New with the DAW Plugin Version 6.0, released with Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows: the Reaper® Panel! ![]() ![]() In particular, Miroslav has some really nice sectional sounds. But I think GPO or Miroslav are both excellent choices, and fairly low cost. There are a lot of other libraries available. It's got nice sounds, but I find that I don't use it a lot. Kirk Hunter Rock/Pop Strings is a good library with solo and string sections of various sizes, with a lot of articulations. Typically, you might add a solo instrument to a string section sound. I picked it up for the solo strings, but also to blend in with the string section for a more "detailed" sound. LA Scoring Strings First Chair is a solo strings library that runs in the Kontakt Player. It's an excellent library, especially since you get a full orchestra of other instruments along with it. Garritan Personal Orchestra is pretty affordable (used to be cheaper, grrr.) and has good string sections and solo instruments. I picked up the cut-down version during an sale, and upgraded to the full version. It's got some lovely sounds, both solo and sections. Miroslav Philharmonic is one of my favorite libraries for strings. I got it during one of the yearly half-price sales. It's not that "big", but has a number of nice articulations. Session Strings is good for an intimate blended string sound. I've got a number of different string libraries, and they each have different purposes. If you're just after a pad, just about any string library will work - even the cheap ones - because the focus won't really be on the strings. There are different ways you can use strings. In a lot of ways, it's easier to work from the piano notation than with music notation. You can see an example of this here (skip past the first 60 seconds). It doesn't take long to create string parts like this, and they sound pretty good. You'll need to do this now and then when the the notes creep up too far, and you have to move them down. If you've got more than a stepwise movement, move to the target note in stepwise motion, making sure you arrive at the target chord on the beat. Then move to the remaining notes the shortest possible distance: So if you've got a Cmaj7 going to an Fmaj7, first keep the common tones: The general rule is to move each note as little as possible. It's not that hard to create string parts in any program that supports piano roll notation. However for direct input you would need some kind of MIDI controller so be sure to check out the computer keyboard thing I mentioned if you can’t get a MIDI keyboard at this time. You can do all this in the piano roll view. I have also written some additional parts, shorten or lengthen notes, change articulations etc. In my DAW I have raised or lowered octaves on selected notes or parts and/or changed parts to better fit the song. I have generated one string track and saved it to my DAW then I generated another string set and save that to my DAW. I’m not sure if this will help but it may be what you can use.Īlso again don’t overlook the fact that you can use BiaB generated string parts using better string sound sets. Also google using a computer keyboard as a midi keyboard for information on this. Paul have you googled free orchestra midi files? There are a lot of free midi files of orchestras that you might find useful as a starting point for your music. so the string parts tend to be easy to play. Playing string parts is mostly one note at a time, and generally whole notes. I've seen them for sale at music stores for around $60 brand new. Even better, it had multiple tracks with the various orchestra instruments AND. Although I must say, I heard a classical orchestral composition in the Sonar song forums several years back where the person posting the work claimed it was 100% entered by mouse into PRV. Mousing takes a phenomenal amount of work and time. You could then substitute a string sample and be halfway there. Look into BB to see if it will give you a midi track for a pad. Unfortunately, unless you have a keyboard, mousing the notes into the song will be the only way. both are fairly low cost but still sound good. look at the Native Instrument strings as well as the Garritan package. There are some really fine string packages out there. I'm not aware of anything else that does what BB does.as far as entering chords and it plays.
