A super deep-sampled encyclopaedia of string articulations and techniques. The Spitfire team\u2019s favourite string product to-date.<\/p>\n<p>When many of us hear the word \u201cchamber\u201d we think of white wigs and harpsichords. In modern vernacular however it simply describes a band that is smaller than a symphony orchestra. So anything from a quartet to 40 odd players. Where strings are concerned it generally means a medium sized ensemble consisting of 5 sections (1st violins, 2nd violins, violas, cellos and basses).<\/p>\n<p>Our desire was to create the definitive chamber strings project, recorded at Air Studios, that gives you the widescreen Hollywood sound we all desire, with a detail and ability to articulate that is harder with larger sized string sample libraries.<\/p>\n<p>16 star players, 4 1st Violins, 3 2nds, 3 Violas, 3 Cellos &amp; 3 Basses super deep sampled with over 244 articulations, including 38 shorts, 53 longs, 19 FX, and 45 extraordinary legato patches programmed by Andrew Blaney. Recorded with multiple round robins, dynamic layers and presented with 3 essential and versatile microphone positions. In addition to each individual section we also have a comprehensive selection of articulations and techniques presented in an \u2018ensemble\u2019 format designed for sketching and composing with \u2018out of the box\u2019 satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p>Presented as a Kontakt Player library so no further purchases are necessary to run the library. We\u2019re also proud that it is our first NKS-ready release for use with NI hardware. It features a new \u2018intuitive\u2019 GUI with an inbuilt user manual.<\/p>\n<p>Spitfire was built on a chamber strings project. Many of our friends, including A-list composers, complained that sampled strings were unwieldy, ill-defined and too epic. That for much of their output, sensitive and achingly beautiful quiet passages through to searing lyricism didn\u2019t require huge numbers but attention to detail. That symphonic ranges often tripled and quadrupled in size when playing lots of notes.<\/p>\n<p>So we set about the difficult task of recording a chamber strings range which we shared as part of a private project with our nearest and dearest, and were delighted when it was received with huge amounts of optimism and encouragement.<\/p>\n<p>Many, however, noted how it still sounded \u2018kind of big\u2019. So we returned to the chamber challenge with a question: How small can we go before it no longer sounds like a section? The answer was 4,3,3,3,3. A uniquely intimate group of extraordinary players in one of the best recording locations. Originally available in volumes, this project has now taken 4 years of our life. We now present Spitfire Chamber Strings in a rationalised, and more instantly useable form. As mentioned before it is the Spitfire team\u2019s absolute favourite string range, admired for its beauty, its versatility but also its totally unique sonic character.<\/p>\n<p>For us, if you\u2019re a composer looking to stand out from the herd, our Chamber Strings are worthy of your attention.<\/p>\n<p><b>FEATURES<\/b><br \/>\u2022 244 articulations; 38 shorts, 53 longs, 19 FX &amp; 45 legatos.<br \/>\u2022 16 Top London string players.<br \/>\u2022 Recorded in situ (ie: in the positions they would sit as a section)<br \/>\u2022 Recorded using priceless valve and ribbon mics.<br \/>\u2022 Neve Montserrat Pre-amps into a Neve 88R desk.<br \/>\u2022 Recorded digitally at 96k via 2\u2033 Studer tape.<br \/>\u2022 Deep sampled with multiple dynamic layers and round robins.<br \/>\u2022 Diverse and detailed with essential, additional and some totally unique articulations<br \/>\u2022 Legatos designed by Andrew Blaney<br \/>\u2022 Individual sections and ensembles.<br \/>\u2022 3 Essential, diverse and most favoured mic positions: (C(lose), T(ree), A(mbient)<br \/>\u2022 Kontakt Player included<br \/>\u2022 NKS-ready<br \/>\u2022 New intuitive GUI with inline help system.<br \/>\u2022 Thousands of very proud and happy users around the globe!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\uffe5Spitfire Audio Chamber Strings KONTAKT | 75.3 Gb Small [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[34,20],"tags":[],"topic":[],"class_list":["post-93182","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-kontakt","category-yqyy"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/xs.1ozy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93182","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/xs.1ozy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/xs.1ozy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/xs.1ozy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/xs.1ozy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=93182"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/xs.1ozy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93182\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/xs.1ozy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=93182"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/xs.1ozy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=93182"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/xs.1ozy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=93182"},{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/xs.1ozy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftopic&post=93182"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
