Another String Dimension

When you’re seeking more nuance and want to explore all the tonal dimensions that string ensembles offer, this collection is perfect for composers and producers alike. Our “Flexible Five“ – five string sections that master any task from classical symphonic playing to scene-stealing film scoring – give you flexibility and tweakability through access to each individual player of the ensemble, either automatically or through your own adjustments. The result is as life-like as it gets, as the “Humanize Presets” add those subtle timing and pitch imperfections that happen naturally during a live performance to each player of the ensemble, scalable in real-time.

Overview

  • 5 String sections:
    8 First violins, 8 second violins, 6 violas, 6 cellos and 4 double basses

  • Recorded in groups, with individual microphones for each player

  • Authentic ensemble sound with direct access to each voice

  • Humanize Presets for real-time control of performance accuracy 

  • Avoid/force open strings, “sul” patches to determine which strings are to be played

  • Individual impulse responses from Synchron Stage Vienna for placement and reverberation of each musician of the ensemble

  • The string players of each ensemble performed together in homogeneous groups, but were mic’d individually so they’re separately available in the Synchron Player’s mixer. You may easily switch between any number of musicians of the ensembles, from the principal to single desks to the full ensemble size. What’s more, the integrated mixer allows you to automate and individually control each player's volume, timing, pitch, vibrato, and more. Using the “Humanize” fader you can automatically adjust timing and pitch simultaneously, making it easy to introduce more or less imperfections to each musician’s performance. Each ensemble instrument has its own Synchron Stage Impulse Response for placement and reverberation, so it’s a breeze to use each Dimension Strings ensemble in one instance of the Synchron Player.

  • Articulations are the same for all articulation styles:

    • Regular – Normal playing

    • Open String – String changes always to the next open string

    • Force G/D/A/E String (Violins); Force C/G/D/A String (Violas, Cellos); Force B/E/A/D String (Basses) – Played on the respective string for approx. 1 1/2 octaves before changing

    • For every instrument there are Compact and Full Presets. Compact contains only the Regular samples.

    • As patches and articulations are the same for all instruments, only the 1st Violins are listed here.
