If some of the names can sound obscure, the little circled “I” at the right of the name will provide a brief description of the patch and technique. In addition, at the top of each of the instruments section, we will find an All In One patch, containing all of the articulations that we can switch between in the lower panel. The techniques here are displayed for each of the early mentioned instrument, allowing us to load (or preview) a single articulation for, let’s say, the 20 Cellos Center samples. We can display just the Long or Short techniques, or just single instruments (violin, viola, cello and bass), easily clear our selection, if needed, and preview the patch before loading it, with the little play button before the technique name, a really useful feature that can save a lot of time. With 147 patches we can easily get lost, but a lot of filtering functions allow us to easily find our bearings. In the upper section we can find the Preset Selector. The GUI looks beautiful and minimal, the first impression is that just a few parameters are controlling the samples, but actually there are a lot of pages, clearly categorized, and we can absolutely control everything we need, from the usual expression tools like the Dynamics, to the Mic Positions section and the advanced triggering options for changing articulations. The install process is really easy, we are asked to access with our credentials, then we can choose where to download and install the content. In order to install and run the samples within the plugin, we need to download the Spitfire Library Manager. Violins: up to 60, recorded altogether, 20 left, 20 center, 20 right, galleries Violins, violas, cellos and basses were divided and recorded in different positions: More players means that the strong techniques sound more powerful and dense, and the softer ones, even sweeter, thick, intense and immersive. Consider that a symphonic orchestra is considered “big” when reaching more than 100 elements, and here we have 344 players, more than three times that number, but all of them are string players! Yes, the number is unreal, and the effect produced is as well. That’s the quote we took from the manual, and it is perfect to describe the effect produced by such a huge number of players. Hans has often said that “the true magic of sampling is when you are creating something that’s impossible in reality” Hans Zimmer Strings, in addition, does not run in Kontakt, but this time Spitfire Audio teamed with UsTwo to provide a brand new plugin, with an astonishing design offering clear and organized parameters. Spitfire and Hans Zimmer put the stress on the “unreal” that became possible with sampling: in fact they recorded 344 players at the legendary AIR studios, and delivered a library with over 234 presets, 147 techniques (such as Long, Super Flautando, and many more we will discuss later) and up to 26 mic positions. It consists of 183 GB of samples – better prepare a new hard drive. Hans Zimmer Strings is a new installment in the Spitfire Signature series, after the Hans Zimmer Piano and the Hans Zimmer Percussions libraries. Zimmer is one of the most influent film composers who does not need any introduction. When it comes to a new Spitfire Audio release, excitement is high, and this time around it’s one of the most enormous string libraries, signed by the man himself, Hans Zimmer. So, Maestro Mahler, you think you got a big orchestra there? We sneer at your puniness – we are Hans Zimmer Strings, you wimpy little ensemble!
