libraries by using a round-robin approach, with three samples for every transition. Varying the sound of repeating notes delivers natural, organic results.
Rapid Legato
Developed for playing fast runs with the large string sections of Berlin Symphonic Strings, Rapid Legato yields new levels of realism that easily surpass results from other libraries. Even the fastest melodies are now 100% playable and convincing.
In situ–everything in its right place
For heightened realism, all Berlin Symphonic Strings instruments were recorded with musicians in their traditional orchestra seating positions. This in situ approach helps to ensure that instruments are in perfect equilibrium and blend together naturally.
