Spitfire Audio, purveyors of the finest virtual instruments from the finest musical samples in the world, is proud to announce availability of SPITFIRE CHAMBER STRINGS — an encyclopaedic super-deep sampled set of rationalised and refreshed strings articulations and techniques taken from recordings of 16 of the finest strings players playing the finest instruments via the finest signal path at Lyndhurst Hall within London’s legendary Air Studios, served up as the company’s first sample-based virtual instrument for Native Instruments’ industry-standard KONTAKT PLAYER platform to ship with NKS® (NATIVE KONTROL STANDARD), an extended plug-in format allowing advanced integration with NI’s KONTROL keyboard controllers — as of July 21…

For many musicians, the word chamber can conjure up mental images of white wigs and harpsichords; however, in modern vernacular it simply describes a group of instruments that is smaller than a symphony orchestra — anything from a quartet to 40-odd players. Where strings are concerned it is generally taken to mean a medium-sized ensemble encompassing five sections — 1st violins, 2nd violins, violas, cellos, and basses. As such, SPITFIRE CHAMBER STRINGS features 16 of London’s top string players — four 1st VIOLINS, three 2nd VIOLINS, three VIOLAS, three CELLOS, and three BASSES, all super-deep sampled with multiple dynamic layers and round robins, plus over 244 articulations, including 38 SHORTS, 53 LONGS, 19 FX, 39 TRILLS AND TREMS, and 45 extraordinary LEGATO patches programmed by UK composer Andrew Blaney — beautifully recorded in situ at Lyndhurst Hall within London’s legendary Air Studios at 96k via a meticulously-maintained Studer two-inch tape machine using a stunning selection of valve and ribbon mics, Neve ‘AIR Montserrat’ preamps, and a Neve 88R large-scale console. Simply speaking, it sounds superb! Satisfaction ‘out of the box’ is further guaranteed thanks to a comprehensive selection of articulations and techniques presented in an ENSEMBLES format for sketching and composing while three essential and diverse-sounding mic positions — C(lose), T(ree), and A(mbient) — allow SPITFIRE CHAMBER STRINGS to be used with flexibility… from expansive Hollywood to tight pop, it’s all there for the taking!
