Hello All, and thank you for sharing so much useful information regarding sample libraries that I have benefited from this past year. This is my first post to your excellent forum.
Are there any sample libraries that have upward and downward string glissandos that are pitched based/time based via the DAW input? Ideally, I would like to divisi the strings (Vln 1, 2, Vla, VC, CB) into clusters via the Score Editor in Logic Pro (or any notational program) and set the pitches and duration (based on the DAW tempo) for each instrument via notation. I realize this is asking alot. But is there anything out there that could get me close to this for decent score mock ups? Dynamic Sound Sampling Orchestral FX seems to be getting there, but, I'm not sure they do downward glisses, and I don't know how the samples would respond being driven by a MIDI score editor. I also know there are 4 speeds, but I'm not sure how they are relative to the DAW tempo, if at all. Around 38:30 of Penderecki's "Magnificat" is an example of an extended descending string gliss that would be nice to realize in sampled instruments built on pitches and time from a DAW:
It seems that Project Sam's Pandora Adaptive Sync shows promise in controlling both glisses and aleatoric phrases over time, but I'm not sure they can be programmed to start or end on the quarter or eight (or less) beat? And I'm not sure about pitch and transposition. I'm a bit concerned about stretching them regarding sound quality. And apparently this can be tough on the CPU? Are there any other "aleatoric"/FX libraries that offer this kind of control (other than OTs SFX Strings and similar libraries that seem quite "playable" for my purposes)? I read on your forum about Strezov's AMS Brass library, and this also seems to offer quite a bit of control.
I hope this makes sense. I've probably been doing way too much Black Friday pre-shopping!
Thank you again for your help!
