Neocymatics releases "Simulation Strings" for Kontakt

Neocymatics has released Simulation Strings, an ensemble & solo string library for Kontakt 5 that is designed to breath a scientific approach into the art of sampling, allowing the user to control every possible aspect of each individual instrument in the Ensemble.

Features:

• A palette of 30 articulations, which can be mixed & matched between the players.
• A legato engine that continuously analyzes your performance and seamlessly morphs between adaptive Portamento, Slur, Accented Legato Or Re-bow.
• Auto-Articulation system which decides the best articulation choice, based on playing speed, velocity and dynamics.
• Phase-aligned dynamics, ranging from pp to ff
• Intelligent timing, tuning & other performance-oriented humanization algorithms that can be tweaked on the fly.
• Vibrato control (Speed & Intensity) for each individual player.
• Auto-Divisi plus the ability to record each instrument separately.
• True stereo reverberation engine with 3D Placement of each instrument inside the stereo panorama.
• Big selection of spaces, ranging from small studio rooms to huge concert halls.
• 360 Tone profiles for coloring each section's sound that modify various characteristics of the sound (like sharpening/blurring the transients, dampening the bow noise or increasing the sound homogeny among each section). 40 of these profiles are sordino emulations.
• Manage tone and bow noise levels separately, through a dedicated mixer console.
• Microtuning functionality: choose from a big selection of Byzantine and Middle Eastern scales & maqams or build your own custom tunings.
