What's new

Sonokinetic Orchestral Strings Released!

Great memory Fred :thumbsup: I think you covered everything... there are also pages for runs and phrases .

I'm curious to know more about the dynamic articulations, if it's going to be like 8dio polyphonic arcs, where we can play a melody or chord progression and it will follow the cresc-dim arc naturally without re-triggering a new crescendo? My question to @Sonokinetic BV got buried by other messages.
I don't know about the polyphonic Arc, but what you describe is pretty much how our dynamics work.
It goes through all the velocity layers in different ways, and in the case of the Sfz articulation it also adds something at the start for realism. The dynamics are synced to tempo this way without having to use TMpro, which helps with efficiency.
We are looking into adding options in case you do want the dynamic to happen for each note individually, but at the moment notes you add in will join the movement.
The way it works now is that the modwheel position at the start of your triggering note will be the ceiling of the dynamic movement, and moving the mod wheel at any point will not affect anything until you catch the current point of the movement, to avoid sudden jumps.

This is fantastic and as far as I'm aware, you are the only two devs to offer such a thing.

at the moment notes you add in will join the movement.
Dynamic patches in other libraries are very limited. Usually if I play a chord (cresc-dim) and decide to add a new note in the middle of the arc, it starts a new dynamic movement for that note, instead of joining the movement. So awesome that you are doing the way you are doing it :thumbsup:

Yep was gonna mention TMpro, glad you found another way.

Thanks sir!

Runs

Phrases
 
Ok me excited, advanced editable phrases and runs with full sampled strings all recorded in the same hall as past libraries. I like the direction Sono is going. Can you imagine opening up Indie as an example and being able to edit the beautiful phrases. Now I know this wont be possible for Indie but If in the future if we can have Editable Phrases for their new libraries wow! Sonokinetic please feel free to straighten me out on this if I am wrong.

@Sonokinetic BV ,

Hi,

Are you still months away from releasing this library ?

or do you think that a July release is possible/realistic ?

Thanks.
It's not going to be July, because after 18 months of near lockdown, we collectively decided our families needed a bit of time while the weather is still kind of good (here in the UK). So we are having a short break and will return fully refreshed for the final buff

Totally agree with this, after the year we have had, the most important thing to do is spend time with those you love ♥️
