Typically, legato passages (notes tied together with no space between them) contain varying amounts of subtle portamento and glissandi between the notes. LASS's use of legato is truly outstanding.

Whether you're dividing the sections into subвЂ‘sections, asВ pictured, or using the full instrument patches, instantiating multiple Auto Rhythm Tools add aВ tremendous amount of movement and colour to your string arrangements. This array of sub-sections makes it possible to divide your section in aВ very realistic fashion. The divided sections are recorded separately in their own physical position, with different players. For instance, the first violins patches are divided up as follows: 16вЂ‘player full section, eightвЂ‘player section, two different fourвЂ‘player sections, and aВ first-chair section leader. LASS overcomes this dilemma by providing separate subвЂ‘sections within each instrument section. While your notesвЂ‘toвЂ‘players ratio is intact, it's not the same as two separate groups of players. Using smaller sections (provided in some libraries) seems like aВ solution, but not when it is the same two sections. Mixing libraries can yield decent results but may require serious tweaking. That is not the composer's intention, but the workarounds are not usually worth the effort. If you play two notes on duplicate violin patches, the whole section will play each note, effectively doubling the section size. But why does it matter? Well, suppose your first violins are divided into two groups, each group playing a different note. The first and most noteworthy of these is its true divisi implementation.Д¬omposers working with string libraries have had to compromise their arrangements to some degree due to the fact that divisi sections have, up until now, not been available. LASS employs several features that differentiate it from other highвЂ‘end string libraries. While this is aВ minor issue, in view of LASS's price tag IВ think something more substantial than aВ PDF is in order.

IВ ended up copying and pasting excerpts from the manual to create my own version of aВ oneвЂ‘sheet reference to print out. IВ would have liked aВ hard copy to peruse away from the computer, or at least aВ chart with the MIDI controller info and possibly quick howвЂ‘to guides.

The manual for LASS is in PDF format, is well written and explains LASS's unique features quite capably. Now 40GB of samples is aВ good chunk of hard-drive realвЂ‘estate, but when you take into account that it includes both 16вЂ‘ and 24вЂ‘bit versions ofВ the library, it's actually aВ pretty efficient usage of samples. LA Scoring Strings, or LASS (thank heaven for acronyms), is installed from six dualвЂ‘layer DVDs, takes up about 40 gigabytes of hard drive space, and uses the ubiquitous Native Instruments Kontakt player. While most of us would sit back and wait for technology to catch up with our everвЂ‘increasing demands, Mr Keresztes hired aВ string orchestra, booked time at an LA film scoring stage, and created aВ string library that overcomes many of the limitations of other libraries, while implementing several innovative ideas of its own. LASS is the brainchild of Andrew Keresztes, an accomplished film composer who was frustrated with the current crop of string libraries and decided to do something about it. In aВ way, that sort of sums up my experience with LASS, but since Sound On Sound doesn't print twoвЂ‘sentence reviews, I'm going to have to elaborate. 'You wrote that?вЂќ my wife asked, after hearing the results of my toying around with LASS for aboutВ half an hour. Fortunately, aВ fair amount of information is visible from each instrument's window and is specific to that particular articulation. LA Scoring Strings hopes to set itself apart from the competition with clever devices that make it both more realistic and more userвЂ‘friendly.
