OMG, the GUI is so good and fancy!
just like every NI software. pretty cool GUI.
Straightforward mic mix, auto divisi, custom keyswitch for articulations, and of course, wonderful realistic string renditions. Definitely looking forward to using this vst.
Those legato's sound really good!
Ok this is amazing, This is the next gen easy to use string library :)
Sounds real.....gr8...tight n lush ...and simple to use
Sounds so sweeeeeeeet!!!
Currently, I own and have owned EWQL Symphonic Orchestra Gold Edition for years and was thinking about purchasing EWQL Symphonic Orchestra Platinum Plus.
I'm also an owner of Native Instruments Symphony Strings Essentials, but it lacks Divisi.
Has anyone done a comparison of the two libraries yet?
Anyone knows what is the oldest version of Kontakt 5 that this one would work in?
Idea of Divisi is very good and right.
All samples have reverb incorporated from samples or reverb can be turned off?
AudioBro did this video. I can't help but see the similarities to their LADD library. Are these two libraries (LA Scoring Strings and String Ensemble by NI) essentially the same?
This library is really epic.
Will the library be added with new articulations? As an add-on or update.
How is this with a S49 keyboard ? Is it a problem regarding the mapping of keys ? Can we re-assign the keys to match a smaller size ?
sounds good
awesome)
Impressed. I'm currently not happy with my current string lib :/
+FesliyanStudios which is what? So I know what to avoid
+Kim Runic message me privately and I'll explain.
+FesliyanStudios same here :v
+G.r Sohan - Composer I got this library and im 100% happy with it
Any Thoughts now? Still positive?
Is it possible to automate the dynamic wheel without the komplete kontrol keyboard?
Are there plans to expand the articulations?
how long should it take to download this? cause i'm growing greys here...
Is this library working fine with Dorico? Will the auto-divisi work? Are there any expression maps for Dorico available?
Ok so I own this. Sounds amazing. One issue. The legato has an annoying swell effect on the attack no matter what settings you choose. So playing faster legato lines feel laggy. Any methods for resolving this?
Wow, this is really annoying. I take it the samples are far too short and are looped. I will check if this persist 5 years later in complete 13, which I own...
How do I change each separate note velocity inside String Ensemble Symphony Essentials? When I try to lower a note velocity the volume stays the same. I'm using this plugin inside of a DAW (FL Studio12).
You could make an automation with the "Last Tweaked" feature in the "Tools" section in the top left.
are you using the shorts? or legato? use the volume automation for legato and velocity for shorts
Why does the dynamics knob reset to a default value before the knob is ever touched? Now one thing I noticed touching the scumorph knob on the sound preset WILL NOT send any CC data, only the MOD wheel!! Thankfully aware of this :-/ But as far as the init value not being recorded of any synth's CC state is a dire mystery. I am sure others have this issue too! What am I doing wrong? I have a Komplete keyboard I had just recently acquired as well as the Komplete bundle.
Example - Let's say you begin with a new track and set the knob to %50 before anything is even recorded! The init value seems to be entirely ignored unless the knob was moved during the recording! I in other words have to move the knob or draw in a CC value to not have the CC change to %0!! Without doing this, eventually while working on the project this results in a muted audio channel as the dynamics goes to %0, below the init value that the preset starts with! This affects every CC at certain points! How does one make this setup less annoying? I hear from Evil Dragon that this is something to do with MIDI even chasing wich I have enabled! This apparently can happen in Ableton Live! I will be ever grateful to wisdom on this!
My Daw I use is Cakewalk by Bandlab. I wonder if that's the problem :-/ I just need to know if I need to change my workflow? This issue seems to affect other CC values too resulting projects not sounding right as all the CC values I tinker with are not being recorded since Id have to TOUCH each MIDI CC knob DURING RECORDING!! Where is the value stored temporarily if not already stored in a MIDI track? Do I need to SYSEX or something? That seems a little backwards! Am I missing something? I am not new to this! However, I may need to consider using the Komplete front end to get around this...
Anyone chime in please! THANKS!
this looks super good. but how does it compare to cinematic strings 2? I bought cinematic strings 2 a few months ago. wonder if i should buy this as well.
