benonistudio.com Action Strings from Native Instruments and Sonuscore is an epic, orchestral string library for Kontakt. Learn it all in this single video.
Action Strings contains 154 string phrases that were played by a full orchestra. This is what makes the phrases sound so realistic when you use this library in your compositions.
With Action Strings you can quickly compose cinematic scores in no time. This library is great for movie and TV music, game scores, trailers, and anything that needs some added drama or action.
In this video I will go over everything you need to know about Action Strings. You will learn how to play phrases, switch between Major or Minor with velocity, trigger different phrases, load phrases, load themes, add reverb, eq, and everything else.

Amazing piece of 10GB instrument. I am having lots lots of fun with it. All phrases are inspiring. This instrument alone has inspired me to make 5 complete compositions. NI is the best VST developer but their support needs some improvements. :)

[@Ahmad-Mounir44]

@Andy Man Yes unfortunately, just one voice. Why do you even need different voices for Ostinatos anyways? Ostinato is just a repeated pattern over and over through the entire piece. I see no reason to use different voices for that. I would instead use different voices in long and short articulations. I don't think you can use your existing voices in it.

[@Ahmad-Mounir44]

@Andy Man Don't feel sorry. I was a beginner too and I wasn't born a John Williams. Just keep studying and orchestrating. You will get there. Trust me. It just needs your dedication. Wish you the best !

[@Ahmad-Mounir44]

@Andy Man Also, I want to clarify something more. These phrases that you hear in this VSTi are called "Ostinato" patterns. You can create your own patterns using other different strings libraries but it will be a manual method. That's why they create a pre-made list of Ostinato patterns for you to quickly use them out of the box.

[@Ahmad-Mounir44]

@Andy Man I hope the same to you too bro :) Thanks

[@skemsen]

Most brilliant guide ever! Thank you so much or making this!

[@sktru89]

so can you create your own melody with action strings

[@purpledream9]

Only usd for rytmic patern not bad Not usd to play melody teme

[@vittoriobarbaro5527]

Hi, I tried to record at 65 BPM but it seems the strings don’t play on time. How is it possibile?

[@MustacheVerra]

You make good tutorial. All that is missing is a sexy British accent and you would get all kinds of tutorial gigs. ;-)

[@BenoniStudio]

I guess I could put on a British accent. But I'd do a really strong, awful one like in Mary Poppins. Chip chip cheerio gov'na! Don't forget the crispy bits! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJDVh614qZdjhJI 🤣

[@petersalazar9228]

Do you have a action strings 2 review?

[@BenoniStudio]

Not at this time. Maybe in the future 👍

[@GeneAkimoff]

Is it possible to end a phrase with a sustained note, like a half note or a whole note? thank you, great tutorial

[@MustacheVerra]

Wondering the same thing.

[@Ahmad-Mounir44]

You can always do that the manual way. Just assign different long artic. track, edit your phrase to stop at bar x, and record your long that you want. Thanks to MIDI for editing LMAO

[@Proktor44]

will be better if you can see midi how they play not only line

[@marcozanzeri6749]

Thanx for this very useful guide. One question...is it possible to play 2 phrases at the same time? and how can this be done? Thank you

[@LA7Rose]

as far as i know, no, u have to load another channel

[@ediggz537]

How do you turn down or turn up the BPM?

[@BenoniStudio]

In the DAW or in Kontakt directly if using stand-alone.

[@ronnyb5890]

got this one,,sonuscore the orchestra is still better

[@BenoniStudio]

Sonuscore makes both. The Orchestra of course has many more options.
