01Overview

Sinphonica Maestosa Strings is the first release in the Sinphonica platform, which IK Multimedia describes as a family of Italian orchestral instruments. The collection centers on a 60-piece string orchestra with 16 first violins, 14 second violins, 12 violas, 10 cellos and 8 double basses. The sections were recorded in Milan with a group of Italian orchestral musicians, and the library is built around expressive performance control rather than a simple set of sampled notes.

03In depth

Sound, Articulations and Performance Control

The library offers five responsive True Legato styles and more than 40 articulations, each with up to five dynamic layers and six round robins. Articulation Morphing is included to create smooth transitions between playing techniques, and Dynamic Curve control shapes how a performance responds to expression.

IK Multimedia says the goal is to preserve the movement and interaction of a living orchestra. The instrument is designed so composers can shape phrasing directly instead of programming each articulation change by hand.

Microphone Perspectives and Ensemble Patches

Eight microphone perspectives are available, positioned on a virtual stage with the PALCO system. This lets you place the orchestra in a mix in a way that suits the scene you are writing for.

The collection also includes cinematic textures, ensemble patches and integrated mixing tools, so you can work from full-ensemble sounds as well as individual sections.
