Sonokinetic Ostinato String Quartet [KONTAKT]

Powerful Emotive Ostinatos
Ostinato Quartet plays rhythmic Ostinato chordal patterns for a string quartet consisting of a Cello, Viola and two Violins.

If you're familiar with the sister Ostinato libraries and our approach to ostinato recording then you'll feel right at home with Ostinato Quartet. The entire approach is different from our regular phrase instruments in that we recorded separate Ostinato patterns for various rhythmic building blocks. After careful editing we combine these through an intelligent script that builds them into chords in 5 different voicings and 4 inversions. The new inversion arpeggio controls create inversion patterns at the press of a key… a fast and easy way to build interesting sequences.

Ostinato Quartet recognises and plays 12 different chord types, handling not only major and minor chords but also diminished, half-diminished, augmented chords and many more. There's a full list documented within the user manual.

Not only does the engine build the chords based on the inversion you play in the chord area, but when you play in the harmonic shift area it will judge which inversion it plays based on the chord that came before it, the chord quality on the key you're in and the position of the chord you're triggering in that key. This ensures that transitions are smooth and harmonically correct, especially important to creating evolving motifs. We have returned to the superb concert hall we employed for other Sonokinetic orchestral libraries and gathered a selection of some of the greatest (and most precise) players to perform for us. Although on the surface the interface looks the same as its sister libraries, Ostinato Quartet has been completely rebuilt in the back-end to work more smoothly.

This library coexists alongside both our Orchestral Series and our Phrase-Based libraries, being recorded in the same hall, with identical mic positions and even utilising some of the same players. Our orchestral libraries blend seamlessly together.
