Orchestral Tools Orchestral Strings Run v.2.2 KONTAKT

We are very happy to release OSR 2. We needed some "extra" time for additional recording-sessions with the orchestra to bring some of our visions into OSR 2. The update will not include additional basic-runs, because OSR has a huge amount of pre-recorded runs. We decided to come up with some improvements for more flexibility and some new artics. We've recorded fast legato-performances for our new playable runs patches for violins+violas and celli+basses. We divided the musicians into two groups of players. A multiscript will make natural tuning- and timing-discrepancies possible. But you've control over all of these things.

For this new runs-patch (legato-performances up to the fifth) we have recorded everything twice for repetitions and the multiscript will make 4 roundrobins possible. The cool thing is, that the second group of these divided section will have a slightly, randomized delay.

We worked pretty much on our RUNS BUILDER concept. RUNS BUILDER 2 will now allow additional scales like whole tone or octatonic and of course chromatic-options. For this we have also recorded additional samples.

There are also some new extras like the new recorded sustains xfade instruments, marcatos or our new tempo-synced measured short tremolos (doubles and triples).

• The industry´s first RUNS BUILDER for Violins and Cellos+Basses.(Create your individual runs out of thousands of tempo-synced runs-fragments!)

• Tempo-synced looped ostinatos
• Short-Trills Patch (sfz Trills and measured tempo-synced Trills (HS/WS))
• Big soundig basic articulations (sustain-patches, staccatos with repetitions)
• More than 50 professional musicians were involved

New since OSR 2:

• RUNS BUILDER 2.0: Special scales like whole tone, octatonic and chromatic scales are now possible! And every slot has its own tempo-mode slider, a fine-adjustments-slider and the possibility to make triplets out of 16th based figures.
• New playable runs patches: complete new recorded samples and two divided groups of musicians per patch will make natural tuning and TIMING discrepancies possible for never reached realism. This patch is available for Violins+Violas and Celli+Basses. These patches has now longer end-notes then our Runs Transitions Patch 1 (which is based on real legato sampled staccatos.
• Measured Short Tremolos: As an addition to our short trills patch, we´ve recorded tempo-synced measured short tremolos (doubles and triples) everything sampled with repetitions! This patch is also available for Celli+Basses.
• Marcatos for Violins+Violas and Celli+Basses
• New sustain-patches with more velocity layers and xfade scripts
