The Strings You’ve Always Dreamed Of
LCO Producer Strings puts you in the conductor’s chair and challenges you to break the rules. This is a modern string library with a twist – where top musicians, bold orchestrations, and expert sound design come together. Created with pop, alternative, hip-hop, and experimental projects in mind, this library isn’t about imitation, but about self-expression. No expensive sessions to organize. No orchestral expertise required. Just incredible-sounding strings, ready for you to manipulate.
Ready for Your Projects :
Whether you’re looking for traditional string layers or something more experimental, this carefully curated library is ready for any project. Film scores, radio hits, rap anthems, electronic soundscapes – the only limit is your imagination.
Four layers. Endless textures :
LCO Producer Strings is powered by a flexible four-layer engine, allowing you to layer violins, violas, cellos, and synthesizers into vibrant, kaleidoscopic textures. Layers can be filtered by instrument type and performance technique. Each layer is easily customized with dedicated volume, tuning, and spatial controls, or you can jump directly to presets to create ready-to-play arrangements.
Meet the London Contemporary Orchestra :
The London Contemporary Orchestra is a collective of innovative musicians redefining the orchestra. Renowned for their fearless and innovative approach, the LCO has created scores for award-winning films (Deadpool and Wolverine) and video games (Call of Duty), and collaborated with such distinguished artists as Radiohead, Frank Ocean and The Weeknd, Taylor Swift, Justice, and Foals, blurring the boundaries between classical, electronic, and experimental music in performances that are simultaneously raw and refined.
Creative Performance Techniques :
From clustered flourishes and harmonic ripples to percussive pizzicatos, the layers showcase both classical and creative performance techniques. Each was designed to be playable, cinematic, and instantly applicable across genres, giving the tracks a unique voice and emotional contour. All sounds were recorded at London’s iconic RAK Studios in collaboration with renowned engineer Fiona Cruickshank.
Hybrid Sound Design :
Explore the beauty of raw sounds or blend them with synthetic sources to create vibrant textures. Layer organic bowed strings over evolving synth pads and granular textures for hybrid timbres. Built-in effects and modulation routing allow you to channel signals into rich shimmer, abrupt saturation, or otherworldly spectral movement, all while maintaining musicality and ready for mixing.
Even better with Kontrol keyboards :
Fully optimized for Kontakt 8 and NKS, LCO Producer Strings seamlessly integrates with Kontrol keyboards, providing convenient access to macros, snapshots, and performance controls. Intelligent preset search and tactile parameter mapping allow you to quickly find and play sounds, while deep hardware integration provides real-time control of every layer.
