CineStrings Core: Orchestral Strings Library for Kontakt by Cinesamples

The library includes non-vibrato, vibrato and espressivo sustains, with smooth dynamic morphing across five dynamics and across each vibrato position. Natural legatos morph smoothly across four dynamics.

Short bowed articulations include spiccato, staccato, marcato and sforzando overlay, along with tremolos, sul-pont tremolos, whole-step and half-step trills, pizzicato, Bartok pizz, col legno and harmonic sustains. These cover the basic set of articulations used for most traditional string writing.

The Hairpin Creator automatically produces swells based on time or synced to your DAW, so the strings can crescendo and decrescendo without programming a series of controller changes. It can also link a non-vibrato state to espressivo.

The bow-attack overlay lets you switch overlay types such as marcato or sforzando with a CC. The overlay is applied to sustains and legatos when you play at a hard velocity, which lets you build different bow-attack styles and recall them in your DAW.
