SSS not only consolidates their Mural 1, 2, 3 and Ensembles collections, it's a ‘core’ product with the best and most diverse microphone positions C(lose), T(ree), A(mbient). Not quite an arpeggiator, not quite a sequencer.S pitfire Symphonic Strings (SSS) is the flagship to deliver Spitfire Audio’s impressive library of symphonic strings as a Kontakt instrument. Quite simply a little inspiration machine. How would you like memory to be organised alongside pitch options and how velocity works. How many round robins you would like and how you would like them to behave. Gives you a quick and easy way to access, view and load the different articulations, mic mixes and essential controller functions which you can then re-assign to suit your workflow.Ī deeper but still simple UI panel that allows you to tweak the general settings. SSS is a consolidation of nearly a decades worth of sampling experience, befriending London's finest string players and through a process of Kaizen (that can be tracked through over 20 unique strings libraries we have made) perfecting the ideal balance of life, realism and soul with the accuracy, playability and scripting innovations that you have come to expect, from a library that contains a component that was awarded "Best Sample Library Of The Year 2014" by Music Tech magazine.īy rationalising what was formerly contained in 4 separate volumes, SSS is now an encyclopaedic compendium of Symphonic Strings. Along with the instruments and talent that appeared on those recordings, and the way they were instructed to play. Surely the best way to create samples that enable people to recreate some of the most successful, award-winning recordings of recent times, is to not imitate, but simply replicate where and how they were recorded. Spitfire Audio was built on a very simple core concept. Go as detailed as you wish with each section individually, or dive in with our specially curated 'ensembles' tools designed for quick writing and broad brush strokes.īuying or cross-grading into this core set of samples allows you the opportunity to purchase expansion packs with more microphones and mixes, and other exciting add-ons, like the exclusive and much sought after "Evolutions" pack. Highlights of these include our hugely popular 'flautando' and 'super sul tasto' articulations. From classic and elegant vibrato, and expression controlled 'dolce' samples, to our own up-to-the-minute techniques designed by our award winning team of composers and producers. This is our shot at creating the definitive compendium of Symphonic strings, recorded with a no-holds-barred approach. In addition to each individual section we also have a comprehensive selection of articulations and techniques presented in an 'ensemble' format designed for sketching and composing with 'out of the box' satisfaction. Recorded with multiple round robins, dynamic layers and presented with 3 essential and versatile microphone positions. SSS is the 'Daddy'.Ħ0 Star Players, 16 1st Violins, 14 2nd Violins, 12 Violas, 10 Cellos & 8 Basses super deep sampled with over 175 articulations, including 59 shorts, 94 longs, and 5 extraordinary performance legato patches programmed by Andrew Blaney. The ultimate encyclopaedic compendium of Symphonic strings sampling, recorded in London, with no expense spared. If you want the blockbuster sound you have to go bold, if you want cinematic you have to go big. Deep sampled with our usual affluent approach. Recorded at the studio that has played host to scores from blockbusters that have grossed billions of dollars, with the same players playing the same instruments. If there was a single product that could sum up the foundation of Spitfire's approach to sampling it would be this. Spitfire Audio Symphonic Strings V.1.0.2 KONTAKT
