Just like the original Action Strings there are 4 phrases on individual keyswitches, but on top of that we also have six different single articulations on additional keyswitches. There are also multi-sampled single articulations too? It’s a fantastic toolbox for any composer. However, you don’t have to rely solely on the themes and presets as it’s easy to create something great yourself. In addition, we’ve purposefully created some more typical compositional building blocks for everyday scoring. Of course, there are lots of presets too and I especially like the chromatic themes. These ‘Live Modules’ can now be mixed completely freely by the user with staccatos or other single articulations so every musician can create their own bespoke phrases. These are the exact type of elements that only sound realistic when performed live and in context. First and foremost, I’m totally blown away by how composers will be able to build their own phrases there’s virtually unlimited flexibility now! We didn’t record 2-bar phrases this time, but a mix of single articulations and live elements like legato motifs, runs and falls. There are so many advances over the first version that it’s difficult to know where to start. For example, the completely new Melody Creator where you can assign a precisely defined melody to a sequence of notes. All of this knowledge has been incorporated into Action Strings 2 in various ways. In fact, The Orchestra was developed with a new type of engine that uses highly intelligent interlocking arpeggiators. We’ve been honing some of these ideas with the scripting of our other instruments: Action Strikes, Emotive Strings, Mallet Flux and The Orchestra. You’ve learnt a lot in the last few years?Ĭertainly. Action Strings 2 is basically a complete reinvention of the original approach, with an innovative workflow and lots of exciting new features. When Kontakt 6 opened up some new possibilities for complex features we knew the time was right to work with Native Instruments and take the sequel to the next level.

What inspired you to create Action Strings 2?Īction Strings was a great success and over the past few years the Sonuscore team had lots of ideas about how to improve the concept.
