String Essentials 2nd Edition The second edition of Peter Siedlaczek´s legendary String Essentials, now with Kontakt 2 Player engine and extended programming! |
"Dear Friends,
I am happy to introduce you this comprehensive, thought-through and ergonomic virtual string orchestra. It couldn’t have been realised earlier, without today’s computer and sampler technology. In its carefully programmed patches you will find many innovative solutions, to help achieve your music goals even more quickly. The result is a spontaneous, playful and intuitive handling of the sound material. With unified key switch system and direct, instant access to the all important articulations. Including quintuple alternation switch (Staccato, Quarter Notes) and precise control of the dynamic response of the samples using different MIDI parameters. String Essentials will enable you to focus on the most essential part of your activity - your music - creatively and easily. Just load and play it! New great sounding samples in 5 different lengths, 3 or 4 dynamic levels, runs and natural release samples have been carefully recorded using 3 microphone placements: close (dry), normal and ambient. You choose the best sound for your music. Including Surround ! I did my best to use the power of the world’s leading technology, the Native Instruments Kontakt Sampler down to the last detail. The result is a complex, yet easy-to-use musical instrument. I am sure you will play it with enthusiasm and enjoyment!"

Testreport June 2006 Sound & Recording
The pioneer returns. Countless other settlers followed his path, but the pioneer of classical orchestra sampling, Peter Siedlaczek, moves on, his covered wagon full with new ideas and freshly recorded string sounds. In the wide open spaces of the prairie Old Peter impressively shows the way to go. Conclusion Sonically beyond any doubt String Essentials are worth the money. All comparable competitive products concentrating exclusively on string sounds are more expensive and do have more complex user interfaces. By using innovative approaches in controller handling it succeeded in giving the complex area of string simulation new impulses, surely already being evaluated very curiously by other manufacturers. Just like it was about ten years ago when Peter Siedlaczek hit the market with the Advanced Orchestra.
