What it is
Vintage Strings 2 is a Kontakt string library from Big Fish Audio and FunkSoul Productions that recreates the smaller, more intimate violin, viola, and cello sections heard on 1960s-70s R&B, Soul, Jazz, and Pop records. It's the sequel to the original Vintage Strings, expanding beyond the violin-only concept with full viola and cello sections layered in for a richer, more authentic vintage string sound. Rather than a full orchestral section, it captures the tighter, warmer string arrangements that defined that era of popular music.
Who it's for
Producers working in R&B, soul, neo-soul, hip-hop, and retro pop who want authentic vintage string arrangements without programming a full orchestral patch from scratch. Also useful for composers scoring period pieces or anyone chasing that warm, analog-era string tone.
Key features
- Four distinct string groups covering two cellos, two violas, three violins, and four violins, plus a dedicated solo violin for expressive lead lines
- Nine- and twelve-piece multi patches with an auto-harmonization feature for fast arranging
- Ten articulations including sustain, staccato, tremolo, pizzicato, harmonics, and sordino, along with run and chord patches for quick melodic and harmonic passages
- Full Komplete Kontrol and Maschine integration in a 3.8GB uncompressed library
