The Set‑up page is where you tell the ARC which programs you've loaded. If you'd rather stick to straight sustains, you can turn off the legato mode remotely with a CC command. Although the legatos are essentially monophonic (as is the norm in orchestral libraries), an intelligent built‑in script tracks your playing and automatically switches to polyphonic mode when you play a chord. New PatchesĪn immediately obvious benefit of the upgrade is that the patch list has been simplified: in place of multiple sustain, legato, portamento and glissando options, you'll now find simplified, all‑in‑one 'Legato Sustain' patches incorporating all four articulations, which can be played individually or jointly in one instance of Kontakt. In this review, we'll look at the new features introduced in LASS 2.0 and delve deeper into some of the library's workings.
The evolution gathered momentum, and, partly in response to user requests, the piecemeal patch‑tweaking approach eventually intensified into a major 2.0 upgrade.
Upon LASS's completion three years ago, its creator Andrew Kerestzes announced that new patches created for his own scoring projects would be posted on Audiobro's forum, thereby making this an evolving, 'living library'. For more details, read the original Sound On Sound review, at /sos/apr10/articles/lascoringstrings.htm. True legatos, glissandi and Bollywood‑style portamentos are also key selling points. The option of smaller sections also enables authentic divisi part allocation, as used in real‑life orchestrations. One of the library's strengths is its flexible section sizes: ensembles are presented in a choice of full, half, quarter (two versions) and solo instrument formats, making it easy to create anything from a string quartet to a large‑scale, 46‑player arrangement. Since its release in July 2009, Audiobro's LA Scoring Strings has become a byword for accurate, high-quality orchestral strings emulation. User‑definable keyswitch sets may be globally repositioned by adjusting the note displayed in the small window underneath the vertical 'keyswitch keyboard' graphic, to the left of the screen. LASS 2.0's new Audiobro Remote Control (ARC) pages include global control of all loaded patches: any adjustment of a control on an ARC page causes the same change to occur in every patch. Innovative 'remote control' adds new creative dimensions to a leading orchestral strings library.
