The Intimate Textures: NOVO Pack 01 Black Friday deal takes 49% off Heavyocity's chamber string library for Kontakt, bringing it to $75 until Dec 18, 2026.
Intimate Textures is the first NOVO Pack. It pairs three and four person violin, viola and cello ensembles with Heavyocity's hybrid sound design, aimed at cinematic orchestral textures.
The ensembles were recorded at Reservoir Studios in NYC. Heavyocity describes the sound as clean and lyrical, with movement and texture in every note.
The maker pitches it at scoring for film, games and television. It also says the instrument can become part of a composer's template quickly, since it produces production-ready elements without much setup.
The focus is extended techniques. Creative ones include vibrato waves and octave pulses, alongside traditional extended articulations like sul tasto and sul ponticello.
The library is 14.2 GB uncompressed, or 9.46 GB on disk with NI lossless compression. It is a direct download only.
The violin section has 14 articulations, the violas have 15 and the celli have 14. Names across the sections include Sul Pont, Sul Tasto, Scrapes, Butterfly Tremolo, Droplets, Wavers, Shudders and Overtones.
The MACRO knob modulates and automates several parameters per channel at once: volume, pan, EQ, envelope and various effects. It sits at the front of the Texture Designer page.
The CYCLE page is the deeper option. Heavyocity describes it as a dynamic playback engine for rhythmic pulses, swells and granular-style pads inside a Kontakt-based instrument.
Each NOVO Pack uses the same engine, so the workflow carries across the series.
It runs stand-alone and as VST, AU and AAX. It is powered by the Kontakt 5 engine and needs Kontakt 5 (Player) version 5.6.8 or later. It is NKS-ready and integrated with Komplete Kontrol.
