Shadow Strings KONTAKT

OSHiE | 30 May 2024 | 2.21 GB

Welcome to Shadow Strings, a darker side of the cello that can add suspense, mystery, and a sense of uniqueness to any of your compositions. Created by cello player and professional virtual instrument maker Ben Osterhouse (Osterhouse Sounds), this ground-breaking Kontakt sample library pushes the boundaries of traditional cello sounds to offer a rich tapestry of unconventional textures and effects. When recording sample libraries, you want to capture the best sounds from an instrument. You try to have clean starts and stops, an expressive tone, and balanced dynamics across every sample. With all this in mind, it can be difficult to keep a spontaneous, fresh feel to the samples. It can turn into a chore. The goal during planning and development this library was to avoid as much chore-like recording. Everything is played with abandon, then heavily curated and edited later to highlight the best moments.

Soaring strings with “instant ageing”

String sounds from the dusty past • Unique single-dial “Vintage” control for simple but powerful timewarping • Combined acoustic string section and electric string synth for a wide sound palette • Vintage “Icon” reverb to add gloss and shimmer • Clean, soaring strings or crusty, erratic warbles… you choose!, Strings have a unique ability to bring warmth and richness to music: there’s something about dozens of individual players melding into one sweeping soundscape that just seems to lift the hearts of the listeners. Of course, not every rock star is in the position to hire the London Philharmonic to score their album; hence the rise of the string synth – which replaces dozens of individual players with dozens of detuned oscillators to approximate the same richness of result. String synths are one of our favourite musical machines – and Vintage Strings is a homage to them.
