Strezov Sampling String Contours 2 KONTAKT

《String Contours 2》是 Strezov Sampling 打造的高端 Kontakt 弦乐音源，专为电影和现代配乐而生。该版本在保留原有高可玩性和自然动态表现的基础上，引入了诸如 Polybend Legato、多速率同步滑音、节奏同步慢 Detaché 等真实演奏技巧，为创作者提供前所未有的表达自由度。不同于传统采样音色堆叠，该库以非层叠的录音方式捕捉真实透明的合奏质感，即便是三音符的和弦，也仿佛是三位演奏者同步演奏般自然。

全新加入的“节奏同步弯音”与“Polybend 连奏”，可实现复杂的复调滑音与连线表现，所有录音皆覆盖完整音程，匹配独奏及合奏应用。此外，“Slow Detache”支持六种节奏型与两种动态风格，并能根据宿主节拍自动同步，尤其适合慢节奏氛围。另有备受期待的 Inverted Contours 与新一代 Espressivo 也正式收录，带来更强烈的表现张力与动态变化。

录音方面，团队严选演奏家与多麦克风配置，在中型空间中录得细腻但具电影感的声音。音源涵盖独奏与合奏编制，支持主流节拍结构调整，搭配自适应速度与自然渐变颤音，最大限度还原真实演奏细节。无论是现代管弦乐创作，还是探索实验性氛围构建，《String Contours 2》都是极具深度与表现力的专业级工具。

WHAT IS NEW IN STRING CONTOURS 2
The library contains a selection of the most elusive contemporary string sounds, only before heard in live recorded scores. Like Polybend Legato, Temposynced Bends and slow connected Detaches. These are not your typical one shot performances, but highly playable and adaptable patches that allow you to blend these techniques into your compositions seamlessly and write completely original arrangements using these playing techniques.

WHAT STAYS THE SAME
– Perform expressive phrases while freely changing notes. The original dynamic flow and natural vibrato progression adapt and are preserved – without intensive MIDI CC programming.
– Our non layered approach captures the transparency of a real recorded performance. No artificial “stacked” ensemble sound— a three-note chord with a cello sounds like three celli performing together.
– Different tempi require different performance styles, which are automatically selected by each patch
– Time Signature Support – The sample pool gets adjusted by the Time Signature in your sequencer

TEMPOSYNCED BENDS AND POLYBEND LEGATO
Our industry-first temposynched bends and polybend legato in multiple speeds allow you to perform seamless expressive lines that sync to your sequencer, as well as polyphonic contrapuntal portamento with moving inner lines, in real time. No more artificial pitch bending. We recorded all intervals upward and downward within an octave in sections, and within a fifth in solos.

TEMPOSYNCED SLOW DETACHE
Temposynced Slow Detache with 6 different rhythms, covering 2 separate styles of expression, a softer more tucked in performance and a second, more broad, connected and expressive style. The patches automatically sync to your project tempo and allow you to program flowing patterns, designed to flow between the inputted notes and between the recorded patterns and expressive styles. They work best at slower tempos around 80 BPM.

INVERTED CONTOURS AND ESPRESSIVOS
Highly requested by users of the original String Contours, these new bowings bring heightened dynamic impact to the concept. The Inverted Contours reverse the dynamic shape of the classic patches starting with a fortepiano attack that swells into a dramatic crescendo.

The Espressivos are captured in three distinct tempi and four dynamic shapes, consistent with the approach in String Contours 1, but with a more intense, expressive character.

TRANSPARENT AND NATURAL RECORDINGS
The recordings were done using only handpicked musicians best fit for the required aesthetic in tone and vibrato, as well as custom microphone arrays summed down to 3 different mic positions and a fully produced out of the box mixed signal. The hall is of ambient medium size to get a cinematic sound, but still retain as much details as possible.
