There’s no shortage of freebies in The Crow Hill Company’s line-up, with their Vaults series offering a continually revolving selection of six free instruments. The latest arrival, though, forms a part of the company’s main product range, delivering a comprehensive sample library that’s been created to provide anybody with access to top-notch string sounds.
Pocket Strings captures the sound of a classical string section along with some classic ‘string machine’ synthesizers, and combines the two sets of sources in an instrument that allows users to craft everything from cinematic orchestral mock-ups to modern hybrid electronic sounds. Despite being given away for free, the company say that no corners were cut in the production of the library, and that it offers a truly professional sound and feature set that will arm anyone with the tools they need to create ‘Hollywood-grade’ scores.
