VIVID STRINGS is a testament to the beauty and intricacy of string instruments, captured with a level of detail and intimacy that’s rare in the world of sample libraries. Be one of the first to experience the vivid, expressive world of VIVID STRINGS.
With our first release of the Violins 1 section, delve into a rich library of meticulously recorded articulations, including six types of legato (6 vibrato types), Sustain, Tremolo, a range of Arc Vibratos and Non Vibratos, Staccato, Spiccato, Staccato Pop, and Pizzicato.
Recorded in a pristine “dry” studio environment (acousticly well treated), VIVID STRINGS captures the raw, unfiltered essence of each string instrument.
This studio setting ensures a sound that is dry, close, and incredibly intimate, retaining the unique character of each player.
With 3 microphone perspectives to choose from, you can apply your own reverb or use the built in reverb to make these strings blend with your own existing sample libraries.
In a market saturated with epic, larger-than-life string libraries, VIVID STRINGS stands apart with its focus on intimate, detailed, and character-driven samples.
Whether you’re crafting sensitive passages, intricate melodies, or looking for that ‘close-up’ string sound, VIVID STRINGS delivers with unparalleled clarity and expressiveness.
Diverse Articulations for Every Mood: From the soaring heights of legato to the crisp accents of staccato, each articulation in VIVID STRINGS has been carefully recorded to capture the essence of string performance.
Additionally, the dry studio environment ensures that what you hear is unadulterated, pure string tone – perfect for mixing and matching within your projects.
VIVID STRINGS is being released in sections as they become available. The segmented release of VIVID STRINGS sections allows you to select and utilize the specific sounds you want and need, building up to the full ensemble for a comprehensive string toolkit.
Additionally it lowers the barrier to entry for everyone, which is a big plus in our book.
Curious just how “dry” the samples are? Here is the fabulous demo track “Hisaishi’s Summer” by Brendon Bourgade with zero reverb.
The original demo track contained just the built in Kontakt reverb, but these two versions contain 0% reverb so you can hear just how dry the strings can be.

A basic but very usable string library that is, thankfully, recorded dry, which I’m a big fan of from a mixing perspective. At the intro price it’s pretty much a steal. A really great layering library as well, to give those “too soaked in reverb” libraries a nice dry little boost. Great work.

Vivid Strings provides a very unique musical sensibility compared to the other libraries and instruments out there. I really like the variety and sonic choices available that Pulse Audio products provide. For the price – this is a great value.

Incredibly intimate and expressive library that far surpassd my expectations. This will be seeing a lot of use in the coming months. I can’t wait for the next installments and hope once they’re done we get some new articulations!

The shopping experience was great !…No problems there ! A really nice sounding program, especially for the price….The only feature that I would like to see would be an adjustable sample start knob so that you could adjust how fast or slow that you want the instrument to initially start to play….Having a set delay doesn’t work for me…

This is an excellently priced and superbly recorded set of libraries so far (vioin and celli). Looking forward to completing the collection, as it’s very versatile and sounds great!
