Concert Strings Adaptive

World's Most Playable & Flexible Symphonic Strings

Experience silky smooth slurred or bowed legato, with multiple legato styles including polyphonic, non-polyphonic, intense, mild, and bowed options. 

Vibrato and dynamics respond naturally to velocity, even on sustained notes, enabling effortless movement from bold, aggressive marcatos to lush, flowing legatos—without the need for keyswitching. Two distinct portamento styles add further realism and nuance.

Engineered with advanced modeling for an efficient memory footprint, Concert Strings Adaptive also includes an automation page for deep control over articulations, vibrato, dynamics, and other key parameters via MIDI CC. 

Recorded at the prestigious First Presbyterian Church in Santa Monica—where A-list Los Angeles orchestras record—this library captures the grandeur and depth of true symphonic strings.
