8 definitive collections
Berlin Strings includes 8 distinctive orchestral strings collections from our flagship series. You get a complete range of playing styles and section sizes, as well as detailed solo instruments and unique playable effects. The level of detail is immense, with more than 550 articulations. Perhaps most importantly, all these strings were carefully recorded on the same scoring stage with the exact same setup, so you get an even, well-balanced sound. And whichever strings you use for your piece, everything works perfectly together.
Included collections
Berlin Strings
Our flagship orchestral strings start here. Mid-sized ensembles provide exceptional detail and definition, enhanced with multiple legato modes, tempo-synced runs, and even a choice of attack options for your long notes.
Berlin Symphonic Strings
Large string sections for a rich, cinematic sound. Berlin Symphonic Strings gives you the inimitable power of a massive string orchestra.
Berlin Con Sordino Strings
Berlin Con Sordino Strings presents a truly extensive exploration of the sound of string sections played with mutes. The sound is inspiring on its own, and it blends beautifully with more traditional string sounds for rich, layered timbres.
