Iremia Swells Collection
Now available for the first time as a stand-alone collection, not only is this a complete collection of incredible sounding solo violin, viola and cello swells, it also comes with upgrade codes for the full versions of the Iremia solo string instruments, so starting with the swells collection is a great way to dip your toes into the Iremia series.
You get 3 different types of swell for each instrument: non-muted, muted and muted tremolo and each of these comes in four different lengths: 4, 3, 2 and 1 seconds. Also included is a Time Machine Pro patch that lets you vary the length of the swells from 75 to 125%, making it easy to fit into any tempo.
The Iremia swells all start from whisper quiet, crescendo to a medium intensity, before fading back into nothing. They add a deep emotional quality to your music and the detailed recordings captures all the human imperfections in the sound which creates a real sense of intimacy. It's easy to shape the sound to your need with 3 different close microphone perspectives (including one recorded inside the instrument itself), as well as super close, close, medium and far perspectives.
These are some of the most inspiring sounds I have ever sampled and so many of my own music has started by pulling up these swells and just playing. All in all the easiest way to ad instant Scandi Noir string moods to your music.
Please note: Requires the FULL version of Native Instruments Kontakt 6.7.1 or later. It will NOT work in the free Kontakt Player. Please watch this if you are unsure of what version of Kontakt you have.
