Synthetic Strings

Heavyocity Synthetic Strings, also known as NOVO Pack 03, is a sophisticated virtual instrument designed to bring the iconic sounds of classic and contemporary string synthesizers into modern music production and cinematic scoring. This Kontakt-powered library meticulously blends the warmth and depth of vintage analog synths with Heavyocity's signature sound design capabilities, offering a unique sonic palette without the tuning inconsistencies often associated with hardware.

Developed to deliver the lush soundscapes prevalent in synth-heavy film and TV scores—drawing inspiration from works like *Dunkirk*, *The Social Network*, *Mr. Robot*, and *The Knick*—Synthetic Strings provides composers and producers with an extensive collection of ready-to-play sounds. It features a curated anthology of over a dozen string-based synthesizers, reimagined through the powerful NOVO engine. This allows for the creation of rich tonal beds, evocative textures, and deeply unique rhythmic pulses, serving as a versatile tool for ambient, techno, cinematic, and various other contemporary genres.
