Chamber Strings Adaptive - The World’s Most Playable and Flexible Chamber Strings Library

Enjoy silky smooth slurred or bowed legato, with flexible legato choices including polyphonic, non-polyphonic, intense, mild, and bowed styles.

Vibrato and dynamics respond in real-time, even on held notes, enabling effortless transitions from punchy, aggressive marcatos to lush, flowing legatos—all without the need for keyswitching. Two distinct portamento styles further enhance realism.

Advanced modeling ensures a minimal memory footprint, while the added automation page offers deep control over articulations, vibrato, dynamics, and more via MIDI CC. 

Recorded in the renowned First Presbyterian Church in Santa Monica—home to A-list Los Angeles orchestral recordings—this library captures the rich, authentic character of world-class chamber strings.
