Tableau Solo Strings: A Review (Organic Samples)

I would love if you muted your mic when you are playing. Especially important when you play the shorts to not hear the thud of the keys.

I am nobody special, but I would also prefer if you skipped the first step of reading from the product page. We can read ourselves. You are at your best when you make personal reflections such as when you point out the difference between the vibrato between violin and viola.

Sorry about that. I try to make sure to edit out all the key plunking, but I must have missed a few. Noted, regarding the product page. The main reason for doing that was to let the viewer know the intro price.

For what it’s worth, just chiming in here to say that I actually really like you to do go to a product page to sort of introduce a new library. One can scroll ahead easily enough if one is not into stuff like that....

let's dive into the newest offering from Organic Samples: Tableau Solo Strings. Please enjoy!
 
Is there really no control over dynamics in this library? I am trying to program solo lines with it and changing dynamics or expression (cc01/cc11) doesn't seem to have any effect. I must be doing something wrong.

EDIT: my bad, it was just a bug with MIDI channels in SINE.

Reviving this old thread to say how beautiful the viola is. Had to mock up a concerto for viola and orchestra for a well known classical conductor so got the tableau viola in hope it could do a better job than the violas I have and, well, just received a message from the conductor saying how realistic and beautiful the simulation was, and thanking me... so in turn I wanted to thank Organic Samples for selling a great instrument. I have only one reservation, which is the tremolo. It starts out so slow that it's basically unusable, a minor issue but maybe one that could be fixed in a future update.

Seconded, I don't really like the violin and cello in this collection, but the viola is a real gem that I think more people should be aware of. Since it's Sine, it can luckily be bought seperately. It is fairly basic (the legato has only 1 dynamic layer, no vibrato control and baked in bow change), but it is extremely playable and has a really, really nice sound.

Thank you so much. The player did an exceptional job by nailing it from the very first up to the last note.

Concerning the tremolo, sure, it's not a typical tremolo like we find in other libraries but I tried getting an organically evolving one, that acts as a crescendo, tension-like tremolo.

All in all, it shows that making a good sample library depends on the concept, the player, the microphones, the room (Teldex rocks!), and the overall mood you are in whilst recording. And especially there, everything was perfect :) Would be glad to make a follow-up library to this one, such comments as yours are a big motivation to make it happen.
