Thanks a lot, Vince. This is the part of your strings series which I could get the most out of. I like the approach of layering runs with tremolo or trills and the pitch shifter. I usually stick to "manual" runs with CSS marcato legatos. From time to time I use the free Violin Runs from VSL. The tricky part is the end of the run to leads smoothly into the main string part again.
What a fantastic video!! You sir have just shared for free some hundreds of dollars of courses don't tell!!! This is just fantastic...thank you so much!!!
Great examples, especially the last one with the SWAM violins layered with CSS. I use the CSS Marcato method too, but one historic gem of a library I've held on to is Cinematic Studio's predecessor to CSS, called CS2. It has a runs mode that overlays trills with spiccato, much as you demonstrated. The amount of trills 'messiness' is controlled by the mod wheel. Really quite effective! I was surprised it wasn't carried over into CSS.
I think I might've just found it. Is it LP Colorizer, perhaps? If it isn't, it looks like it could accomplish the same thing. Seems to be on a BF sale, but damn if I ain't tempted ;)
Great info! Which breath controller do you use and if it’s very expensive what would you recommend for a best value type of controller. I like the idea of using it for strings like this but I’m seeing some for $800 and that seems crazy
Breath and Bite 2 - I use bite for vibrato depth and control the vib speed (if it exists) with mod wheel www.tecontrol.se/products/usb-midi-breath-bite-controller-2

Great info as usual. I've never tried layering trills/trem patches with my runs, will have to try this out.
Nice vid ty Vince!
Awesome! Keep up the great work!

Haha thanks should have put that on the thumbnail 😸

Cool! It might be possible to recreate this setup using the grumpy monkey x fade tool! Although less precise than manual layering
Amazingly good Vince
Nice Vid! Please note with CSS Legatos, one could/should use sustain pedal for smooth, quick programming...:))
This is good, Vince. I notice you dusted off Chamber Strings for a demo. Do you use it much?
Nice video man.How did you get Logic to look like that?
Haha! Wanted to ask the same thing ;)

@ I think that might be it. Cheers man !
@@vRoMe0 You're welcome! Playing with the demo. Makes quite a big difference, but still undecided.

TEControl. Im using it too- not cheap but good
@@deividasgnedinas7592 which option do yo use - the basic or with bite/nod/tilt?
