This includes 2 independent Solo Double Basses, 2 Double Basses (Mixed), Solo Cello, 2 Celli, 3 Celli (Mixed), Solo Viola, 2 Violas, 3 Violas (Mixed), Solo Violin, 2 Violins A, 2 Violins B, 3 Violins A (Mixed), 3 Violins B (Mixed), 4 Violins (Mixed), 5 Violins (Mixed).In total allowing you 256 string size combinations.

Each instrument also has its own fully capable mixer with functions such as Solo, Mute, Output Routing, Volume and Panning all featured alongside our more advanced offerings, affording you the luxury to change the number of players (either from true recordings or mixed/overdubs) as well as the new Distance Control which seamlessly blends between an upfront, direct and dry signal to a wider and more spacious signal.

8Dio Intimate Studio Strings gives you direct access to dozens of advanced and unique playing styles and articulations, full host tempo sync (relevant articulations only), the ability to control your section size, the ability to control each section’s volume, routing, panning, and even distance/perspective in the stereo field. All in one streamlined and refined package. Studio Intimate Strings is the start of a new journey and one we hope you all join us on.

1.3 Update: Whats’s New?
We have been listening to the community and have now updated our critically acclaimed Intimate Studio Strings based on your feedback, with a variety of enhancements to the internal mapping along with other general improvements. We have also optimized the entire library for Kontakt 5.8, allowing for advanced features and superior performance.

Intimate Studio Strings now also features our latest Chaos Effects 4.0, allowing you to customize the signal path and post-processing of your ensemble with over 140 impulse responses, stereo delays, EQ and much more.

Perhaps the most crucial components to this update are the extended articulation patches. You can now use our “Poly-Time” articulations to playback Bowed Arcs at a speed that suits your composition, as well as fluently and effortlessly play all the Bowed and Performance driven playing styles in a legato fashion, allowing for flowing melodic lines. We have also implemented our latest “Chordal” legato mode, which features a true polyphonic legato with accurately sampled intervals, enabling you to play multiple harmonies within a single track.
