LCO Producer Strings

LCO Producer Strings is a modern and expressive string library developed in collaboration with the boundary-breaking London Contemporary Orchestra. Designed with contemporary artists and producers in mind, this instrument breaks free from traditional emulation to offer a tool for genuine musical expression. It captures the infinitely versatile sound of the LCO, recorded in stunning detail at London's iconic RAK Studios with acclaimed engineer Fiona Cruickshank. Whether you are crafting cinematic film scores, radio-ready hits, rap anthems, or experimental electronic soundscapes, LCO Producer Strings provides a curated library of incredible-sounding strings that are ready to be shaped and integrated into any project without the need for extensive orchestral expertise.

The power of LCO Producer Strings lies in its flexible four-layer hybrid engine, which allows you to stack and blend sounds from violins, violas, cellos, and synths to create vivid, kaleidoscopic textures. The library features a range of both classic and creative performance techniques, from cluster blooms and harmonic flickers to percussive pizzicatos, all designed to be playable, cinematic, and instantly usable across genres. You can explore the raw beauty of the organic string recordings or blend them with evolving synth beds and granular textures for unique hybrid timbres. Further sound sculpting is available through built-in effects and modulation routing, letting you push the signal towards lush shimmers, gritty saturation, or otherworldly spectral movement, all while keeping the sound musical and mix-ready.
