Afflatus Chapter II Brass - VI-CONTROL Afflatus Chapter II Brass It is finally released! The library is perfect, with lot of articulations, natural color of the sounds, efficient user interface and so on But: 1- Attack of the notes are mostly vertical, specially in solo legato instruments It is hard to start by soft "fade in"
Afflatus Strings - VI-CONTROL Ironically, Afflatus actually has all the basic articulations a standard string library has (plus a lot more!) The problem is that the articulations aren’t consistent across every type of string size (Afflatus has multiple string sizes) But I personally would rather take Afflatus over most “dedicated” string libraries That’s how good
Afflatus Chapter 2 Brass - Release + Afflatus Series Special! Having polyphonic legato as in Afflatus Chapter 1 Strings on Brass Solos and Horns a2 speeds up the writing process and also allows for more convincing transitions between chords Everyone owning Afflatus Chapter 1 Strings will probably have realized that and that's also the number one feature request we received for a potential brass chapter
Cinestrings vs Afflatus - VI-CONTROL Afflatus minimalist and lush polyphonic ensembles sit at the top of my template for sketching It’s unbelievable easy to get good results Draw in some chords Draw in some cc1 Sounds great Nice thing about afflatus legato is you don’t have to overlap notes…so drawing or playing notes right on the grid still has nice legato transitions
My review of Strezov Afflatus Strings - VI-CONTROL Thanks, Bill - I'll post the full review in early February (edit: after the 1 2 release) Meanwhile - since there has been some discussion about vibrato dynamic levels in Afflatus, here are some examples showing how one long note develops over time (circa 7 seconds) when the dynamic level is increased CC1 controls both dynamics and vibrato
New from Strezov Sampling: Afflatus Chapter - Part one: Strings Afflatus, at nearly twice the price, has far fewer patches, and many of these are quirky things I'd never use in a million years On occasion I use portamento and will miss it The "Pads" patch, while cool, is a lot of content I don't want or need, and it really could be a stand-alone library for $99

Afflatus Brass? - Strezov The Adventure Continues - Page 7 Just like Afflatus Strings It's just that those mood sections will be more practical and useful because they can be augmented and filled out with the workhorse-section articulations recorded in the same room It's the combination of the two (which Afflatus Strings didn't have) that will make the library both unique and useful in a practical way
