Dive into a world of sonic possibilities with the Ben Osterhouse Secco Strings. This innovative Kontakt instrument offers a deeply expressive collection of Viola, Violin, Cello, and Bass recordings, each with its own charm and character. Designed for musicians and producers who crave flexibility and creativity, Secco Strings is more than just a plugin—it’s a gateway to a universe of string textures and rhythms.

Secco Strings is built around three distinct play modes: Single Notes, Rhythm, and Texture. Each mode unlocks a new dimension of sound, allowing for intricate step sequencing and modulation. Single Notes Mode lets you assign up to eight steps, each with its own instrument and articulation, while Rhythm Mode enables you to create complex sequences with adjustable steps and time divisions. The Texture Mode is a standout feature, offering the ability to craft evolving soundscapes with user-definable cycling speed, perfect for creating swarms, ensembles, and chaotic effects.

The Secco engine’s versatility is further enhanced by the ability to import your own samples, providing endless possibilities for customization.
