01Overview

Threads is an expansion for CUBE, the host it requires, and it focuses on strings. Lunacy built it around 35 sound sources that combine solo orchestral strings with more unusual plucked and bowed sounds. The developer describes the library as a fresh take on string sample libraries. The pack ships with 120 presets, which give you a starting point for pads, textures and melodic parts without building sounds from scratch.

String Sounds and Articulations in Threads

The 35 sound sources cover a broad range of string instruments, each with expressive and distinct articulations. Lunacy states that more than 1,400 samples were recorded, then layered and processed with sound design techniques to create a new sonic character rather than a plain orchestral reproduction.

The mix of conventional strings and processed plucked and bowed tones makes the pack useful for both realistic-leaning parts and more experimental textures. Because the sources are layered, you can shape a sound by blending elements instead of relying on one instrument alone.

Presets and Workflow with CUBE

Threads includes 120 presets created by composers and producers. Each preset gives you a finished starting point, so you can audition sounds quickly and then adjust them to fit your track.

Threads requires CUBE or CUBE Mini version 1.2.5 or higher. It is an expansion, so it works inside CUBE rather than as a standalone instrument.
