Hyperion Strings Elements gets a Black Friday deal of 50% off, so this Soundiron string ensemble library for Kontakt Player comes to $49.50 until Dec 6, 2026.
It is a chamber string orchestra: 8 Violins, 6 Violas, 5 Cellos and 4 Double Basses, with a combined full-ensemble preset on top. The maker calls it a universal library, aimed at composers, students, producers, songwriters, teachers, arrangers and bands alike.
Soundiron describes the sound as forward and strong, with a wide dynamic range you can shape to a genre. It can also be layered with other strings to fatten up a big arrangement.
The library ships with 9 master presets covering the Ensemble, Violins, Violas, Cellos and Basses. The Elements Edition covers these articulation groups:
The short articulations carry 4 round-robins per note, with optional velocity or swell control and automatic time-based switching.
The True Legato presets blend lush vibrato and clean non-vibrato, recorded in piano, mezzo-forte and forte. You can switch between agile fingered transitions and smooth glissando transitions, and the speed control can adapt to how you play or be set by hand.
The Expressions are modular. They offer dynamically aware release-sample triggering, tempo-syncing and time-stretching, and the Offset and Attack controls let you reshape the dynamic curve.
The interface has soundstage positioning for each section, with dozens of rooms, halls, chambers and FX environments, so you can dial in the placement and character you need. There are also key-switch and mapping options, Play Assist and Arpeggio systems, plus articulation maps, seating arrangements and FX chains.
The library holds 20,148 samples, recorded at 24-bit, 48 kHz stereo, and takes up 10 GB installed in lossless NCW format. It is built for the free Kontakt Player (version 6.0.1 or later) and also runs in full Kontakt as VST, AU or AAX. It works with Komplete Kontrol and NKS hardware and software, and registration goes through Native Access.
For PC you need Windows 7 or higher, and for Mac OS X 10.12 or higher. Soundiron recommends a dual-core CPU, 3 GB or more of RAM and a SATA or SSD drive.
