Forums › DEALS › Virtual & Physical Music Gear Deals › 🆕 NEW: Osterhouse Sounds Penumbra Strings INTRO $48.30 (reg. $69)
PETER’S HOT TAKE: This sounds fantastic. I’m definitely going to have to add it. I’ve wrote it before and I’m writing it again, Ben Osterhouse is a very gifted, creative musician and sample developer. This is a great deal even at regular price.
Penumbra Strings features 12 complementary articulations recorded on 5 solo instruments, and arranged into a grid of tiles for easy mixing and matching. You can adjust sample start points, loop ranges, or reversing playback right in the canvas, and a panel of controls along the bottom allows you to shape the sound even more. A preset browser covers this bottom panel, and each of its presets reconfigures the entire instrument, selecting articulations above and setting all the controls below.
The presets are warped, heavily processed, and deliberately non-realistic. Penumbra strings is built for hybrid scoring or any context where you want string textures that don’t sound like a traditional section.
There are also some free sample libraries with your purchase.
