From the Intimate To The Astral

Hyperion Strings Ensemble is an orchestral string scoring library with brilliant sound, expressive control, and adaptive performance features.

It’s loaded with a massive array of dynamic long and short articulations, fingered true legato and portamento, emotive dynamic expressions, tremolo, runs, trills, flautando, ponticello, harmonics, chromatic and aleatoric effects, and creative sound-design elements. It's a complete string scoring solution right at your fingertips, with everything you'll need to shape your own sound.

Hyperion Strings Ensemble
Explore a broad selection of crescendos, decrescendos, vibrato-clean transition, hairpins, sforzandos, and swells to create nuanced and realistic movements.</p>   <p>Each section includes plenty of long and short chromatic and aleatoric effects, including runs, bridge bowing and plucks, runs, slides, clusters, tension beds, cacophonies, stabs, stingers, risers, falls, percussion and more.
bring each instrument into focus, making it the perfect choice for adding definition and personality to any arrangement.  The Far Hall has a lush, vintage quality with a deep, dark concert hall sound that harkens back to golden age mid-century classical recordings.
The Shorts include long & dotted 8th-note staccatos, 16th & 32nd-note short staccatos, 32nd & 64th-note spiccatos and loose & tight pizzicato plucks, with up to 8 round-robins, velocity/swell control, and auto speed-switching for realism and precision. You'll also find fx shorts like loose & tight Bartok pitz snaps and Col Legno bow taps, tremolo and trill stacs, and many other specialized variations.
The Close position delivers a modern, bold cinematic tone that also forms the basis for our Micro and Elements editions, but we’ve dialed back the processing in this Ensemble edition to achieve a more natural quality, letting it breathe and move freely. The Mid Hall blend is a wide omni array with velvety character, relaxed dynamics, and soft highs that falls easily into place in classic movie soundtracks.

REVIEWS & ENDORSEMENTS

WHAT THE PRO'S SAY...

Ramin Djawadi (Game of Thrones, Westworld)

"Hyperion Strings Elements is an incredibly accessible strings library with all the desired standard articulations. The sound is vibrant and clear, and the interface is top notch. Overall, it’s a great tool for sequencing strings quickly and cleanly."

Ramin Djawadi (Game of Thrones, Westworld)
Inon Zur (Fallout, Dragon Age, and Price of Persia Series)

”I have recently started working with Soundiron Hyperion Strings Elements library. I found them very useful and very easy to work with. Two of the things I liked the most are – they tend to be very bright, and this really helps when layering them on top of other strings sound. It gives it this brightness that brings the strings sound alive! Not many libraries have this sonority and I was looking for this layer. This library definitely gives you numerous ways to change and enhance the sounds in a very natural way. Highly recommended!”

Jacob Yoffee (Composer Bel Air)

"The interface alone has made this one of the most useful string libraries. It's so easy to manipulate the sound and space that it's already become part of my regular template. The arpeggiator is perfect!"
