Strezov Sampling – String Contours

🎻 String Contours: Redefining Virtual String Performances 🎼✨

What is a Contour?
A contour is more than just a note—it’s a dynamic, expressive musical phrase. Imagine a one-bar crescendo gracefully flowing into a one-bar diminuendo, complete with a bow change in the middle. 🎶 With String Contours, these performances are meticulously captured, allowing you to seamlessly switch notes without disrupting the phrasing. The result? 🎧 Natural vibrato, dynamic flow, and realistic expressiveness without complex MIDI CC programming. Say hello to effortless, high-quality compositions!

🕰️ Dynamic Recordings for All Tempi

String Contours embraces the contextual nature of live performance. Each contour is recorded at:

• 🎵 3 tempi to perfectly match your project’s pace.
• 🎵 4 dynamic shapes to suit any emotional arc.

No heavy time-stretching—Kontakt automatically syncs to your DAW’s tempo, ensuring natural transitions even during tempo shifts. 🌟 Precision meets practicality.

🔄 Adaptability Like Never Before

Whether you’re composing for a solo cello or a full string section, String Contours adapts seamlessly. Intelligent scripting adjusts note transitions based on phrasing, bow changes, and performance style. This ensures smooth, lifelike expression with minimal effort. 🎶
