Checking Out: Nightfall for Kontakt Player by Realitone
Realitone has officially released Nightfall, the darker, more sinister follow up to one of my favourite string libraries, Sunset Strings. I loved Sunset Strings as it was a completely new take on string libraries, focusing on evocative textures and sound design. The use of crossfading between layers was a great innovation when paired with the vast amount of articulations. The pre-release of Nightfall takes these ideas, but focuses on a darker, hybrid approach that fellow contributor Raborn Johnson described as “a fantastic library in every way”. The full release version features more loops, more presets, more booms and even more modwheel innovations. If dark, moody strings are your thing, let’s take a closer look at what is new in this full release of Nightfall.
Sunset Strings was a true innovation for me. After a lot of use, I’m really thrilled that Nightfall has been created as a follow up. A lot of my work surrounds dark tension and crime. Often strings are used although organic strings are not always what I’m looking for. In walks Nightfall and suddenly a whole new world of hybrid string options are opened up. While hybrid strings are nothing new, Nightfall manages to be unique with it’s modwheel innovations, huge sample pool and carefully constructed presets. With the ability to make your own presets, the sky is the limit where creating new hybrid strings is concerned. This is a great library that should be in every media composers toolkit.
