LASS

Tired of the resource eater Play pluggin, i have decided not to wait for the Hollywood strings (which anyway are going to be too expensive for me) and I chose to go for the LASS strings. I wil soon release two tracks using these strings, they are really beautiful, and they have something that no other has currently: they have divisi sections!

Because they use the great Kontakt sampler, they also have a step sequencer specifically designed for the strings to sound great, and they do. You can press the sustain pedal and there you have your step sequencer … many many features are available through the Kontakt scripting and they are all useful and great sounding.

See here for official demos.

A psychoacoustic orchestra ?

Sample Logic’s challenge is clear: surpass A.I.R. (their own product), Symphobia (from Project SAM) and Evolve (from Heavyocity) all together. Like A.I.R. Morpestra is Kontakt based and it comes pre-installed on a Glyph PORTAGIG 800, 80 GB Hard Drive. Quite a program: Athmospheres, Rymthms, Impacts, Melodics, Pads, Transitions, etc… wow, and the demos sound cool! It sells for 700$, 440£ or 470 Euros.
