Fracture Sounds has introduced its new Kontakt Player-powered virtual instrument library inspired by the signature Scandinavian string sound that has become a staple in modern drama soundtracks.
Soft String Soloists features a trio of violin, viola, and cello, performing at a softer dynamic to evoke a more emotive and intimate tone.
As composers, we often find ourselves reaching for solo strings when scoring emotive or subtle scenes. However, we noticed a gap: many of the string libraries out there are recorded with a more prominent and virtuosic tone, which soars above the orchestra but doesn’t lend itself to softer and more intimate compositions.
To address this, we created Soft String Soloists, a versatile legato library inspired by the popular “Scandi String” sound that has become a hallmark of neo-classical music and contemporary drama scoring.

- Includes solo violin, viola, and cello.
- 9 articulations per instrument (27 in total), including two types of legato.
- 3 microphone positions (close, mid, far).

- Full NKS support – works with Komplete Kontrol hardware.
- 26GB download size (NCW compressed from a 58GB sample pool).
- Download through Native Access.
Soft String Soloists is on sale for 129 EUR (regular 169 EUR) as part of a Black Friday promotion until December 9th, 2024. Other libraries and bundles are on offer at discounts of up to 45% off during the sale.
