allow artifact-free “harmonic alignment” processing.avoid “contamination” of the pure strings sounds with the uncontrolled resonances of a particular ambience,.The purpose of anechoic recording was threefold: Pseudo-random detuning and pitch & dynamics modulation, based on real performance-derived trends, is another outstanding feature of Samplemodeling Solo & Ensemble Strings, adding further realism.
Proprietary instrument body IRs, innovative techniques for sample modulation and advanced artificial intelligence MIDI processing are used for real time construction of all articulations and morphing across dynamics, vibrato, legato, portamento, cross-string, portato, trills, tremolo, staccato, pizzicato, col legno, harmonics and so forth. The purpose of the model is to minimize the differences between the real phrases and those played by the virtual instruments. The Strings engine is structured according to an adaptive model, based on the performance "fingerprints" of the real instruments. All samples are unlooped, and have a minimum duration of about 10 sec. The base material of the instruments consists of 5 GB of samples, chromatically performed by professional string players over a very wide dynamic range.
The package includes four solo instruments, namely Violin, Viola, Cello and Double Bass, and five ensembles, Violins I & II, Violas, Cellos and Double Basses. The result are playable, very expressive virtual instruments retaining the rich, full sound of real strings. The programming moves further away from conventional libraries, by exploiting physically-oriented modulation of the recorded sound. New, patent pending technology allows to vary the perceived size of the ensemble in a continuous manner. Specially devised "early reflections" impulse responses add a virtual space to the anechoic sound, greatly contributing to realism. Our proprietary "Harmonic Alignment" yields continuous transitions across virtually infinite dynamics. Multi-microphone anechoic recording allows to capture the original timbre of the instruments, along with their radiation pattern. Solo & Ensemble Strings further expand Samplemodeling™ technologies.
