8Dio Century Orchestral Strings is a leap forward in truly realistic symphonic strings. Produced by long-time Academy Award, T.E.C and G.A.N.G Award Winning and Emmy-Nominated producers, Colin O’Malley and Troels Folmann
Century Orchestral Strings is available in three volumes: Traditional Ensemble Strings, Sordino (Muted) Ensemble Strings and a collective bundle featuring both individual volumes. Century Orchestral Strings were recorded with advanced techniques in professional environments that allow both wet (hall) and close (studio) sounding strings at the same time. This means you have total room control. From large, lush orchestral strings to close and intimate studio strings. Six different microphone options, including Mixed, Decca, Wide/Far and three close studio spot mics (Close 1-3).
Real Strings. Real Emotion
The beating heart of Century Orchestral Strings is its completely realistic sound, playability and emotion. Every string section has a unique character and wide dynamic profile. You can easily weave in and out of dynamics. All legatos are dynamically layered and with full ability to control vibrato. Arcs are also velocity-based, so just play and feel the strings. But perhaps, more importantly, is the fact we paid equal attention to traditional and sordino (muted) strings, so you can mix and match between regular and muted strings. The combination of the two is integral to that motion picturesque soft, silky and emotional sound.
Control The Room. Completely
Century Orchestral Strings comes with 6 dedicated microphone positions. First, you have all three hall microphones: “Mixed, DECCA and Wide/Far”, which offers you the traditional large symphonic sound. Secondly, you have up to three dedicated close microphones: “Close 1, Close 2 and Close 3”, which gives you a much more dry, close and studio like sound. You can freely mix between all the microphones. Perhaps you want those 1st violins playing a melody with a lush DECCA microphone, while the 2nd violins are more present with a mixture of Close and DECCA mics. The many panning options allows you to place the strings exactly where you want them – both in regards to distance (mics) and panoramic perspective (pan).
Instant Access. To Everything
Access all articulations with a single click. One of the cornerstones of Century is the architecture behind it. All patches in Century comes with 12 empty slots. Click on any of the slots and gain instant access to all the articulations. Select whatever you want and you are set. Every slot automagically gets assigned to a key-switch, so you can literally create an advanced articulation matrix of up to 12 articulations in just a few seconds. So no more loading program different program files. No more hassle. It is all there – conveniently inside of the same patch – just a click away.
Dynamic Legato. Seamless Expression
Century Orchestral Strings sets a new standard for legato sampling. Casting sessions were held and the best string players were hand picked from all across Europe. 8Dio created new sampling techniques that allowed them to record the instruments more dynamically. The end-result offers you the ability to freely move between dynamics. The sound is truly authentic, dynamic and lyrical. All the instruments have their own personality.
A Wealth of Short Notes
Century Orchestral Strings contains the most advanced set of dynamic short-notes available. From the smooth spiccatos to more piercing tapped spiccatos, from staccatos to marcatos, from Short Note Arcs with one and two bow strokes to Pizzicatos, Bartoks, Con Legno, Loure Shorts and everything in between. The short notes were recorded and programmed with a variety of new techniques developed for Century. You can control the actual speed and definition of the short notes – from gentle, feathery strokes – to more defined and pointy attacks.
