Spitfire Audio Appassionata Strings

String Library (Download)

• Innovative string library with "Impulse Legato" technology for realistic, expressive melodies
• Designed for flowing, emotional lines with perfect vibrato balance and natural rebowing
• Inspired by classic film music aesthetics such as John Williams and Thomas Newman
• Medium-sized ensemble with 30 top London musicians: eight violins I, six violins II, six violas, six cellos, four basses, recorded in the legendary Lyndhurst Hall, AIR Studios, with Neve Montserrat preamps and Studer 2" tape for analogue warmth.
• Extensive legato types: Combo (slurred, bowed, sul I), slurred separately, sustain, glancing attack and hairpins (short, medium, rebow)
• Sul I technique exclusively for violins and cellos for particularly intense expressiveness
• Up to five dynamic layers (pp to ff) and four round-robin impulse attacks for realistic articulations
• Velocity-controlled switching between legato types for intuitive performance
• Several hairpin variations for dynamic crescendos and diminuendos
• 11 professional signals with seven microphone positions: Close, Tree, Ambient, Outrigger, Close Ribbon, Stereo Room, Mids
• Four curated mixes for different sound aesthetics, from intimate to epic
• Compatible with the free Spitfire Audio plugin and NKS
