Highly regarded
in the music industry, sampling pioneer Dan Dean announced the
release of his new “Dan Dean Solo Strings ADVANCED” DVD-ROM
library in Native Instruments Kontakt 2 player format today. Priced at
$199 (US) for the single DVD, this orchestral library has been
completely redesigned featuring chromatically sampled Violin, Viola
and Cello in both Solo and Ensemble configurations.
Convolution – Timbral and Reverb. This is the first sampling
product to employ Timbral Impulse technology, developed with
Numerical Sound which allows you to match the DDSSA’s sound to a
captured snapshot of a different string section or solo instrument. Also
by Numerical Sound, a custom created library of Reverb Impulses
custom designed for use only with the DDSSA. The Dan Dean Solo
Strings ADVANCED is composed of 3 main instrument groups:
1. All-In-One Instruments, which feature all articulations of each
solo instrument (Violin, Viola and Cello) accessible via keyswitching. All
six articulations are laid out on separate keyswitches - arco, spiccato,
pizzicato, tremelo, half step trill and whole step trill. This allows you
instant articulation switching. Legato control via MIDI or pedal is
implemented. We have created special Short Attack sound files in
addition to attack and release controls via MIDI. Alternation is also
included in this group of instruments.
2. Voice Control instruments. This is a new programming we
devised for this product. We created a proprietary ensemble building
technology transforming the Solo String samples into beautiful, lush
ensembles. Using the Voice Control feature, you can access a solo
instrument, 3 instruments or 6 instruments via keyswitching or
modwheel. In the case of the Violins, you can choose many different
variants from solo instrument to 2 Violin 1+ 1 Violin 2, 3 Violin 1, 3
Violin 1 + 3 Violin 2, 6 Violin 1, 6 Violin 1 + 6 Violin 2 (12 Violins).
Each of these ensembles has a distinctly different timbre. All of the
Ensemble presets were captured in 24 bit and are extremely quiet. We
have added attack and decay control via MIDI and legato control via
MIDI and sustain pedal.
3. Legacy Programming. These are the plug and play/drag and drop
instruments you have become used to over the years. Find the
instrument you want, open it and play. Sustain pedal controls sustain.
Keyboard velocity behaves is you would expect it to. If you want to
adjust attack and sustain characteristics, it is ready via MIDI.
Powered by the KONTAKT2 Plug-In. Nothing on the market sounds
as good, has as many features, lower latency or better overall
performance than KONTAKT2. K2 has been thoroughly "road tested"
and has more user hours than all of the other soft-samplers.
Use DDSSA as a stand alone application. KONTAKT2 works on the MAC
in OS X (now supporting "Mactel" computers) or on the PC in Windows.
Because DDSSA is a Plug-In, open it in Logic, Pro Tools, Digital
Performer, Cubase, Sonar, Garage Band or in any VST, DXi supported
application.
High quality sample recordings with virtually no noise. We
returned to the original source recordings and retransferred the sound
files, cleaning up the already beautiful wave files. There is no noise or
other artifacts in the DDSSA. The solo instruments are 16 bit full scale
and the ensemble presets are 24 bit. The ensemble arco, arco SA,
tremelo, trill half step and trill whole step are looped.
These extraordinary programming features and technologies in
conjunction with the highest quality sample recordings give the
keyboardist unprecedented, unparalleled control over previously
unavailable performance variables. The result is a collection of the
finest Solo String instruments and String Ensemble presets available.
They are very easy to use and sound great.
