OUT NOW — Fractured Strings



Award-winning composer Paul Thomson takes you to the edge of the world and beyond with Fractured Strings. Created in collaboration with Hans Zimmer’s prestigious scoring collective Bleeding Fingers Music and London’s finest string players, this small ensemble library features an eight-piece string ensemble and two soloists, brought to life in the unparalleled acoustics of AIR Lyndhurst Hall, complete with 15 signal paths.

Fractured Strings introduces an innovative approach to articulations that delivers inspirational surprises through intervallic performances and new modal colours with unparalleled depth and realism. Introducing our brand new Scale Mode technology, these sophisticated, emotive movements and textures reflect the intricacies, patterns and contrasts found in natural phenomena — as heard in BBC's #FrozenplanetII.

Sounds nice, is everything free or is there time sync on the phrases?

Hope so, otherwise that would be pretty useless.

Bought it immediately! I'll let you know what I think, but for me it was a no brainer. Very well recorded and will be using this right away.

While I don’t think it makes it useless it certainly limits it. My sense is there is no temp sync as I heard some phrases slower and some faster on Paul’s walk through on the same patch. Audio Bro Modern Scoring Strings can do some of this stuff and is tempo synced.

 

[Loerpert]

Sounds wonderful, I'm wondering if it has the option to sync to the DAW tempo though.

Has anyone listened to the demos? "Frugal" by Oliver Patrice Weder is a song I wish went on for much longer than 2 minutes! Absolutely gorgeous.

Is the Orchestral Swarm discount indefinite or does it end along with the intro offer on Oct 13?

I am having fun with it. For me it's really nice to have.

 

[Geoff Grace]

I'm glad you're enjoying it, @gives19. Are you able to determine whether or not it syncs to tempo?

Best,

Geoff

It looks like my question was answered in another thread:

I bought it. The rotations and arps patches are tempo synced.

Good question, lettucehat. I hope @Spitfire Team will return to this thread and let us know.

It's 209 euros for me. Is that including the swarm discount?

Not actually part of Spitfire, but it should show up at your price (including any Orchestral Swarm discount) if you are signed in to your account.

Wonderful sounds! Though...I imagine there's no score guide to work with, is it? (similar to Sonokinetic). Thinking out loud for any orchestration and / or ear transcription with a deadline

 

[davidson]

@Spitfire Team Can you confirm which articulations are tempo synced please because there is some confusion: your manual says there is no sync, but some users saying arps and rotations are. Can you shed some light?

Yup
