The Sound Board

Soniccouture have released their first orchestral strings library Threnody, journeying, as they themselves describe it, to the darker side of what strings can do. Threnody samples "a massive string section of 60 musicians, creating a textural playground of col legno clattering, clusters, ‘clouds’ of activity, and arcs of glissandi. Avant-garde & extended playing techniques like these have long been a foundation for sci-fi and horror soundtracks, where the orchestra becomes a shifting edifice of sound. The library includes 26 less common articulations sampled across the full orchestral range, layered with an innovative XY control system to create dynamic new shapes and movements."




Until June 4th, Threnody costs €199/$239, thereafter it'll be €249/$299.
