STRINGPOOL has 2.5GB of beautifully played clean and brutally textured violin bowing with BPM synced modwheel speed control – play a note and move the modwheel to bow faster or slower, push down on your keyboard for aftertouch controlled volume swelling.
The design process of STRINGPOOL meant forcing virtuoso violinist Sophia Bartlette into many painful days of tortuous sampling (nobody really enjoys sampling – don’t ever let them make you think otherwise). While they quietly slurped coffee Sophia teased hours of beautifully lyrical long bowed single notes from her 200-year instrument. For every note, four different bowing speeds with a hint of vibrato.
From these hours of recordings, they created hundreds of seamless, clean single note loops and an alternative set of ‘treated’ samples mangled through tape, valves and Sound Dust malarky.
Then it was all poured into a complex Kontakt engine with a simple interface and wealth of expressive possibilities.
The true joy of STRINGPOOL is that you can morph in realtime through the BPM synced bowing tempo divisions with the modwheel (or CC1) while also using your keyboard aftertouch (or a CC of your choice) for volume expression to create realistically human violining sounds. Also every control can be automated in your DAW or midi learned for unrealistically human violining sounds.
STRINGPOOL may never sound ‘quite’ as good as Sophia in full flow – but for MUCH less pain you can get a little of her magic and a little bit of Sound Dust magic on your tracks.
Whats Inside ?

Waveform section
– Modwheel hardwired to bowing speed control (or use CC1) – tempo synced
– Realtime waveform display
– Master volume control – cc map-able (handy instead of aftertouch for expression)
– Velocity to volume control
– Pitch bend depth – from 1 semitone to 12
– Aftertouch to voulme control – for handy expression control
– Volume attack, decay, sustain and release
– Clean or Treated sample set selection
– Note lock control – spreads last played note across whole keyboard for crazy old school sampling.
– Trem Chaos – randomises tremolo lfo shape (but still tempo synced)
– Legato – sets sample set to legato mode – new note play continues from last note position
– Precise readout of XY pad control values
– Convolution impulse select – 80 custom made IRs – 8 categories- 10 impulses per category
XY pad
– Tape saturation + distortion, chorus or low and high pass filter – depending on .nki
– Tremolo – frequency (tempo synced) X – depth Y
– Convolution – amount dry X – amount wet Y
– Solid G equaliser – 1 band = 600 hz to 7 khz- frequency X – amount Y
– Midi learn triangles – for external controllers to learn XY pucks
– Stereo width control – from mono to w i d e
– On/off and reset controls per effect (click effect icon)
STRINGPOOL具有2.5GB精美演奏的干净且残酷质感的小提琴弓，并具有BPM同步的调速器速度控制-弹奏音符并移动调速器以更快或更慢地弯曲，向下推键盘以进行触后控制，以控制音量。
STRINGPOOL的设计过程意味着迫使演奏家小提琴家索菲娅·巴特莱特(Sophia Bartlette)陷入痛苦的曲折采样时代(没有人真正喜欢采样-永远不要让他们让您以其他方式思考)。当他们静静地喝咖啡时，索菲娅从她200年的乐器中取笑了数小时精美抒情的长弓单音。对于每个音符，四种不同的弓弦速度带有颤音的提示。
从这些小时的录音中，他们创建了数百个无缝，整洁的单音符循环，以及另一组经过处理的样本，这些样本通过胶带，阀门和Sound Dust黑檀木混合在一起。
然后，它们全部注入具有简单界面和丰富表达可能性的复杂Kontakt引擎中。
STRINGPOOL的真正乐趣在于，您可以通过与Modwheel(或CC1)同步的BPM鞠躬节奏节拍来实时变形，同时还可以使用键盘触后音(或您选择的CC)进行音量表达，以创建逼真的逼真的人声。同样，您可以在DAW或Midi中自动学习每个控件，以获得不切实际的人为破坏声音。
STRINGPOOL听起来可能永远不会像Sophia那样“听上去”那么好-但要少得多的痛苦，您可以在轨道上得到一点她的魔力和一点Sound Dust魔力。
