Description : Strings
Combining five meticulously captured string sections with a wide array of articulations and exceptional dynamic range, Berlin Strings has earned its reputation as the definitive orchestral strings collection. Mid-sized ensembles provide exceptional detail and definition, enhanced with multiple legato modes, tempo-synced runs, and even a choice of attack options for your long notes.
Recorded on the Teldex Scoring Stage in traditional seating positions, the sound is natural, balanced, and blends perfectly with other Berlin Series collections.
Berlin Strings is the gold standard for detailed and true-to-life string composition.
