This library offers a beautiful collection of solo strings, performed by the “first chair” - also known as the section leader. Recorded at Teldex Studios, with the same recording setup and seating arrangement as Berlin Strings, the First Chairs library offers 5 beautiful solo string instruments for your compositions, performed by the best virtuoso musicians Berlin has to offer. This library also works as the perfect complement to the main Berlin Strings library, perfect for any solo passages within a piece, or as an additional layer combined with the main ensemble to provide more detail and movement.
Berlin Strings First Chairs StaffPad Edition brings the main Decca Tree recording perspective and condenses the sheer size of this sampling endeavour down into the most manageable of all forms: a single instrument staff per instrument that responds intelligently and dynamically to your notation. Legato and portamento intervals are handled automatically, and adjusted depending on playing speed and other factors. The short notes feature a huge number of repetition samples to ensure that even within the most fierce of ostinatos, you never perceivably recognise the same sample twice. Fast fun passages are automatically blurred for more realism. Even the vibrato adjusts automatically based on note-length and dynamic intensity. This is truly the pinnacle of orchestral sampling, and brought to life in a new and easy-to-use way within StaffPad.
Berlin Strings StaffPad Edition contains content curated and derived from Orchestral Tools’ flagship Berlin Strings First Chairs (available for Native Instruments Kontakt direct from the developer’s website), utilising the main Decca Tree recording perspective.
Muse Sounds Edition libraries are exclusive versions of the industry’s leading sample libraries; totally reprogrammed, redesigned and optimised for the unique playback engine found in MuseScore Studio and StaffPAd. These editions typically contain a single mixed mic position and a curated selection of articulations which work best with notation playback. Instruments that contain true legato or portamento transitions have been redesigned to take advantage of Muse Sounds totally bespoke legato engine, capable of creating realistic and smooth connected musical lines. Additionally, Muse Sounds Edition libraries are carefully optimised using the latest advancements in storage compression to avoid maxing out your device’s storage. To ensure a consistent and seamless experience within the app, there is no complex setup or specific UI for each library - just create the corresponding instrument staff within your score (or swap existing staffs in your score) and enjoy some of the best notation playback ever created.
Muse Sounds Editions are produced in partnership with the respective sample library developers.
