LA Scoring Strings (LASS) 3.0 lite is on sale for $99. I’ve been looking for a new string library and wow this ticks a lot of boxes.
Small @ 4 gb
Runs in Kontakt player
Decently light on CPU unless you load up all the instruments at the same time
Zero Latency (cough cough soundpaint)
Lots of options for control of via velocity or midi cc
Polyphonic Legato
Shorts
Tremolo
Trills
Harmonics
First chairs
Doesn’t have the auto divisi of the full version, bc you get sections and the first chair, not the 3 part divisi… but it’s still great.
Only has a tone match for the Batman score, but it makes a crazy difference. And the reverb is quite beautiful.
I’m not one to piece part VSTi’s, but this one is good.
Especially at a 3rd the price.
