Kirk Hunter Chamber Strings Emerald Kontakt
Not only do Chamber Strings sound expressive and musical on their own, but layer them on top of other orchestral string samples to add an amazing dimension of added character and musicality.
The concept was to create a sound that was not huge and spacious such as the sound in KHSO Strings, and neither small and intimate such as the Virtuoso Series Solo Strings, but somewhere right in the middle. A sound that had intimacy without sounding thin, that had musical expression and playability, and best of all, worked well with all other sound libraries. So if you want to add that sense of realism to your orchestral strings, no matter what the library, choose KH Chamber Strings.

Some Features:
Believable and user-friendly legato and detache without having to use an external "tool".
-Expressive triple-piano dynamics, with loud and aggressive triple-fortes.
-Control the amount of attack either by the way you play, the Mod Wheel, or by selecting different attack articulations altogether.
-Seamless expression styled by the way you play. (No vibrato when played soft, and gradually add vibrato the louder you play.)
-"Round Robin" (Kontakt 2 version only) which REALLY works well with Chamber Strings. This feature is fantastic for doing repeated notes.
