Join us here on Monday 25th November, 6pm GMT (Premiere to be posted soon) for the launch of our next product and Black Friday Sale.

[@PraiseTracks]

Beautiful! Great to see Dan back on the channel.

[@grasped2]

Wait. I thought he was working for Spitfire? Or just as a freelancer?

[@PraiseTracks]

@@grasped2 Dan had done some work for Spitfire in the past but has launched out to do more on his own. He is tremendously talented, and I wish him all of the very best, looking forward to seeing more of what he has been up to lately.

[@grasped2]

@@PraiseTracks that's awesome 👀

[@NigelDThompson]

@@PraiseTracks Here, Here Simeon...Like you, he is one of my fav talents on music making chat on youtube and comes across as a thoroughly nice bloke to boot. That's most likely how he got to work with Spitfire and then Take That's Gary Barlow via an intro from the inimitable Christian Henson co founder of Spitfire.

[@micwarren21]

Your company always amazes me with the free instruments you make available to us composers. Beautifully sounding patches. Thank you fractured sounds.

[@NathanSMadsen]

That opening chord so reminded me of On the Nature of Daylight. Beautiful library!

[@fracturesounds]

What a compliment, thanks so much!

[@jond3132]

It's quite similar to the chords in Max Richter's Late and Soon, actually, another of his beautiful pieces.

[@MathHammer]

Amazing to this dabbler that these libraries are free. Dan is an excellent host with a very calming and attention-keeping voice. Subscribed.

[@fracturesounds]

Thanks for the subscribe!

[@nathan.rodrigues]

Beautiful! Cannot believe that this is free - thanks!

Please Blueprint Choir library

[@zaharishtonov]

Knowing them, they will! 😊

[@rowegardner9673]

Yes and please go crazy with weird articulations that can be useful for horror games/films if you do a choir library!! Side note: I think they’d knock a full horror library out of the park with their attention to detail and it’s hard to find good, performable vocal sounds for horror.

[@DesoloZantas]

Does this mean we can expect a full Solo Strings library equivalent to the Brass in the future? If so, please, oh please, include articulations where the strings are incredibly tight and short. I often write fast and agile pieces, and while legato might struggle to keep up, having short notes that can convincingly mimic rapid movements would be a lifesaver!

[@fracturesounds]

Yes, we're dropping it next Monday, 25th November. It's very much focused on a certain style of composing, so no extremely short samples in this project, but like the Brass Brand Soloists the Legato is very fluid.

[@dustintheblacklight]

"..because actually the silece is really beautiful as well.." YES, with no doubt the silence is the best sound I have ever heard :-)

[@marylewis3311]

It is round robin’d too 🤫😉

[@mikrokosmiko1]

You absolutely nailed the style with that piece. Nice trick with that sine wave bass!

[@fracturesounds]

Dan always nails it!

[@lifebysenses]

Hearing you talking about hertz, nasal frequencies, low ends, mono makers... really shows me how little I currently know about producing and all in between... It's nearly zilch really! 😄 Thank you for providing these great libraries for free 🙏

[@Tomanut]

You even got MULTIPLE ARTICULATIONS! Wasn't expecting that. I like the direction you are going. Also considering buying one of your libraries if I need it.

[@dustintheblacklight]

The library sounds nice and details of your track processing are very helpful. Thanks.

[@ilfman]

I love what you guys did with BRASS BAND, looking forward to the new library!

[@michaelhackethal8187]

Beautiful example, Dan! Thanks for this inspiring strings library!

[@kelvynification]

That’s a very interesting string sound - in a good way - would fit perfectly in a Peter Greenaway type film.

[@makingmusiconline2309]

I already had all the Blueprint libraries but I'm so impressed with these and your paid libraries (I want solo brass, but I'll wait for next year's Black Friday sale ... a proper british brass band has such a beautiful sound and your solo library is totally yummy ... but I don't have a project to use it on until next year's folk album)

[@joegrint6280]

Thanks for another great instrument!

[@supersayen0679]

What is the black midi controller used at 1:10? Looks like it probably has better precision than my korg nanokontrol.

[@fracturesounds]

[@eDrumsInANutshell]

Same question by me. I reached the point were I grabbed 4 faders and an Arduino Pro Micro and hacked in some code from the NerdMusician here on YT. After the day I bought a 3D printer for the case, I thought it would have been better just to buy a neat controller. I mean my DIY thing is working but... add a display, add a sustain button... add RGB lighting. So what is it?

[@JeffreyBoggie]

Looks like one of the Sparrow models from a company called MIDIMaker.

[@JeffreyBoggie]

Oops, missed the link :).

