Spitfire Audio BML Sable Vol.2 KONTAKT ESD-DYNAMiCS [oddsox]

After the delights of enormous string libraries, providing broad brush stroke approaches to writing, which have characterised recent film, gaming and TV music to some extent, Spitfire are at last proud to present a new set of brushes. The finest of sable brushes if you will, to provide you with the tools you need to write detailed and focussed string parts that have a personality and style that represents your personality, that expresses your creative will and provides you with fresh pastures of experimentation.

Part of a new, long-term project entitled THE BRITISH MODULAR LIBRARY providing composers with the ability to add fine detail, musical expression, beauty and focus to their work. To write music that musicians love to play and to get the most out of smaller ensembles and the wealth of timbral colour and character they can add to any project. After many years of development experience Spitfire will present this library with a user interface and set of features unprecedented in any library to date. With 7 mic positions, recorded at 96k through vintage valve and ribbon mics to tape through Neve premaps and Prism convertors, and presented at 48k, 24bit in Kontakt format, and additionally three extremely useful ‘mixed’ versions presented in Stereo and 5.1 Surround.

Sable is presented in modular volumes and consists of the finest players London has to offer, playing in the hall at Air Studios which is regarded as one of the greatest scoring stages in the world.

The Sable band is 4 x 1st Violins, 3 x 2nd Violins (totally different players seated in their correct positions), 3 x Violas, 3 x Cellos and 3 x Contrabasses.

SABLE 2 Will compliment Sable 1's "essential articulations" for the 1st violins and cellos, with a similar selection of "essential articulations" for 2nd violins, violas and basses. We can't ignore the 2nd violins, it's usually just suggested you duplicate a 1st violin patch. We don't like that, and what's more we record everything in-situ so it would leave a massive hole in our panning spectrum. So this slightly smaller section (a3 to give you even more nuanced control) v2s are a complimentary set of totally different players, playing totally different instruments in a different seating position, alongside the violas and further along the basses. A deep and detailed module that will provide you with everything you need to create the most amazing string parts. We feel that this module is a game-changer, the first time such a powerful tool can operate within your palette that doesn't behave like a steam train of strings ploughing through your compositions obliterating everything in it's path. With an Albion as a base unit, these sable brushes bring everything into sharp focus. But as a complete set, these will be a thing to behold. We hope sampled section strings will never sound the same again and usher in a new era of sophisticated and diverse string writing.
