The core of this instrument lies in its ability to transform MIDI input into living performances. Rather than triggering individual notes that can often sound "boxy" or disconnected when played as chords, this library uses pre-recorded chordal performances to maintain the natural resonance and sonic interaction between strings. Core Features and Playability
The library is designed for depth, offering more than just simple loops:
: Each chord includes both normale and sul ponticello versions, allowing you to crossfade between them using the mod wheel to add evolving motion. Kontakt Hub Ben Osterhouse String Flow Violin (...
: All samples automatically sync to your project's tempo. While recorded at 100BPM, they remain musical between 85 and 160BPM, with an optimal sweet spot at 120BPM.
: Higher velocity layers incorporate natural rubato , adding a layer of human-like contrast and emphasizing the bassline. Integration and Requirements The core of this instrument lies in its
: Chords are organized into four voicing types: Closed, Open, 7th chords, and Open 5ths.
The by Ben Osterhouse is more than a standard sample library; it is a specialized tool that captures the "rolling bow" technique, where a player quickly moves the bow across strings to create energetic, chordal textures. Unlike traditional libraries that focus on static sustains or isolated shorts, String Flow prioritizes movement and organic phrasing. The Philosophy of "Flow" : All samples automatically sync to your project's tempo
: Samples focus on the rapid, rhythmic movement across strings, providing a unique texture often missing from "all-in-one" orchestral libraries.