[@JozsefHorvathBarcza]

Thank You for make it available for really free for Kontakt Player! ❤

[@fracturesounds]

We have Native Instruments to thank for that!

[@quetzalmarchiori]

Great little gem! Thanks for sharing it!!!

[@Duskydog419]

Just Beautiful 🥲🥰

[@jeanrenaudviers]

Nice sound AND nice composition.

[@drew6524]

that the dan effect

[@Kudaquashe]

Thanks as always. Good music!

[@marylewis3311]

I love it. Great work all 🙏❤️🙏

[@MattStevens9824]

SO beautiful!

[@Sirwilmusic]

I absolutely love you guys!!!

[@vincenzofiordilinomancuso441]

Amazing sound 😊

[@fredmassinger4855]

Very good vidéo for very good free VST ! Merci beaucoup ! 🎼🎵🎶🎻👏👍

[@Studeep]

13:23 Anyone else notice Logic screen capture is leaning to the left every so slightly? Dan breaking all the rules as usual 🤣

[@screamingswifts]

Cheers, Fracture Sounds!

[@martijnvanbeek4387]

Wonderful library Dan! Good to see you back on YT. I am now installing this library in Kontakt 7. Just one question: making the frequencies under 100 Hz mono should help to getting less rumble in the low end? Just a beginner so I am just asking this question

[@seventearsofhope]

Thats incredible. Thank you so much!

[@NigelDThompson]

Nice job, Dan. Good to see you. Hope it’s all going well. I assume it must be as we don’t see many of these wonderful vids from you these days.😔

[@fracturesounds]

He's a very busy man, we were lucky to catch him!

[@MichaelDowComposer]

Beautiful sounds as usual wonderintg will there be bass in the full product... Often products miss out bass which means you have to use somehing else which will have a different tone.

[@MichaelDowComposer]

Unbeleivable to have somethign that sounds this good for free though isn't it. Thank you!

[@alexmurphynj]

Great video and beautiful sounding instruments. New sub here.

[@fracturesounds]

Thanks for the sub!

[@drew6524]

those big c g e~above and g eb bb left hand chord inversions are an excellent way to make clear yet strong chords which stand out and torture my performers~ are you a pianistic composer and are your acoustic comps online? love to hear it! (also yes ppl noticed how the petrichor concepts are now fractures modus default . make sure your contributions are recognized)

[@XentiirMusic]

Outstanding job once again Fracture Sounds. I just have one quick question though.... Black Friday sale when???

[@screamingswifts]

25th of November

[@kaysmusic5865]

Very appealing sound - will download. I'm already a solid Fracture Sounds fan and own most of your libraries. I have this question: when you showed glimpses of the Piano Roll Editor, I saw that the string chords were perfectly aligned, vertically and horizontally. Is this a setting in String? Or is it a Logic setting? In the past, I've spent hours manually correcting such chords in the past.

Ding Ding Ding! Pavlovian Sample Library Response

[@ABE2000]

This is way more accurate of that Solo Strings. ^^

[@ericdanielhaley]

How is this free?! Sounds beautiful!

[@fracturesounds]

Because we're nice (and also Native Instruments are nice).

[@drew6524]

@@fracturesounds thanks so much! it matters

[@philipmark]

Where to get that Mod faders?

[@AntonMochalin]

Wait weren't you playing Max Richter in the beginning of the video?

[@AlekSaltproduction]

To play chords on any strings is a bad idea, each note should be played separately to make the whole ensemble sound realistic

[@nicomuziek]

Blueprint is great. Question. Wich midi (faders) controler do you use?

[@darrenelkins5923]

nice whats the slider box used for dynamic response? thanks

[@fracturesounds]

Dynamic Response controls how much the volume of the instrument is affected by Dynamics Modulation. In other words, at 100% if you pull the Mod Wheel on your keyboard (MIDI CC1 or the Dynamics Knob) down to zero, there will be silence. It's a great way to fine tune how you want the dynamics to respond.

[@darrenelkins5923]

@@fracturesounds Ah, I see. Thanks for that What is the black box with sliders you use in front of your controller keyboard?

[@fracturesounds]

@@darrenelkins5923 Going to start pinning this to every video! nativevs.bigcartel.com/product/vs_faderbox-batch-8

[@darrenelkins5923]

@@fracturesounds Ooops sorry. But thanks!

[@jubinroy4987]

Missing atmosphere. Would have been great if there was 3 knobs to adjust volume of each solo instrument separately

[@fracturesounds]

We tend to avoid doing Atmosphere Layers for libraries with short articulations like this one, but we can certainly look at doing that for a future Blueprint with solo strings.
