π» Fluid Shorts β Expressive Spiccato Strings for Agile Writing
Bring motion, bite, and musical realism to your productions with Fluid Shorts, a performance-driven spiccato string library crafted from a tightly focused chamber ensemble (8 Violins / 6 Violas / 4 Cellos / 3 Basses). Designed for composers who demand speed without sacrificing authenticity, Fluid Shorts transforms live phrase performances into playable multi-samples that breathe and react like real players.
β¨ Why Fluid Shorts Stands Out
Fluid Shorts isnβt built from sterile single-note recordings. Instead, itβs sourced from off-the-string spiccato performances, carefully captured and then deconstructed into responsive multisample instruments. The result is a naturally evolving articulation that maintains energy across moderate repetitions β perfect for rhythmic ostinatos, modern scoring, and hybrid arrangements.
πΌ Performance-Based Sampling
-
π» Recorded from real ensemble spiccato phrases
