UJAM Symphonic Elements Striiiings

Full Description

The power of movement

A fully-fledged instrument, Striiiings is not simply a reductive collection of static loops and phrases. It's a living instrument that follows your musical lead to help you achieve your end-goal quicker than ever. This library is a purpose-designed suite of stringed orchestration, built for a myriad of different production requirements. Versatile enough to be used in anything from contemporary pop productions, expansive game sound design or silver screen scoring. Offering a new way to think about string orchestration, Striiiings splits high and low register instruments into different modules, allowing full control over each, without the need to dive into the minutia of techniques.

Million-dollar sound

As a founding member of UJAM, Hans Zimmer has lent his more than capable hand to the creation of Striiiings. Recorded in his legendary Remote Control Studio using a selection of his personal stringed instruments, Striiiings ascends to the cream of the crop for virtual string libraries. The studio and instruments are only good as the players performing on them, which is why UJAM have employed best-in-class instrumentalists to record this library using the best equipment that money can buy. Produced and recorded by industry -veteran Boris Salchow, UJAM Smyphonic Elements Striiiings is a force to be reckoned with.

Get realistic results faster than ever

No matter your skillset or knowledge, Striiiings has been designed to let you get studio-ready results in a matter of minutes. No deep menu diving, complicated non-musical terms or clustered interfaces, just a simple layout that offers easy tweaking to get the sound you want fast.

Providing you with only a few key controls, you are awarded the flexibility to customise the performance of your string ensemble to get realistic results quickly. Whether you have studied classical composition or know how to set up an orchestra or not, UJAM Striiiings doesn't tie you down with intricate technique parameters but instead lets you load up the instrument and get composing within seconds. With 60 playing styles across over 200 presets, you can instantly unlock realistic performances, regardless of your style, genre or production.

Supernatural sound design engine

Designed to not only give you highly realistic string sounds, but UJAM Striiiings also employs a new Supernatural sound engine, filled with powerful sound shaping tools for a sound design twist. Build textures, atmospheres and even completely reshape and transform your string sound into a completely new instrument to suit the needs of your production with ease.

As each section of the orchestration is divided into low and high strings, each range is given its own independent set of controls, parameters and effects to help you fine-tune your sound along with a master section. Add movement and rhythmical dynamics to your strings with Motion FX, comprised of everything from rhythmical, chopped and glitched staccato sounds to smooth vibrato and tremolo. Ideal for lifting a solo section with enhanced emotion to sound more realistic and dynamic. Delicate Character FX allows you to reshape the overall timbre of your lows and high strings by boosting and cutting different frequencies. The Character FX works in tandem with the Focus EQ control, allowing you to morph between different preset EQ curves to alter the frequency response of your independent low and high strings to cut through even the densest mix.

It's not just the sound of each range that can be altered within UJAM Striiiings. You can dampen the sustain of notes within your phrases using the Decay control. Ideal for adding intense and sharp staccato notes to spikes and stabs that follow along with percussion or for enhancing the sustain of long, held notes.

The master module affects both the low and high string orchestral simultaneously, offering a global change to the tone for creative sound design. This is where you will find the crossfade control that seamlessly morphs the volume between low and high strings to dial-in the perfect level for your project. A key aspect of realistic string performances is the ambience, which is why UJAM Symphonic Elements Striiiings includes a variety of real-world ambience spaces to enhance the depth and dimension of your sound. For contemporary swells and faders, an analog-modelled synth filter is included in the Highlighter dial, making cinematic trailer impacts, that much more powerful. The final piece of the sound design palette is presented with the Finisher section. A staple amongst all UJAM products, this proprietary multi-effect design lets you do anything from subtle enhancement of your sound to completely redefining it to a new instrument!

Reviews

"Taking the sonic DNA that defines the sound of Hollywood, I was invited to create a universe of epic phrases, creative atmospheres, pads, altered and gritty riffs and much more. Needless to say, I had a LOT of fun!" - Boris Salchow (Sunset Overdrive, Resistance 2&3, Dead Rising)
