Soundiron Hyperion Strings Elements v1.0.0 rollerball's Lite Version KONTAKT

This is a light version of the Soundiron Hyperion Strings Elements library. The library features a 25-piece chamber string orchestra having 8 violins, 6 violas, 5 celli, and 4 basses. The library has an upfront sound that is quite dry, making it suitable for use in a variety of contexts where a more wet sound might not be the most desired thing. One of the main features of this library is that the strings were recorded centered in the stereo field. This is great for contexts where the traditional seating positions of the instruments might not be the most optimal, but also it works great when the instruments are moved to their respective places as well. The Space tab in the interface allows the instrument to be positioned wherever desired. All in all, this is a good library for usage in less traditional contexts.

The samples in the original release were in 24-bit 48kHz format. The samples were converted to 16-bit 48kHz and repacked into NKX containers. A null test results in a peak of -85dB, which won't be audible at all. Also, after quite some testing, no issues were found with noise floor build-up when playing lots of notes. The conversion process takes the size down to 5.38GB from the original 9.74GB, which is a 45% reduction!

Also included in the release are the HSE Expansion Patches, which were released by Soundiron as a free update and cover a variety of styles and include a few sound design patches as well.

NOTE: Kontakt v6.0.2 or higher is required. This library does not work with legit full version of Kontakt and k'd Kontakt is necessary to use this library.

From the manual:

Hyperion Strings Elements is a universal string ensemble library built for everyone. It was recorded with uncompromising engineering precision and then hand-edited and carefully balanced to achieve a new benchmark in quality and playability. We set out to strike the ideal balance between polished refinement and natural humanism, for maximum creative flexibility, advanced utility and acoustic realism.

This symphonic string library is a robust musical production workhorse that will serve you well, whether you’re a working composer, student, producer, songwriter, teacher, arranger, band, sound designer, or are just curious about creating your own music. It’s optimized for instant gratification, from the moment you load it up. Its intuitive modular design and content symmetry make it easy to use for the beginner. Yet its robust articulation list, dynamic capabilities, time-saving articulation management tools, deeply customizable acoustics and professional feature set make it exceptionally powerful in the hands of the seasoned composer. It is encoded and optimized for Native Instruments’ NKS standard and the free Kontakt Player, Komplete Kontrol and S-Series Keyboards, and very affordably-priced to make it truly accessible to everyone.

The Hyperion String ensemble has a forward and robust sound unlike any other. It has a strong tone and wide dynamic range that can be shaped to fit any genre or style. It can also be used to fatten and layer with other strings to create massive arrangements. We recorded our string ensemble sections up close in the historic Studio A at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, CA. We’ve also equipped the interface with plenty of spatialization, environment simulation and positioning controls and options to let you dial in the sound and character you need.

The library includes a full-ensemble preset and 4 Master and True-Legato section presets for 8 Violins, 6 Violas, 5 Cellos and 4 Double Basses. The Master presets include a broad selection of fundamental articulations, each with their own range of customizable real-time performance options, key-switch and mapping options and performance tools. These master presets allow you to blend and switch effortlessly vibrato, non-vibrato and tremolo sustains, a variety of short bow strokes and naturally dynamic tempo-based expressions, effects, rhythmic patterns, runs and sequences.

The Sustain articulations weave together multi-dynamic lush vibrato, clean non-vibrato and intense tremolo sustains, recorded naturally in piano, mezzo-forte and forte dynamics. Within the special True-Legato presets, you can switch instantly between agile fingered and smooth glissando legato transition styles for vibrato and non-vibrato sustains, with speed control that adapts to the way you play when you want it to, yet gives you total hands-on control when you need it. Our True-Legato system lets you craft startlingly realistic and seamless performances, whether you’re playing quick slurred runs or long, silky-smooth melodies.

The Short articulations include 6 types to choose from: 8th note long staccatos, classic short staccatos, spiccatos, pizzicatos, Bartok pizz string snaps and col legno bow taps. Each type includes two speeds, loose and tight. Each short articulation provides 4 round-robin variations per note and auto-speed switching, making it easy to humanize your arrangements and find the perfect bow stroke or emotive expression for any musical moment.

The Expressions allow real-time dynamically-aware release sample triggering, tempo-synching and time-stretching. We’ve included a wide selection of Crescendo and Decrescendo, Sforzando and Swell expressions in various lengths, styles, curves and speeds. When combined with the Offset and Attack controls, you can carve out just about any dynamic shape you could ever need.
