The sample is not malleable enough and does not offer the flexibility of Frikton and the Swam Engine. ), and there's always a time when the sound doesn't match what I have in mind. I have lots of sample-based string plugins (Embertone Intimate Strings, Chris Hein Ensemble Strings. Modelled strings, and other modelled instruments, are compact and have their uses but there is a reason that modelled instruments are very much in the minority.įriktion has become my all time favorite plugin because it makes me feel like I'm playing the real instruments. You could spend hours with the controls in Friktion and still never match the realism of a properly produced sample library. Strings are all about articulations, expressiveness and nuance. SWAM strings are about as good as modelled strings get but if you are looking for realism then both SWAM and Friktion are blown away by most decent Kontakt libraries.
