Spitfire Audio Soft String Textures (Digital product)

Soft String Textures is the ultimate embodiment of the original Soft String Spurs concept by Dan Keen, featuring bespoke performances by three of his all-time favourite string players: Ellie Consta (violin), Georgie Davis (viola), and Meera Raja (cello). This collaboration captures intimate, detailed, and emotive string textures that bring a unique character and warmth to your compositions.

Recorded in Spitfire Audio's Studio B with an 8-microphone setup at 96kHz, each player was captured solo to allow precise control and articulation. The library offers a rich palette of soft, expressive string sounds, including staggered tremolos, harmonic whistles, and sporadic trills, all carefully workshopped to create a deeply musical experience.

Key Features:

• Solo violin, viola, and cello performances
• Five fundamental articulations plus ten unique "warp" presets that add hybrid, textured effects
• Control over dynamics, expression, reverb, attack, release, and warp FX
• Multiple microphone positions: close, room, and a bespoke Dan Keen mix
• Perfect for film scoring, ambient music, and emotionally rich compositions

Soft String Textures offers a fresh, intimate, and evocative approach to string libraries, ideal for composers seeking something beyond traditional orchestral sounds. Compatible with Native Instruments Kontakt Player, Kontakt, and NKS.
