“Angel Strings Vol.2” features a playing style often heard in orchestral music,  but never before featured in a sample library. The “flurries” refer to specially orchestrated sequences of notes played in quick succession by each player, creating a beautiful and lush string sound. This library gives the composer access to that once elusive texture and the ability to customize it to their music.

Auddict’s libraries have already been used on high profile scores for motion picture and video games, with users including Yasunori Mitsuda, Klayton (Celldweller) and Ronald Bell (Kool & the Gang).

An Introduction To The Performance Concepts Behind “Angel Strings Vol.2”

The Sound Of A Real String Orchestra

The “flurries” refer to specially orchestrated sequences of notes played in quick succession by each player, creating a beautiful and lush string sound, which – due to the subtle spontaneity of the individual players can really create the feeling of a real orchestra playing.

We recommend watching the videos and listening to the demos as this is best demonstrated with music rather than words!

The flurries were orchestrated, recorded and programmed/mapped very carefully so that they can be performed, layered in different combinations and blend with other instruments smoothly.

All of this material can be played in all 12 keys, so you’re spoiled for choice. Taken as a whole, the phrases provide instant textural mobility, a swirling, energised harmonic backdrop and a live performance vibe which could add zest to an arrangement if used carefully.

The techniques heard in this library are regularly written into orchestral music, whether it be modern film scores or romantic symphonies; however they are not sounds you can simulate even remotely with per-note sample libraries; they require specific orchestration and recording dedicated specially to these techniques, and Auddict have done just that!

1 Kontakt Patch – Never Before Sampled Articulations & Techniques

This instrument is organised into five main articulations, each one having an almost keyboard-wide palette of sounds to choose from.

Articulation List

  • Ionian Flurries 3/5’s
  • Aeolian Flurries 3/5’s
  • Ionian Flurries + Bar
  • Aeolian Flurries + Bar
  • Fifths and Unis

The different articulation names refer simply to major and minor tonalities, as well as the notes used/techniques included.

“Bar” stands for bariolage, which is a string technique where players quickly sweep the bow up and down the different strings to create quick arpeggios.

Ionian can simply be thought of as “major” and Aeolian as “minor”, so depending on whether your music/chord is major or minor, you’d know which articulations to use. Fifths and unis are just that, and can be used in any tonality!.

There is a lot to be explored in this library. Different articulations and flurries can even be used to add interesting harmonic content to your music, beyond the standard root-position chords, but we will leave this up to you; the composer!

What People Think About 65% off “Angel Strings Vol.2” by Auddict

  • "It really is a tremendous time to be a composer with libraries like Flurries. It was near impossible with conventional samples to create the frenetic texture a string section can achieve. You could spend an hour by randomizing the rate at which any section plays the first five notes of a scale with traditional long and short samples and the result would be underwhelming. This library gives the composer access to that once elusive texture and the ability to customize it to their pieces."
