PACIFIC – SOLO STRINGS
The solo strings from ‘PACIFIC – Classical Symphonic Orchestra‘
Pacific – Solo Strings consists of a solo violin and solo cello with core articulations recorded in standard 1st-chair positions. The library was created as an addendum to Pacific – Ensemble Strings and thus recorded in the same space as the rest of the Pacific orchestral project, allowing blending with the rest of the sections. There was also the addition of a new mic position on this release: the section mic which is somewhere between the far/AB and close but strongly biasing towards close.
There are some familiar articulations in this library like the marcatos which were sampled in the same way as the marcatos on Pacific – Ensemble Strings. As well as the shorts which were rep-sampled as usual. There’s also a new articulation – motion tremolos – which was conceptualized on Voyage sessions. It’s technically measured but loosely played and super fast and it allows a bit more in the way of back and forth medium-to-fast lines, almost interval-esque without being a legato patch specifically. It has (limited) RR functionality.
Pricing: intro period aims to run around 3-4 months to give you time to evaluate, etc. $79 loyalty intro, $149 intro, $249 full. Free for those who ordered Pacific – Ensemble Strings during its intro period. For more details, please check out the Pricing/Loyalty tab.
