Messing about with a (hopefully) decent quality instrument for string section type parts in my little Christmas album and thought I'd share. The lead instruments are the Ldk1609 Violin used in SSO and the Cello and Bass from MSLP combined with the violin, viola, celli and bass sections from SSO.
It's intended to be for backup string tracks where you don't feel like putting in a lot of work but want something that sounds realer than a synth patch. At 100 megs its fairly small, though it will eat up some voices. I tried to do a nice mix, but I'm not sure if it works. Any feedback is appreciated.

Your reverb needs a little adjustment to display correctly etc & set defaults but other than that sounds good.

Nice one

 

Thanks BC ... Nice to see you "back"!

 

Thanks for the script User 137. I uploaded a new version using it.
Hey Phloopy. I'm not really back, just can't quite break the habit.
