The main focus of the Lyric Series String Quintet is to provide musical melody lines right out of the box. Additionally, our goal is to reduce workflow time as much as possible. While it is not a library that "does it all," we believe that the attention paid to enabling the creation of melodic lines makes this product an invaluable asset.

All Lyric Series String Quintet instruments (except the Romantic Guarnerius Violins) are analyzed for playing style and all three vibrato parameters (amount, speed, fade-in) are processed accordingly to provide the closest approximation to a real string quintet. Style.

There is no easy way to figure out the details by playing real strings, but what seems loud and clear is the sound that occurs when a string player plays longer intervals on the same strings. (Especially cello) It is not true portamento and does not always happen. It seems to occur most when the player needs to move the left hand up or down from its current position to achieve the note. We have calculated the specific probabilities of it occurring in certain types of playing styles and, to a certain extent, have successfully implemented them into the Lyric Series StringQuintet instrument. And it is all very dynamic depending on how you play.
