Great sounding studio strings, multiple articulations and phrases as a Reason Rack Extension
Premier Strings
StringWERK for Reason, a highly inspiring and authentic string section for Reason, introducing a new level of realism and playability to Rack Extensions.
Bringing a new warmth and intimacy to your Reason tracks, StringWERK is easy to use and captures perfectly the sound and playing of a small premier string ensemble, ideal for pop and rock productions.
StringWERK for Reason boasts a variety of exciting string articulations and pre-sets, but it’s far from a simple sample library: it’s an inspirational production tool and performance instrument in its own right.
Studio Sound
Capturing the sound of a small premier ensemble, StringWERK for Reason consists of 4 violins, 3 violas, 2 cello and 2 basses. It's simple to use, the instrument groups mapped across the full keyboard range, with double bass on the lower keys and violins at the top end. The instruments have been recorded in symmetrical seating position, giving you the option to place them wherever you like in your mix.
Articulations
Out of the box StringWERK for Reason is loaded with articulations logically grouped in 3 presets: Sustain, Expressive, and Short; and features true legato transition samples for gloriously smooth legato lines as well as release samples for realistic note release.
The articulations include:
Sustain, Accented Sustain, Legato, Spiccato, Staccato, Pizzicato, Tremolo, Sforzando slow/fast, Crescendo slow/fast, Semi-tone trill, Whole-tone trill and Slide up/down.
Each articulation incorporates up to four dynamic layers and up to four round robin samples per note. Select your articulations either via keyswitch or automation, and control StringWERK's dynamics via velocity or modulation wheel: the choice is yours.
Animator Patch
The Animator transforms chords into energetic and musical staccato, spiccato and pizzicato phrases. Choose from a large number of pre-sets or create your own groove, building seamless rhythmic patches and ostinatos.
Program up to 16 steps - either as single arpeggio notes or full chords. Control the amount of swing or the tempo: always perfectly in sync with Reason.
Reason Combinator
StringWERK for Reason includes 37 Reason combinator patches combining Reason’s synth and processing units with the new wizardry of StringWERK.
The patches are grouped in four categories: Acoustic, Animated, Layered and Processed. Between them they cover a huge variety of sounds and use cases, from acoustic keyboard splits to experimental moving textures.
On board Effects
StringWerk has a built in processing section comprising of EQ and compression, and also offers delay and reverb effects. This will help you to speed up your workflow when adjusting your sound to sit in the mix, as you can stay within the environment of the instrument to commit to those small sound design adjustments you want to make ahead of the final mixing process.
