From the very beginning we set out to create something that felt as close as possible to standing on the scoring stage. Our most ambitious library to date, designed so that composers can be even more ambitious with their music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eLUX Orchestral Strings is not just another string library. It is a 70-piece symphonic string ensemble, recorded on a large scoring stage with unprecedented realism, warmth and scale. It puts you right in the room with the orchestra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eLUX Orchestral Strings was crafted by composers for composers with a professional workflow in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GApaH4TRwpw?si=uitAO4nVVYsDH10A\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QFcodL8Qdas?si=HhcNfB6Ow7zCJfrz\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"xch-heading\"\u003eCreate Scores that Last\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eDo you remember the first time you sat in a cinema and the hairs on the back of your neck stood up? When the music gave you goosebumps before a single word was spoken. Film score has the power to excite us, to move us, and to supercharge the story. Some of the most classic films are inseparable from their scores. Perhaps it was the opening brass fanfare of Star Wars, the menacing low strings of Jaws, or the magical shimmer as E.T. and Elliott flew across the moon. Those sounds did not just accompany the story, they became part of the memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"xch-heading\"\u003eWhat Makes LUX Special\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eLUX Orchestral Strings was created with a composer’s workflow in mind. We crafted the sound and developed unique techniques to deliver the most natural playing and composing experience. Switch effortlessly between articulation sets tailored to different styles and keep your creativity flowing. Discover a sound so authentic, it feels like you’re standing right in the heart of the orchestra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"xch-heading\"\u003eS.A.T. – Seamless Articulation Transitioning\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eIn most libraries, articulation changes sound like separate recordings, not a continuous performance. Real musicians play differently – they flow naturally from one technique to another. A sustained note becomes a tremolo simply by increasing bow speed, without any break or restart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eS.A.T. brings that fluid motion to LUX. Move between articulations while holding a note, letting phrases evolve with the natural expressiveness of real performance. A gentle key switch creates a gradual shift, a stronger one a quick change – giving you true instrumental flow at your fingertips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"xch-heading\"\u003e70-Player String Ensemble\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eLUX Orchestral Strings is huge, not a small chamber group, not a cut-down studio section, but a full 70-piece symphonic string ensemble recorded with the size and power that defined the golden age of Hollywood film scores.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eIt delivers the perfect balance for modern scoring: bigger and richer than smaller 30 – 40 player sections, yet more detailed and versatile than oversized 90+ ensembles. It captures the cinematic weight of world-class film recordings while retaining clarity, flexibility, and expressive nuance. Ideal for any professional composer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"xch-heading\"\u003eComprehensive Bleed Microphones – Done Right\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eOnly a few libraries offer a bleed option, and usually only in a limited way. With LUX Orchestral Strings we wanted to capture the true experience of a full orchestral scoring session, so we took it much further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eIn total we set up 48 microphones. 26 were used for the main capture — tree, far, and close mics for the string sections. On top of that we added another 22 close bleed microphones across the brass, woodwinds and percussion sections to record their natural spill into the strings. This recreated the complete orchestral recording setup, with every mic you would expect to find on a professional scoring stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"xch-heading\"\u003eResonance That Lives and Breathes\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eWith LUX Orchestral Strings you can choose how much of that natural spill you want in your mix, from just a touch of color to the full character of the scoring stage. The result is bleed that does not feel like an added effect, but like the resonance and interplay of a real orchestra in the room. Other libraries hint at it. LUX Orchestral Strings delivers it in full.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"xch-heading\"\u003eMorphing Articulations – Evolving Sounds in Real Time\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eLUX Orchestral Strings lets you do something sample libraries rarely achieve — shape articulations as if they were alive. Using the mod wheel, you can blend seamlessly between two or more articulations in real time. Sustains can melt into tremolos, sul ponticello textures can swell into shimmering atmospheres, and a staccato can transform into a powerful sforzando with a single movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"xch-heading\"\u003eComposer-Crafted Ensembles – Instant Inspiration\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eWhen inspiration strikes, speed is everything. LUX Orchestral Strings offers carefully crafted ensembles, designed by composers who understand true orchestral balance. Sketch soaring melodies or driving rhythms in seconds, then refine them into detailed individual parts at your own pace. Flexible voicing and octave options ensure a full, lush sound, ideal for quick sketches or powerful supporting layers. These ensembles are not shortcuts, they are inspiration engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"xch-heading\"\u003eKey Switch Sets For Every Musical Context\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eLUX introduces something no other library offers, dedicated Key Switch sets tailored to specific scoring needs. Whether you are writing an action sequence, a lyrical theme, a soft texture, or a melodic passage, you can load a single set that contains all the articulations you need for that context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"xch-heading\"\u003eNatural String Change – ?Legato with the soul of a player\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-paragraph\"\u003eReal string players do not cut notes short when leaping across intervals. As the bow moves, the previous string lingers, resonating just a moment longer and giving the phrase its natural flow. It is a small detail, but it is what makes live performance so moving. For LUX Orchestral Strings, violinist and developer Jonas Meyer created Natural String Change technology, a system that detects when the next note would fall on a different string and allows the previous one to breathe into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xch-product__notes\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"xch-product__features\"\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"xch-heading xch-heading--main xch-product__features\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"xch-features__list\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"xch-feature\"\u003eSeamless Articulation Transitioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"xch-feature\"\u003eComprehensive bleed microphones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"xch-feature\"\u003eMorphing articulations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"xch-feature\"\u003eKey switch articulation sets for every musical context\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"xch-feature\"\u003eNatural string change legato\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"xch-feature\"\u003eComposer-Crafted ensembles with different voicing combinations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"xch-feature\"\u003e70-Piece Symphonic String Ensemble Recorded on a Hollywood-scale scoring stage for unmatched depth and realism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"xch-feature\"\u003e48 Microphones \/ 4 Positions Includes exclusive Bleed Mics for true orchestral resonance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"xch-feature\"\u003eSeamless Articulation Transitioning (S.A.T.)
