Musical Sampling just released Misterioso Strings for Kontakt. This library brings you soft, random tonal textures played by a group of 32 string players - 16 violins plus 16 violas. They designed it to create emotional orchestral music with clear, delicate sounds that stay musical. The players performed these textures live with gentle techniques that created a naturally subdued sound.
You can play across a two-octave range for clear textures, but you'll have three octaves available for your chord arrangements. The control system makes perfect sense - press keys lightly for minor chords or press harder for major chords. All your expression controls work through CC messages, letting you shape the sound exactly as you need. The makers carefully picked articulations that offer plenty of variety without becoming messy.
Most recordings used muted strings or were played near the fingerboard, creating that signature hushed quality. This helps Misterioso Strings blend perfectly with any other orchestral libraries you already use. The package includes three different microphone positions plus an adjustable reverb created from their custom hall recording. All players sat in traditional orchestra positions during the session.
You can buy Misterioso Strings at a special price of $99 until April 1st, after which it goes up to the regular $149. Just remember you'll need the full retail version of Kontakt 6.8.0 or newer to run this library.
