Critic Reviews

Native Instruments Symphony Series String Ensemble

soundonsound.com

Native Instruments' Symphony Series - String Ensemble delivers a lush, dynamic sound that’s perfect for dramatic orchestral compositions. Its standout feature, the Auto Divisi system, allows for seamless player distribution, enhancing realism and ease of use. However, at a relatively high price point, it may deter budget-conscious musicians. While the library impresses with its articulations, it lacks certain desired options like marcato and Bartok pizzicato. Additionally, there are minor playback speed issues with octave runs that NI is addressing. Overall, this library is an enticing choice for serious composers, especially with the attractive crossgrade pricing for Komplete users.

Native Instruments' Symphony Series String Ensemble delivers a commendable string library experience, especially for those seeking a more affordable alternative to LASS. Its standout feature, the Divisi function, allows for scalable orchestra sizes, enhancing playability and versatility. While the sound quality is top-notch and the articulations are robust, there's a notable absence of vibrato crossfades in the Sustain and Sordino articulations, which could elevate expressiveness. Overall, it's a solid choice for musicians looking to enrich their compositions, though it may leave some wanting more detail in certain areas.
