Fracture Sounds releases Solo String Formations for Kontakt Player featuring solo violin, viola, and cello

Fracture Sounds has released Solo String Formations for the free Kontakt Player, a continuation of the Formations series that introduces solo violin, viola, and cello recorded in the same hall as 2023's String Formations. The performers include the first chairs from the original chamber ensemble, who also appear in Soft String Soloists, allowing all three libraries to integrate smoothly for users with previous titles. YouTube.com/watch?v=x8z7UTB7btQ&t= Built on the Formations Engine Voice-led textures designed for layered string writing. The Formations series focuses on creating textural layers using intelligent voice-leading. The engine follows the notes played on the keyboard and triggers harmonically appropriate intervals, generating an ensemble-like response with solo instruments. This approach supports writing that evolves naturally without requiring detailed manual arrangement. Arranger Menu for Note Distribution The new Arranger system includes an Auto mode that assigns each note to the most suitable instrument based on range: cello at the low end, viola in the middle, and violin at the top. Users can also select priority modes to limit playback to a single instrument or use the Tutti mode to layer all three across each note for a denser sound. Additional Layers and Sound Design Tools The library includes 16 chordal and unison articulations, as well as eight new Atmosphere Layers—pad textures created by the Fracture Sounds team. These can be blended with the core instruments in the mixer or layered with unison articulations using the Layer Blends engine, now updated with a sub bass control for added depth. Introductory Pricing Available Until 1 July 2025 Customers can save 30% when purchasing Solo String Formations individually, 35% when bundled with Soft String Soloists in the Solo Strings Bundle, or 40% with String Formations in the String Textures Bundle.