What should I buy for Acostic band music
Session strings p 2
Or This one
When Symphonic Series bundle drops I can feel a grand size hole getting ripped out of my bank account.
It's 50% cheaper right NOW
It's 50% cheaper right NOW
It's 50% cheaper right NOW
Please keep me informed when the next sale happens. Thank you.
@@BryanELx IT HAPPENS NOW
A solo violin is also available?
Ready to purchase... can you tell me which button I press to turn on "I have talent" mode so I can use this to make music?!?!
The closest you will get to that is LSD lol
@@95TurboSol
Jesus Christ that's messed up, my dude 💀💀💀🤣
Can this be used to create a string quartet as well? In other words , can you decrease the amount of players? I am really hoping this does. I hope I get an answer soon before I purchase Komplete 12 Ultimate collector edition.
Yes . you can decrease the amount of players .
Why my string ensemble dont have legato option?
Does anyone know if an orchestral VST with more than between 5 and 10 basics articulations exists ? As an example for the strings, in addition to all the basics possibilities that all VST propose I never saw one that allows the composer to play Sul tasto, sul ponticello, portato, saltando, jeté, finger tremolo, col legno, col legno battuto, left hand pizz, a punta d'arco, al tallone, pushed, pulled etc. I'm sorry but without having all the possibilities of music I wouldn't feel as an artist who use a VST to put in sound his ideas, but as a skiver whose the mind is limited by the possibilities of his tools.
So could somebody tell me if an orchestral VST made for real music exists or if they're all just a way to show off with powerchords cinematics compositions, thanks !
www.soundsonline.com/hollywood-strings look at the articulations tab, there are so many articulations.
or just hire real musicians
The main artics for strings are here, and I really love the auto divisi feature which is a huge plus.
But if you want those artics you mention I'd check out Spitfire Audio string libraries. Their Albion V is awesome imo, and there's others too. But the down-side of some (eg Albion V) is that for scoring there's "high strings", "low strings", high brass, low brass etc. However the subtlety together with a huge range of extra artics are def there in SA, and I feel SA string libraries could complement this AudioBro library which, although not cheap (as with SA), looks and sounds very good indeed, user-friendly with a great GUI.
Matching reverbs/spatial reflections of the different VIs could be challenging and would take time and skill.
I do like the warmth and full-bodied unison broad sweeping string orchestra legato sound of this AudioBro /NI VI however. Good luck in your searching
How do you control the dynamics - crescendo and diminuendo?
A mod wheel, breath controller, pedal, or any hardware that sends a MIDI CC signal. I personally use a USB MIDI breath controller to free my hands for playing. Check out Mike Verta's VI Techniques videos for a quick run-down on how to control your orchestral VIs properly with a mod wheel.
is there something with string solo too? Like the woodwind solo?
Yeah, I wonder that too.
i bought it, there are only ensembles but no solos
Does anyone else think of Adebisi (from Oz) when hearing Divisi? Obscure reference I know.
If this is going to be included in komplete 11, I will instantly buy it
That would be great! Considering the price point for each Symphony Series section however, I highly doubt this will be included in Komplete.
yes but only with ultimate 11 a photos been accidently posted showing some of the included plugins and the full collection is included they have also amended the ni website it used to say not included within k11 now it no longer says this.
+djjuno106 what, really? Can I see those photos?
+GTJKQEGHIJKQBEIJBNJLKENKJTYnEQYEQY nvm found it media.musiciansfriend.com/is/image/MMGS7/J42706000000000_IMAGE_06?defaultImage=ics-trans&op_sharpen=0&resMode=sharp2&op_usm=0.5,1,6,0&id=3GERN1&wid=1500&hei=859&fmt=png-alpha
There will be an "Essential version" off this in komplete 11 ... www.native-instruments.com/de/products/komplete/orchestral-cinematic/symphony-series-string-ensemble/symphony-essentials/
I can switch between articulations but I can't capture the changes in recording!
How is that possible?
Do you have any solution yet? Same problem here
Is this a plugin for pro tools? I have "Pro Tools | first."
VST's will run in any DAW.
