03In depth

Experimental String Sounds and Articulations

Skyline Strings draws on orchestral recordings that KLANG captured with special and uncommon articulations. Rather than presenting strings only as a traditional section sound, the instrument emphasizes unusual playing techniques that change the character of each note.

The developer also processed these recordings through various modular effects. This gives the instrument a sound that stays rooted in familiar acoustic timbres while taking on synthetic and processed textures.

Vocoded Violins and Creative Processing

KLANG also explored what a violin sounds like when routed through a vocoder. The developer presents the vocoded violin results as one of the highlights of the SYMPHONIC range.

This makes the instrument a useful starting point for producers looking for strings that function as a textural or rhythmic element rather than a background pad.
