Adastra Chamber Strings


Real. Passionate. Chamber Strings

Adastra Chamber Strings is intimate expression, emotion, and passion at your fingertips. More than a collection of violins, violas, cellos, and basses, it is a window into the depths of human emotion. Imagine a musical palette designed to reflect your most profound artistic dreams. Let these strings become the vivid colors that paint your compositions with the hues of human pathos.

Adastra Chamber Strings includes 6 Violins, 3 Violas, 3 Cellos, and 2 Basses recorded in a stunning stone church. These smaller sections, roughly half the size of the Adastra Ensemble Strings, provide an intimate and clear sound. They highlight finer nuances from each musician: vibrant vibrato, dramatic dynamics, passionate legato, and more.

Adastra Chamber Strings offers a diverse range of legato styles, from the luminous sparkle found in John Williams' film compositions to the profound evocative depth characteristic of James Horner's work and beyond. Explore soulful sustains with expressive vibrato or embrace the serene stillness of non-vibrato. Precise, poignant shorts, and resonant, eloquent arcs.

Adastra is crafted with an unparalleled level of playability and emotional realism, standing as a testament to Soundpaint's dedication to elevating the art of music production. Take the reins of these strings with Soundpaint and embark on a journey beyond the stars.

Soundpaint is a free, new-generation, analog, sample engine that brings you closer than ever to the instruments with new sound morphing technology and infinite dynamic layers. With a slew of internal effects, up to 8 parts, a one-click randomizer, a new generation of keyswitches, and intuitive organization, Soundpaint makes it easy to combine and create brand new sounds - instantly. Soundpaint also includes a free editor, allowing you to import and map out your own sounds. We have made sure that Soundpaint is lightweight, so it will load fast and not slow down your project. It runs in all DAWs and supports all major plugin formats (VST, VST3, AU, AAX).

Soundpaint allows you to easily adjust a sound, from its speed to its starting point (offset), and even reverse with one click. The analog-style internal effects include multiple equalizers, delays, digital and analog distortion with tons of variety, filters, gates, and more. From the classic Lexi reverb emulation to the mystical shimmer verb, there is no end to the magic in Soundpaint. The simple, super-customizable keyswitches allow you to change and combine sounds, microphones, or entire instruments instantly. Velocity zoom expands any dynamic range to the full velocity range for ultra-detailed, felted softs and nuanced, punchy louds. With lightning-fast loading times, easy user preset program creation, and so much more, Soundpaint gives you everything you need, right at your fingertips.
