Kirk Hunter Studios Chamber Strings Adaptive [KONTAKT]

Chamber Strings Adaptive
Recorded at the First Presbyterian Church, Santa Monica where A-list Los Angeles-based orchestras record and perform.

- Stunning chamber sound; amazing playability.
- Incredibly flexible "ensemble' patches.
- For "ensemble" patches, each section can contain ANY short or long articulation (spiccato, staccato, detache, pizzicato, col legno, Bartok pizzicato, sustain, tremolo, major trill, minor trill).
- Silky smooth slurred or bowed legato.
- Flexible legato choices: Polyphonic, non-polyphonic, intense, mild, bowed.
- Vibrato and dynamics can "chase" velocity smoothly EVEN on held notes.
- Go from punchy and aggressive marcatos to silky smooth legatos with no keyswitching or controllers.
- Two different portamento styles.
- Extensive modeling to conserve the memory footprint.
- Flexible vibrato control.
- Added automation page for controlling such things as articulations, vibrato, dynamics and more via MIDI CC.

Fully Integrated Ensemble Patches

Fully Separated Individual Patches

- Purge/Load
- Legato on/off
- Attack control whether via velocity or slider
- Section high and low note range control
- Short articulation selection
- Long articulation selection

- Short articulation velocity sensitivity
- Tighten/Broaden Short articulation
- Bow-change samples on/off
- 8va, 8vb for violins and basses
- Vibrato control
- Solo/mute

Global Control ():

- "Space" presets - The room style of the orchestra
- "Touch" presets - Choose how you want the instrument to respond to your playing style
- "Speed" presets - Choose the response attack
- "Info" screen showing current keyswitch map and velocity-chasing for vibrato and dynamics
- Release time

- 8va, 8vb for violins and basses
- Vibrato control

Mixer Page:

- Section note mixer - independent note level control.
- Short and Long Articulation Choosers
- Short and Long Articulation Volume
- Velocity control for short articulations.
- Release samples on/off.
- 3-Band Parametric EQ
- Dynamics slider.
- Dynamics velocity sensitivity

- Expression velocity sensitivity
- Reverb and Room Size
- Release samples volume.
- Detailed vibrato controls
- Microphone Mixer (Near, Mid, Far)
- Section Mixer for Violins, Violas, Cellos and Basses (Level, Pan, Purge)

Under the Hood:

- Round Robin is randomized so that you never hear a "loop" effect
- Samples of the church ambience are carefully mixed in for a very natural sound
