This is what you get

The instruments
There are 7 violins, 2 viola, 7 cellos and 2 basses in total.

Easy Mix
Strings at your fingertips. You can easily mix each of the 4 instruments groups (vi, va, ce, ba) by separate volume slider. This lets you quickly set up an instrument balance at your own needs. You can easily solo instruments or leave them out.

Three articulations
All instruments are available as Shorts, Longs and Pizzicato. Each articulation comes along in a single patch which is easy and quick to use - you can directly play it at your fingertips.

Players
This feature lets you chose between different amounts of players. This happens in 'real' because we have record all these instrument players separately. There are:

Quartett (1/1/1/1)
Full Range (7/2/7/2)
Chamber Ensemble (6/2/3/1)
Just Lows (0/0/7/2)
Just Highs (7/2/0/0)

 		Dynamic
Just move the modwheel to slide through all the dynamic layers of the longs notes. The shorts and pizz articulation are working different. In order to get a natural playabilty we have vary the length from short to spiccato by moving the ModWheel. The result is as precise and accurate as it should be.

The Seating
Besides adjusting your favourite type of player ensemble you can also decide the kind of seating, available is the „American“ or the „German“ seating. In order to generally set all panning to center please use the "off" option.

Sweetness
This feature lets the overall sound of all instruments change from natural (left end position) to sweet and smooth (right end position). By using this option you can easily let Zilhouette Strings sound more distanced.

FX

Finally Zilhouette Strings provides a reverb with eight fine selected types of reverb such as a church cathedral, some classic reverb types or some great hall types.

All was recorded in several recording sessions in our own recording rooms in a close and intimate distance to the instrument in a solo as well as in a trio situation. We have used condenser mics such as Neumann U-87 and TLM 103, Schoeps MK4 as well as dynamic mics such as Sennheiser MD421, AKG D112 among others.
