This library was recorded in Hollywood, California, and done so quite “dry” so you don’t have to worry about having too much ambience in the samples. With Concert Strings 2, you’re not limited in the size of the section.
You get 4 different sizes ranging from solos, to a huge symphonic section.
And of course, you can easily blend them to get your own personal sound.
At default, both Velocity and the Mod Wheel are set to control the vibrato amount. To change this, simply click the menu at the lower left of the interface.
If you choose to use the mod wheel, you can further customize the sensitivity by drawing your own curve. There is also a “VibratoLive” feature that will automate the vibrato for even more realism.
Unlike most other string libraries where you have to choose either velocity or MIDI CC to control volume, Concert Strings Legacy enables you to use either to varying degrees.
Samples recorded with “hpc” (human pitch correction) sound very “real” especially during medium and fast phrases. This is due to the fact that when strings players play, sometimes, they are likely to be slightly out of tune at the beginning of each note.
However, this is a desired effect. Without it, the result can sound rather sterile and “flat” and even “synthy”. With this new HPC control, you can turn on or off the hpc feature, or use it variably above certain velocity points.
