01Overview

Emotive Strings extends the factory sound bank of KHORDS with a collection of string and pad sounds. The developer says the waveforms were built from real-world recordings of a small string section, which gives them an organic character. The 100 presets are grouped by type, so you can find a starting point quickly. The developer describes the material as suitable for soundtracking and ambient music, and also for styles such as Hip-Hop, DNB, House and Trap.

Waveforms and Sound Character

The pack contains 50 new waveforms. According to Loopmasters Plugins, they are organized into 12 Major Feel Chords, 16 Minor Feel Chords and 23 Root/Open Notes. This split gives you chord-based material in both major and minor tonalities, along with single notes for building your own voicings.

The sounds come from recordings of a small string section. The developer contrasts them with generic synth string presets, pointing to their more organic movement and tone.

Preset Categories and Workflow

The 100 presets are divided into 41 Pads, 8 Stabs, 7 Leads, 41 Strings and 3 SFX. Pads and strings make up most of the library, so the pack leans toward sustained textures for beds and layers.

You need KHORDS 1.0.4 or higher to use the pack. Update KHORDS before you install the expansion, or the content will not load correctly.
