Samplemodeling Solo, Chamber & Ensemble Strings
Video Tutorials
Dear Samplemodeling friends, our instruments are complex, and although they offer virtually endless possibilities, best result are obtainable only after careful study of the manual first, in particular of the rescalers, controllers, keyswitches, remappers etc. Even this, however, may not be sufficient. As with the real thing, playing techniques suitable for string instruments must be learned, practiced and mastered.
Since doing this without a guide may involve a steep learning curve and lead to some frustration, we open this new page, "Tutorials", in order to make you quickly familiar with technical and practical aspects concerning the use of these instruments.
We planned to provide you with three series of tutorials. D'mitry Goriuk will introduce you to the realm of technical aspects, like controllers, keyswitches and their proper use, with practical examples. Ramiro Gómez Massetti will mainly focus on playing techniques, tips and tricks and practical examples showing how to make the instruments sound like real strings.
