Checking Out: Fractured Strings by Spitfire Audio
Amazing AIR Lyndhurst sampling
Great natural performances
Huge range of unique articulations
Easy to control GUI
Standard and Grid modes expand the instrument
Some tempo syncing where necessary is useful
The new scale mode provides instant arrangements
There is a learning curve so be prepared to put some time in, but it's worth it
Not everything is tempo synced which wasn't a concern for me, yet it might be for some

Fractured Strings aims to emulate the chamber style of Bleeding Fingers as showcased on shows like Frozen Planet II. What better way to do this than collaborate with Bleeding Fingers themselves. The sampling is pristine, the performances are immaculate and the overall library is one of character, magic and inspiration. This is not a standard library, yet it is so much more.
