Recorded by 2001 Emmy award-winning engineer, Antonio Oliart, and RIAA award-winning engineer, John Bono, designed and produced by Sonic Implants engineers, the Sonic Implants Symphonic String Collection is a 20 CD-ROM box set (DVDs available) of the most comprehensive, beautiful and playable ensemble string sounds available. Rich, multi-dynamic instruments, with resonant string decays intact and gigabytes of articulations from which to choose. Designed for the utmost in expressiveness and realism; a joy to create with. Recorded at Sonic Temple Studios, Roslindale, MA.
Articulations:
Section Versatility
Each string section was recorded in its traditional position within the orchestra for a full stereo sound. User defined panning possible without stereo phase degradation. Programming allows for small or large section sound.
Dynamics and Phrasing
Up to 4 dynamic levels recorded for each articulation. Down and Up bows recorded for tone and phrasing variation. Very authentic, very playable, and Giga programmed for quick transitions between articulations.
Release Samples
Release samples included to preserve the natural string instrument resonance and subtle ambient decay of the room. These samples simply trigger when you lift the keys. The difference? Now you're playing instruments, not samples.
