Native Instruments has announced the launch of its latest Kontakt instrument, the London Contemporary Orchestra Producer Strings.
The LCO ensemble is known for its innovative approach, and has been used in scores for such hits as Deadpool and Wolverine, as well as collaborating with the likes of Radiohead, Frank Ocean, Taylor Swift and The Weeknd.
LCO Producer Strings delivers emotional depth through modern, gritty, and glitchy string textures, with all sounds captured at London’s iconic RAK Studios in partnership with acclaimed engineer Fiona Cruickshank.
The instrument is built around a flexible four-layer engine that lets users stack violins, violas, cellos, and synths sections into kaleidoscopic textures. Explore the beauty of raw organic sounds or blend them with evolving synth beds and granular textures for unique hybrid timbres. Unique articulations like cluster blooms, harmonic flickers and percussive pizzicatos add an avant-garde flair.
