Sonokinetic – Ostinato Strings: The Future of Orchestral Chord Performance
Break free from the limitations of traditional orchestral phrase libraries with Ostinato Strings. Developed from the ground up, this library uses an entirely new approach: instead of relying solely on pre-recorded, one-shot phrases, separate intervals for various rhythmic building blocks are captured and then combined via an intelligent script to form complete chords. With this innovative process, you can now play chords in five distinct voicings and up to four inversions (the fourth available only for 7th chords), offering a depth of harmonic variation that was previously unattainable.
Key Innovations & Features:
Advanced Chord Construction:
- Intelligent Phrase Assembly: Separate interval recordings are seamlessly merged to create chords, delivering multiple voicings and inversions.
- Expanded Harmonic Range: Capable of playing 12 chord types—including non-traditional structures like diminished, half-diminished, and augmented chords—for a truly expressive sound palette.
Dynamic Performance Controls:
- Intuitive Keyswitch System: Use a minimal set of keyswitches (with white keys selecting articulation groups and black keys choosing specific articulations) to change playing styles on the fly.
- Mute and Mod Wheel Integration: Easily mute or solo individual phrase layers, while the mod wheel dynamically controls volume and expression to add natural nuance.
- Flexible Playback Options: Features such as sample offset, speed control, and intelligent phrase continuation ensure your chords transition smoothly in time with your project’s tempo.
Seamless MIDI Integration & Mapping:
- Drag-and-Drop MIDI Export: Quickly extract MIDI data from the score view to further edit or double the performance in your DAW.
- Advanced Mapping Capabilities: Customize articulation switching using MIDI CCs, key velocity, or pitch bend to tailor the instrument perfectly to your workflow.
Professional-Quality Sampling:
- Immersive Sound Capture: Recorded with 52 string players across 4 microphone positions (Close, Decca Tree, Wide, Balcony) plus a proprietary stereo “Tutti” mix for Lite patches, ensuring every nuance is faithfully reproduced.
- High-Fidelity Audio: Delivered in 44.1kHz/24-bit NCW format for pristine, detailed sound.
