Action Strings 2

With a huge library of orchestral samples and a cutting-edge approach to sampling, Action Strings 2 gives you the high-octane sound of a full string ensemble with an extraordinary level of creative control. This innovative instrument lets you quickly produce original scores with stunning string sounds, creating the perfect workflow for cinematic soundtracks that are rich in dramatic tension.

Action Strings 2 introduces Live Modules – mini-phrases that have been meticulously recorded at different pitches and dynamic intensities, and then combined to create hundreds of phrases and themes. These innovative building blocks can be fused together in countless combinations to deliver the best of both worlds – incredibly natural-sounding string parts combined with a level of freedom and versatility that simply couldn't be achieved with a single-note library. Chop up, duplicate, and infinitely tweak elements of phrases, to create your own individual flourishes, runs and swells.

Recorded by the Hungarian Studio Orchestra in the renowned TOM TOM Studio D, the extraordinary sounds of Action Strings 2 were captured in fine detail from five mic positions. Delivered with sparkling reverb and EQ effects, these exhilarating melodies, driving rhythms, and forceful chords are ready to give your scores instant orchestral drama.

Action Strings 2 combines the heart-stopping tension of violin and viola with the deep, warming tones of cello and bass. Two separately configurable ensembles, Low and High, give you anything from delicately emotive melodies to ominous blasts of power. New bow-attack compensation technology also delivers an ultra-realistic playing experience, while the dynamics envelope control lets you draw in bold sweeps, from subtle diminuendos all the way to towering crescendos.

Action Strings 2 reaches a new level of playability on a Komplete Kontrol keyboard. Toggle quickly and easily between phrases with the Light Guide, or create scores on the fly in Freeplay Mode, all with EQ, reverb and tempo parameters automatically mapped to the controls – a direct line to your creative inspiration.
