The 12VLN patches are very useful for creating unison (1 part) string lines that sound like an overdubbed 6 violin section. When used for 2-part harmonies or octaves these patches can be used to replicate the sound of an overdubbed 6 violin section (i.e., a faux 12 violin section), which was a very common recording technique used on many Motown recording sessions. The 6VLN patches are great for recording unison (1 part) lines that emulate the sound of a true 6 violin section, which was very commonly used in many old Soul recordings. The 2VLN patches take up a lot less sonic space in the mix, and also have the advantage of sounding like the smaller types of string sections used on a lot of old Soul and R&B records, which didn't have the time or budget to record a larger section.

Even if played in 3-part harmony, these patches sound like a 6 piece section, rather than a full orchestral string section. The 2VLN patches are very useful for creating the sound of smaller string sections. Using the tracks we recorded in this space, we then created three types of sections: Rather than record the violins in a magnificent concert hall or some other large and resonant recording space, we recorded our players in a funky old studio with a smaller, less-reverberant room that had characteristics similar to the rooms used to record classic Soul and R&B records. To capture a true vintage string sound, we used close mics, room mics, and string section positioning based on actual session notes from old Motown and Philly Soul recording sessions. Instead, we tried to capture the way string sections sounded back in the '60s and '70s including the decidedly not classical playing style and minor imperfections that added character to those sections and made them sound so good.ДЇor Vintage Strings we recorded a 6 piece violin section using vintage Neuman U-87 mics and Royer ribbon mics run through a great sounding SSL board.

And having the unique ability to quickly produce professional sounding recordings of string ensembles has helped many artists and producers around the world enter into the world of production music. The Native Instruments Action Strings sample library is intended to be used for cinematic and emotionally intense projects.

But you can also dig in a little deeper and begin tweaking these presets, or making your own new ones to generate truly unique and original sequences, progressions and arrangements. There are many pre-made articulation and phrase presets for each instrument made easily accessible via the main interface windows. There have been a lot of mixed reviews and surrounding this style of sample library that NI seems to be focused on right now, but much of it is actually misunderstanding how the programming tools work and what they are actually capable of.

There are many, many, many sample libraries showcasing strings available nowadays, but there are a few things that really set the newly released Native Instruments Action Strings for Kontakt. This is a brilliant hour-long in-depth overview of the new Native Instruments Action Strings sample library for Kontakt.
