The interface provides a visual representation of the current key being played, ensuring composers stay within the correct harmonic framework. Why Choose Sultan Strings?
A customisable keyswitching system allows users to switch between articulations (like sustains to trills) on the fly during a performance.
The Kontakt interface for Sultan Strings is divided into four main panels: .
Sultan Strings by Sonokinetic BV - Ethnic Strings - KVR Audio
To "fatten" the sound, Sonokinetic included an octaved overdub for each phrase. This was recorded separately and is mapped an octave higher on the keyboard, making it easy to layer for added tension and scale.
The ensemble is composed of 3 violins, 1 viola, and 1 cello , specifically recorded to deliver a strong and convincing Middle Eastern character.
Sultan Strings is built for Native Instruments Kontakt and is focused on providing a "human" touch that is difficult to recreate with standard orchestral libraries.
