THE SOUND OF STUDIO STRINGS
The sound of SESSION STRINGS PRO is close, detailed and intimate — an essential alternative to orchestral strings. Meticulously sampled and designed to sit well in the mix, each of the four ensembles consists of five ins- trument groups: full ensemble, four violins, three violas, two cellos and two basses. Play full ensembles, mapped across the keyboard, or individual instrument groups.
Multiple velocity layers and 29 articulations provide a wide expressive range. With smooth looping, beautifully fluid transitions and up to four round robin samples per note, SESSION STRINGS PRO delivers a strikingly natural sound. What’s more, an additional set of presets provides the glamorous sound of vintage soul and disco.

PLAY INSTRUMENTS, NOT LIBRARIES
The defining quality of this instrument is musical flow. Designed by musicians for musicians, SESSION STRINGS PRO provides tailored workflows for performance and production, supporting the creative process, rather than getting in the way.
You can play chords and monophonic lines at the same time, and all 29 articulations are available in a single interface. And for instant rhythm, the Animator transforms the chords you play into lively rhythmical phrases.
