Adaptive Legato Engine

Berlin Strings features an innovative new legato system which analyzes your performance to choose between four different types of legato:

- Slurred expressive legato
- Agile, fast legato (scripted)
- fast runs legato
- portamento

With velocity you have control over different captured bow stroke intensities (soft attack, immediate attack, accented attack). With the sustain pedal you can add a soft decay to end a phrase. These release samples have been specifically recorded.

Additionally, the faster you play the more blurred the intonation will turn out - like in a real string performance. These blurred intonation effects will be created by specifically sampled articulations.

Via a CC of your choice you can switch between different vibrato expressions.

Please view our screencast "CHAPTER II: Legato" to get further information.

Sections and their Sizes

For Berlin Strings we decided to choose smaller section sizes to keep the definition and vibrato details in the sampled patches.
Several crossfading techniques (dynamic layers, legatos fade scripts, vibrato fading) or playing more than one voice leads to a bigger and pad-like undefined string sound. With smaller sections we´re trying to take this effect into calculation to end up with a detailed, expressive orchestral string section.

Berlin Strings includes the following sections:
- 1st Violins (8 players)
- 2nd Violins (6 players)
- Violas (5 players)
- Celli (5 players)
- Basses (4 players)

Bow Noise & Blurred Artics

Bow Noise
Add natural cc controllable bow noise for additional expressiveness.

New: Blurred Articulations
We recorded special untuned and blurred articulations, which you can blend as a sonic color to change the impression of the intonation in a phrase.
String Runs
Berlin Strings will offer playable runs patches, as well as pre-recorded octave runs, which adapt automatically to your host tempo.

The Room

Our vision is a full, very extensively sampled orchestra at Teldex. After Berlin Woodwinds, which became one of the most professionally used woodwind sample libraries in the world, Berlin Strings is our next step towards realizing this vision.

The library was recorded in one of the best sounding scoring stages in Europe with a fantastic complement of legendary microphones catapulting Berlin Strings on a new level of orchestral string sampling.

The large recording stage at Teldex looks back on a long tradition of many well-known and Grammy® award-winning recordings. Famous orchestras, like the Berlin Philharmonics and great film composers from the USA and Europe trust and love the wide and clear acoustics of this room.


Berlin Strings - Orchestral tools -Coming in december

After Berlin Woodwinds, Berlin Strings will be the next continuation of our long dreamed Berlin Teldex Orchestra.

In the main library we fully concentrated on all the daily used articulations for expressive and detailed string writing on over 250GB of samples (119GB compressed). Berlin Strings will become one of the most extensively sampled string libraries ever created including many innovations.

Status:
Already recorded, edited and in beta status. Scheduled release is December 2013.

Seems... umm.... Excessive? *yes*

 

Don't ya know by now, dudes can never have enough string libz.
And seein this is over 100 GB ya know that guys is gonna go bananaz and praise da Lord for it way before they even know how it works.

 

So that it sound real has to weigh this quantity or more, of the contrary all this bookshop of 3 or 4 gb, the sounds are frightful and unreal, and finish having a quantity of strings of distinct companies that any satisfies and does not serve, then with a bookshop of 100gb never more necesitás another.

 

It'll be along the lines of Hollywood Strings where if you know how to write for strings, it'll be a fantastic library. But if you're mostly focused on writing string ensemble pads (and I don't mean that as a negative thing, many good composers don't do intricate string writing), and don't know the first thing about string bowing (and why it matters during melodies and rhythmic accompaniment), then yes it'll be a pretty pointless 100 GB.