Is there a microtuning function?.....like LASS
+Mohamed Batrawi Any library using kontakt has microtuning function. you just have to dig deeper into the "Script editor". you can google that. it's easy.
My actual dilemma Native String Ensemble or 8dio's Adagio bundle ? Anyone can help me?
+Didier KWEST I have 8dio Adagio, good for the sound quality, but I think NI String Ensemble is more intelligent to play and makes today the difference
@aalphanTHANKS I'm totally crazy just bought these two and i'm : :-) :-)
+Didier KWEST Spitfire
Yeah!!!
*****
this is good, better than berlin strings, this doesn't require much memory
I know it's just an opinion but no way is this in the same realm as berlin.
Why is the symphony series only strings and brass? Why not woodwinds and percussion?
+SsgtHolland hopefully
+FocusMrbjarke They've just released these two libraries. You'll have to wait for their next symphony series project.
+FocusMrbjarke Action Strikes is percussion library.
+Cavid Bakirli but it's not a part of the symphony series unfortunately
***** Yep :/ You was right. But u can do so many things with that library.
Is it good for pop music production? Would it be too lush?
you can do anything bro, make a new pop lane
MO PingPing Any genre can use strings. Just use the strings as you see fit. If you are doubtful if you will use these or not, don't get this library. It probably costs a LOT.
However, if you see unique potential in those strings, that you can use them for something unique, that you will be in love with this for a while...then TOTALLY, go for it! :)
Everyone of my favorite metal bands has used orchestra throughout their career. If metal can do it, anything can
Is this any better than session strings and session strings pro? I don't wanna waste any more money chasing the ultimate strings.
+Corina Sechelariu My dog can bark an F# better than what youtube can put out. You shouldn't take this video as any indication of sound or image quality.
+Jake Surname then how can I find out what's a better buy?
any review suggestions?
You're going to have to try things out yourself or take someones word on it. No, I have no suggestions.
+Jake Surname after watching quite a few videos of random composers using this, it does sound pretty good compared to the sound in this video and on the NI page demos, I'm really considering buying it now. I can't really find any demo version (for download) of many Native Instrument sounds, which makes me sad, but watching multiple videos of this program working pretty well, it's pretty much enough for me to figure it *Is* pretty good.
+MrMakemusicmike Honestly after spending quite a while watching composers use both Symphony Series String Ensemble *and* Session Strings, (In my personal opinion) this is higher quality.
But Symphony series Pro is pretty good as well, I'd still prefer this if I had the money.
It's good but I hate that it has too much reverb on it even if you take off the reverb
Must be analog reverb
First comment
You sound like Michael Stipe.
That's me in the corner
is this a run-through?
no. it's a walk through.
So, how much does this cost?
+cortster12 499€
+cortster12 £429
www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/orchestral-cinematic/symphony-series-string-ensemble/pricing/
Whelp, there goes my dreams.
+cortster12 just get symphonic orchestra from east west
***** Well, that seems much better for what you get. I actually may just buy that.
Better not let up 5 seconds for the audio hackers 😆
Esto no suena a violines.
Edirol still the best
way much overpriced! I think Spitfire Audio is better and cheaper.
+Sensium Even Spitfire Audio has ridiculously high prices!
Blazer jeez do you know how much it costs to hire orchestral musicians?
Google
Vienna Symphonic Library if you want to see pricey.
spitfire audio is used by hans zimmer
overpriced? Do you know how expensive it is to record an orchestra, per note, per articulation, legato transitions.
So much work has been put into this library, the coding, mixing, recording etc.
Price is ridiculous.
+shaolinzen11 what do you mean with ridiculous? Cheap or too expensive? I find it absolutely too expensive. If you decide to buy the whole thing (with all future releases) that's a lot of money. Worth it? I guess for experienced musicians or studios definitely. But for home composers? I'm very sceptic about this.....
+Markus Burger Yes, too expensive....for what is basically a sample pack.
+shaolinzen11 next you'll all want the programs to come with a tiny orchestra in the box.
+zlistcelebrity no, I have many vet's, and this simply isn't worth the price.
not bad...not great
I know it's 3 ears late, but what is considered "great" to you?
