Performance Samples have once again put their sampling expertise to brilliant use with Pacific Ensemble Strings. This gorgeous, lush string ensemble is perfect for detailed orchestral compositions and will elevate any film score. Composer Marcus Manderson aka Da Fingaz guides us through this exciting new release.
UPDATE: The previous version of the video had a CC1 malfunction where it was not registering during the overview of the library. This has now been rectified in this new updated review. The demo uses a combination of CC1 and CC11 although the modwheel cannot be seen moving in the instrument despite modulation curves having been used. We would like to thank those who commented alerting us to this fact.
