Orchestral Tools has released version 2.0 of Berlin Strings, a string instrument library for Native Instruments Kontakt, which now features Capsule.

Capsule uses Kontakt’s scripting engine to add features like polyphonic keyswitching in Multi Articulation Patches, and the possibility to apply True Legato intervals to any long notes. Capsule is designed to be customizable to a users’ needs and to fit in every workflow situation.
