Heavyocity Media has recently released a new evocative virtual instrument that merges the intimacy of solo strings with the company’s award-winning sound design.
Capturing the intricate ostinato performances of solo violin, viola and cello, Ostinato Textures delivers the nuance and phrasing of a live player while infusing motion and emotion into modern scores.
With 20 multi-sampled, unique articulations per instrument and over 140 hybrid presets, Ostinato Textures invites composers to add delicately intimate figures and evolving rhythmic textures to their music.
With Ostinato Textures, we wanted to capture that intimate motion that draws you deeper into a piece of music. You can hear every detail – the bow on the strings, the rosin, the resonance of the wood – adding a depth and focus to your string parts that amplifies their emotional impact. – Ari Winters, Creative Director, Heavyocity
