Switching between articulations is a big part of a realistic string arrangement, and key to extracting the full range of musical colours that strings can deliver. The result is greater distinction and character between the different voices, without the need to be an expert string arranger. One of the most powerful features in that respect is Auto Voice split, which takes your combined string pad and intelligently arranges it between the discrete instruments of the string section (Violin, Viola etc) rather than a generic layered string sound. The Ensemble patches, for example, are designed to give you an immediate section sound from just a single patch. String theoryįor those wanting simple string parts, Studio Strings can be an incredibly immediate instrument, with some unique features that aid its realism. Within each instrument selection you’ll also find a set of articulations (the precise set varying between the instruments) covering a range of different playing styles. Here you can switch between the individual instruments – Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola, Cello and Double Bass – as well as the various ensembles patches – including String Ensembles, Small Section, Disco Strings and Singer Songwriter – that layer multiple instruments as part of a whole section. The uppermost level on Studio Strings is the instrument selection found towards the top of the interface. This all has an impact on your workflow, which we’ll be exploring in more detail in the workshop. What’s particularly interesting, though, is how you negotiate the sound of the string section – from different articulations, like pizzicato and legato, through to the various ensemble sizes and the individual instruments themselves. Studio lineĪt its heart, Studio Strings is a sample-based virtual instrument dedicated to strings.

Studio Strings is designed to be easy-to-use, creating realistic sound string parts with the minimum of fuss, yet deep and flexible enough to keep pro users happy. Logic Pro X’s new Studio Strings virtual instrument makes string arrangement both affordable (or free, assuming you have Logic 10.4 installed!) and surprisingly accessible.

Achieving a realistic string sound isn’t easy or cheap, often necessitating dedicated third-party string libraries, like Spitfire Audio’s Symphonic String, as well as the know-how on how to construct and program your DIY string arrangement.
