Restrung Vol. 1
VERSION 1.1 UPDATE RELEASED:
- Added many new samples to extend the violin range down to the low G

- Fixed many of the marcato samples that were a bit too far out of tune
- Added new Ensemble patch for quick mockups and inspiration (simple crossfaded instrument with Cello, Viola and Violin loaded together)
Restrung Volume 1, the next installment in our Artist Series, is a new solo string library (Violin, Viola and Cello) that is a truly unique sounding solo string instrument, giving you a raw, close, visceral sound you just won't find anywhere else. If you are writing Neo Classical, Tension or Horror music, you'll find this sound to be very inspiring. It also works very well as a top-layer with your orchestral strings to give them some extra punch and grit in the mix!
Recorded with the extremely talented Joni Fuller (yourstringsattached), each string instrument was multi-sampled across 3 octaves with multiple velocity layers, multiple round robins and 8 different articulations. All recordings were made in a very tight room, using the same setup used to record the strings in our popular Unstrung library.
The performance of each articulation is very aggressive, played with tension and horror cues in mind and leaving the beautiful imperfections in place to give you a very realistic and raw sound.
To add extra grit, we multi sample an extra 3 octave layer of noisy, screechy, beautifully hideous notes for each of the 3 articulations: Spiccatissimo, Spiccato, Staccato. Each of the other articulations can also choose to overly any of these extra aggression layers to give them harder attacks and unique sound combinations.
