Neo Strings is our flagship collection of contemporary solo strings. A library of 24 articulations for each instrument, ranging from simple articulations complemented by beautiful true legato to advanced and experimental performance techniques that are unique to this collection and have never been sampled before. And it’s all thanks to our innovative thresholding functionality, creating a workflow so smooth and natural that you’ll feel like you’re holding a real tool in your hands. A modern sound filled with character and performance.
