Unleash the full power of orchestral strings with Ben Osterhouse's Pattern Strings, a Kontakt Instrument that brings an innovative twist to the traditional ostinato. This plugin is designed for both seasoned composers and budding musicians, offering a seamless integration of tempo-synced rhythmic fragments that breathe life into your musical arrangements.

Pattern Strings boasts 19 meticulously recorded rhythms, captured across two dynamic layers on violin, viola, cello, and bass, each with 4 round robins. Its intuitive interface allows you to drag and drop these rhythms effortlessly, arranging them into sequences that flow naturally with musical phrasing. With the automatic bow direction feature, your compositions gain a natural ebb and flow, simulating the authentic performance nuances of a string quartet.

The Legato mode ensures that new notes synchronize perfectly with previously held ones, enabling you to craft convincing melodic lines within your sequences. Whether you’re working at a brisk 160bpm or a laid-back 80bpm, the tempo-sync switch offers flexibility to tailor the playback speed to your exact needs.

Pattern Strings is engineered to handle complex arrangements without taxing your system, thanks to its Dynamic Loading system and stereo-doubled rendering that conserves both memory and CPU. This efficiency means you can layer instruments without compromising performance.

Create stunning variations with Custom Keyswitches, storing different patterns at your fingertips for easy recall during live performances or intricate compositions. And for those moments when inspiration strikes, the Random Button lets you generate new rhythmic sequences, sparking creativity right when you need it.
