Berlin Strings EXP E - SFX is the final installment of our orchestral effect range within the Berlin Series.
It complements the Berlin Woodwinds EXP D - SFX and Berlin Brass EXP C - Horn SFX Collections with
extensively captured playable multi-sampled tonal and atonal string effects. It is recorded at the level of
flexibility and depth of sampling the Berlin Series is renowned for since its first Collection release.

With thousands of risers, effect glissandos, clusters and the new tempo-synced Measured Trills, this Collection
is crafted to create a really controllable arsenal of Playable Effect Articulations throughout the full natural
instrument ranges. Round Robins on several articulations and controllable dynamic layers for most of the patches
let you break through the limitations of simple one shot effect samples.



All articulations were captured in individual sections to be able to orchestrate your own string ensemble combinations.
Because this collection was recorded at the famous Teldex Scoring Stage with first-class musicians from Berlin,
it perfectly fits into the orchestral sonic world of the Berlin Series.

Berlin Strings EXP E - SFX is based on CAPSULE for the NI Kontakt 5 Full version sampler.

HIGHLIGHTS:

- Single Sections
for individual and flexible String FX writing and orchestrating

- Playable Effects: Each articulation is recorded with its full range, different dynamic layers and most of them with
Round Robins for remarkable realism and flexibility.

- Measured Trills up to a 5th at two different speeds
Incl. a Tempo Script that adjusts the Measured Trills automatically to your host tempo

- Ligeti Clusters

- Huge Collection of Aleatoric Clusters,
Sustains, Staccatos, Dynamics, Tremolos, ...

- Extensive Aleatoric Glissando Sets

18 GB just for an expansion pack? OMG!

 

Jeez... I love Orchestral Tools. They make some of the best stuff around imo. Everything is very deeply sampled and their new GUI, C.A.P.S.U.L.E, make their instruments quite customizable which puts them at the top of all the current developers. The new GUI looks very nice as well.
The only negative thing about them is their pricing - which sadly is also at the top... But their instruments are not aimed at hobbyists, but at the truly professional market.

Can't wait for their brass series!!

 

It remembers me the early days, with GIGA format, when ppl needed several computers (they called them just" boxes") to run a full orchestra.
1 box for strings, 1 box for brass, 1 box for piano/percs/others, 1 box for woods...and 1 box for sequencer

A little reading, for fun :
GIGA mess

Nowadays, you can run all on a single computer with several SSDs, an octocore and 32GB RAM
