You're really awesome!!! "Mirror Game Trailer" and "Hide and Seek Chase" were my favorite so far. I listened to a bunch of stuff on your Soundcloud. But if you don't, I'd still love to hear your thoughts here. Okay, sorry for the hard sell on making a video. maybe your demo video could be the video that proves this! I would love to see your opinions on the difference.Ĭlearly Action Strings is better at ostinato type stuff than Sonokinetic's Minimal, but it's yet to be seen if Capriccio can fill the ostinato gap enough to the point where you might not need Action Strings at all. Ooh! ooh! Does that mean a video? If you do that, I think you'll be the first (non-sonokinetic) person to post a video. I'm going to do a demo of it tomorrow, but their well done videos pretty much explain it all. Plus, you also get Brass, Woodwinds, Percussion and Pitched Percussion (with Piano, Wood and Iron instead of High, Medium and Low.) So much more for the same price of Action Strings. two high string parts one medium, etc.) Though technically Action Strings has more phrases, they seem "set" in their particular style, where as with Capriccio, you can mix and match all the different phrases in various ways, then play it with the harmonic shifts to add even more variations. You can have High, Medium and Low strings going, or any combination of that (i.e.
ACTION STRINGS PHRASES WONT WORK PLUS
I am fairly impressed with how much you can actually do with Capriccio over Action Strings (and Strikes, put together!) Just for the strings part alone, there are quite a few phrases, plus variations, harmonic shifts and more.
So because of this thread, I researched SonoKinetic, who I am surprised I've never heard of before, and after seeing what all they had to offer, bought Capriccio.
ACTION STRINGS PHRASES WONT WORK TV
I've seen 5 TV shows this past couple of weeks where I immediately recognized Action Strings/Strikes and Dark Zebra (the composer didn't even bother to tweak the Dark Zebra presets to make it his own. It seems like Action Strings has more string phrases, but they might not be as varied as Sonokinetic's.? anyone else, could you confirm that?I have Action Strings and have been a little disappointed on how limiting it is, but even more disappointed at how recognizable it and Action Strikes are these days. I have not had dealings with them directly, but based on their interactions on the VI forum, they seem like the type of folk who would be easy to approach and deal with. Leap of faith, yanno? Also, you can try emailing the Sono guys with any Qs you may have, if you think it will help you get a better idea of what the libs really offer. Have you seriously considered purchasing one or two of these? I know they aren't cheap, but sometimes you just have to go for it. I have no experience with the Sono libs you mentioned, but I am pretty sure you are getting more than just strings - that the libs are the entire orchestra, no? In that case, you might find the strings are not as in depth as you are hoping, as the focus is not just on strings, but everything. It just does not sound the same - period.īut I also agree about the flexibility not being there.
The phrases in phrase-based libs are - assuming the musicians and engineering are up to snuff - always going to beat the underoos off of creating phrases from individual samples. It's kind of like how a sustain pedal on a piano causes sympathetic vibration of other strings. Thanks, but I'm not looking to just "get there." I'm looking for the realism that comes with recordings of multiple notes / ie: phrases.
