In our never-ending quest to sample every detail and intricacy of orchestral instruments this is the next step, capturing one of the subtlest and most delicate playing techniques in all its soft ethereal shimmer: sul tasto. In this playing technique the bow is drawn near the fingerboard, producing a magical, ethereal sound. As the bow gently moves closer to this region of the instrument, the sharpness of the tone subsides, giving way to a mellower, warmer sound – comparable to a breath or a whisper. This almost poetic and incredibly atmospheric technique is remarkably versatile. With this collection, you can harness its alluring beauty with uncompromising authenticity. Thanks to the Humanize Presets, subtle timing and pitch imperfections can be automatically applied to each individual musician in the ensemble, creating even more lifelike and emotional performances.
Overview
- 5 String sections playing “sul tasto” (near the fingerboard):
8 First violins, 8 second violins, 6 violas, 6 cellos and 4 double basses - Recorded in groups, with individual microphones for each player
- Authentic ensemble sound with direct access to each voice
- Humanize Presets for real-time control of performance accuracy
- Artful articulations from staccato to tremolo
- Avoid/force open strings and easily determine which strings are to be played
- Individual impulse responses for placement and reverberation of each musician of the ensemble
The “sul tasto”-playing technique is characterized by placing the bow close to the fingerboard, resulting in a lack of (even) harmonics and a very soft, breathy timbre, similar to that of a flute playing in pianissimo. Here, once again, the Synchron Player proves its power and capabilities: Its ability to gradually increase the number of players opens all-new possibilities for starting your arrangements “dal niente” (from nothing), or to fade out a note to little more than a bare whisper (“al niente”). By adding the ambience of Vienna Synchron Stage to the relatively dry samples in real-time, Dimension Strings III perfectly blends with every other product in the Synchron Series, resulting in a beautiful, production-ready sound straight out of the box.
