Description
System Requirements

Hyperion Strings Micro is an introductory orchestral string library for Native Instrument’s free Kontakt Player, Komplete Kontrol, and S-Series Keyboards. This library is the perfect starter pack for songwriters and musicians just getting into orchestral writing, as well as seasoned composers wanting new colors in their orchestral palette.

No matter what your creative needs are, you’ll discover the powerful toolset and outstanding audio quality that you’re looking for in this convenient and extraordinarily flexible virtual instrument library.

WATCH DEMO

This library has a forward and robust sound unlike any other. The string ensemble sections up close are recorded on a dry soundstage — the historic Studio A at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, CA — and then equipped the interface with plenty of spatialization, environment simulation, and positioning controls and options to let you dial in the sound and character you need.

It’s perfect for any musical style from Rock, Pop, and EDM, to fully orchestral compositions.

The interface is detailed, configurable, and feature-rich to allow total customization. However, for all of the bells and whistles that are designed into Hyperion Micro, Soundiron carefully refined every feature to be intuitive and naturally simple to use, with virtually no learning curve.

CONTENTS

Hyperion Strings Micro includes a combined full ensemble preset, as well as 4 main section presets, for 8 Violins, 6 Violas, 5 Cellos, and 4 Double Basses. For this Micro Edition, Soundiron included the most essential core articulations for each section: multi-dynamic sustains both with and without natural vibrato, staccatos, spiccatos, and pizzicatos, as well as two basic dynamic expressions: long crescendos and decrescendos.

The multi-dynamic sustain, staccato, spiccato and pizzicato articulations allow smooth crossfading across dynamic layers, from piano to forte with the Swell control. In addition to dynamic layering, you can also choose rich, natural vibrato or clean non-vibrato sustain types or seamlessly blend between them with the sustain blend control. You can also instantly switch the staccatos, spiccatos, and pizzicatos to velocity sensitivity mode and control dynamics directly as you play. The pizzicatos also allow manual or automatic switching between naturally loose flams and precise tight plucks that adapt to your speed. Each of these short articulation types also features two “round-robin” variations per note. The Crescendo and Decrescendo expressions allow real-time dynamically aware release sample triggering, tempo-synching, and time-stretching. These are a great introduction to our broader “Expressions” concept for modular arrangement.

Articulations included for each section:

Vibrato Sustains p, mf, and f.
Non-vibrato Sustains p, mf, and f.
8-count Crescendo p < F with vibrato.
8-count Decrescendo F > p with vibrato.
8th-note Staccatos (2x rr): p, mf and f.
32nd-note Spiccatos (2x rr): p, mf and f.
Loose Pizzicato plucks (2x rr): p and f.
Tight Pizzicato plucks (2x rr): p and f.
