The “Sound” of Aria LSS Solo Strings

Aria Sounds’ “LSS Solo Strings Bundle” were sampled in a large beautiful concert hall, with many microphones, making up four main, mixable mic perspectives.

Each instrument has four mic positions – Close mono, Close pair, Mid and Far, with a great diversity from close clear and dry to a full blown reverb-y room sound.

This unique recording technique means that he difference in perspectives is huge, you can create sounds ranging from a very dry and up close sound, to a singing, naturally reverberated distant violin – as well as many degrees between the two.

The Viola (4.4GB)

Full list of available articulations:

  • Slur Legato Slurred legato intervals
  • Bowed Legato – Legato with bow changes at the intervals
  • Portamento Legato – Legato with slides/portamento at the intervals
  • Soft Release Normal note releases with a smooth removal of the bow from the string
  • Hard Releases – Hard releases where the player crescendos and aggressively lifts the bow from the string
  • Staccato – Staccato articulation with 24 variations per note (three layers of 8RR)
  • Whole Tone Trills

Three legato modes for each instrument!

Three legato modes were sampled – slurred, bowed and portamento, and these are easily switchable during use via keyswitches.

One exceptionally useful feature, which even now is rarely seen in solo string libraries, is the ability to change bow on the same note. Simply hold the note you want to change bow on, and press the low G keyswitch.

Aria have tailored the settings, fade curves and envelopes of the legato in each of these instruments meticulously so each articulation has it’s own specially tweaked setting for a great sound!

  • Whole Tone Trills

Staccatos and whole-tone trills!

Staccato and whole tone trills are also included, with the staccatos having 24 variations per note so as to never sound repetitive – also switchable via keyswitch.

The Double Bass (4GB)

Full list of available articulations:

  • Slur Legato Slurred legato intervals
  • Bowed Legato – Legato with bow changes at the intervals
  • Portamento Legato – Legato with slides/portamento at the intervals
  • Soft Release Normal note releases with a smooth removal of the bow from the string

Unique release modes!

Another feature included is the ability to alter the release sound when the final note is played and released.

A soft release is a normal removal of the bow from the string, but through keyswitching, you can also select hard release, which triggers a hard release. This is the sound of a player ending the note with a sharp crescendo and quick accented lift of the bow.
