Fracture Sounds has introduced a new string textures library designed to add nuance and movement to static string chords.
Comprising a small chamber ensemble made up of three violins, violas, and celli, the dynamic grouping of String Formations is ideal for scoring at a smaller scale, or doubling and combining with a larger ensemble instrument to add movement to more traditionally static string libraries.
The Kontakt Player-powered library features 23 articulations, 20 atmosphere layers, and a Layer Blends engine that combines many of the sounds for a varied sonic palette.
Recorded in the large hall of The Nave, Studio 1, String Formations offers three mic perspectives that can help blend with other instruments. The close mic offers a great dry sound, whilst the middle conductor perspective and the far mics give a greater sense of the hall.
The library extends the innovative programming we introduced with Smart Trills in Petrichor with our Chordal Textures patch. When smart mode is enabled within these articulations, playing chords will automatically trigger specific interval relationships, weaving a tapestry of texture within your composition.
We have also provided 16 Atmospheric Layers created by processing the original raw samples. These can be used in conjunction with the main set of articulations, or in our Layer Blends engine to stretch the sonic capabilities of the library.
Available for Kontakt and the free Kontakt Player, String Formations is on sale for the intro price of £89 GBP or 99 USD/EUR until June 18th, 2024 (regular £129 GBP or 149 USD/EUR).
