We recorded one of the greatest soloists alive today. The principal players of the BBC and other orchestras. Ultra Deep-Sampled with 88 articulations ranging from true polyphonic legato to a wealth of short-note options, dozens of velocity-based arcs, twelve different Ostinatos, and performance-based articulations that allow the libraries to seamlessly perform with each other. The Studio Quartet Series marks countless hours of critical recording and capturing of essential musical performances, which through proprietary post-production have been carefully curated and crafted into fully playable solo instruments. Featuring only the best in musicianship, this Series has all the intricacy and passion you would expect, capable of dynamic and moving performances, through to authentically virtuosic playing. Recorded in a controlled studio environment at Scotland’s Premiere Recording Studio – Gorbals Sound, these instruments were captured in incredible detail and without compromise utilizing two dual-microphone techniques. This combined method allows you to freely blend between a direct signal and a more spacious and ambient position, enabling you to control the positioning and distance of the instruments accurately. A stand out feature of The Studio Quartet Series is its extensive collection of articulations. Each instrument covers eighty-eight independently captured, multi-dynamic, and authentically sounding articulations, giving you access to all the tools you need to create a composition that is capable of going beyond realism. Organized into six separate categories, each of the included sound-sets offers a range of features and playing styles all easily accessible from the in-built browser system. Choose from a variety of tempo-synchronized Measured sequences, a never before captured collection of extensive Short note articulations, or choose from dozens of flowing Dynamic Bowings, each offering different bow positionings, intensities, bow lengths, and repetitions. All available through our advanced user-interface, allowing you to load or unload the articulations you need for your current project. The Studio Quartet Series features five individually recorded Legato articulations enabling you to play in a variety of styles, speeds, and with and without a mute in place ( Con Sordino.) The naturally captured playing styles include a Slurred (Fingered) Legato, a Detaché (Bow Change) Legato, A Portamento Legato, A Slurred Con Sordino Legato, and a Run Based Legato for more nimble passages. Each of the main performance based Legatos also features original and musical coloration and dynamic changes, ensuring the pure and lifelike nature of the live performance can be accurately preserved.
