I had no idea it was the follow up to session strings.

[DjdMenis]

Freakin awesome so far. Takes the original sessions to the next level.

[bengsynthmusic]

Very good. I was looking for a clean-sounding modern string, and this appears to be it. Lovely UI too. Just ordered.
- Thanks NI

[TheWolfHarvest]

I bought it in pre order, without thinking... I do not regret
- Thanks NI!

SESSION GUITARIST 3: BOSSA NOVA (PLEASE)

[easylisteningdave]

This is off topic but how do you view the individual midi notes. I can only get kontakt 5 to view just a single bar in my daw and I can't edit individual notes. Do you know of a tutorial about that. thanks

When taking a closer look, I found out quickly: There is no access to individual instruments, thats a huge drawback. The sounds are like the library ... a little bit poor, BUT in the background for pop, R&B, dance tracks (as described) probably enough.

[gdrugg]

are you able to automate the different “techniques?” like say you want pizzicato on one part of a song and tremolo on another part. do you have to just create a new track and open kontakt again?

[slightlymad]

what is the software on the left that shows the piano and the midi? is this via kontakt or via daw? i can't get ANY controls on the wheel or aftertouch to - nothing! Thaks!

[victornoagbodji]

🤔 is it possible to define your own range for the instruments?

[ABE]

I wonder if 50-piece string ensemble will be possible for Session Strings 3.

Hello!! How to program the expression automation? I’ve tried several times but didn’t work. I have written the automation line on logic but session strings 2 will not read it. I did not understand how to link it.

[jackiedragonfly]

Question - Is the Novation Launchkey MK3 (49 or 61 keys) sensitive enough in the key velocity to use for these articulations (like the tremolo/crescendi example), or should I get the more expensive Novation SL MKIII to have more quality keys and aftertouch?
Basically - will these subtleties work with any mid-price MIDI, or can this be a problem?
Perhaps I should contact Native Instruments directly. But they will probably advise getting their Komlpete Kontrol MIDI, and I don't like that one at all - no faders, no pads, just another little computer screen... I already have a computer 😂

[davidbueso]

Do I need to have this version if I have sessions strings pro 2?

[andesneko]

Please let us use coupons for upgrading...

[DOKOTV]

bought this. but how do I get that timeline like interface?

[sethfrommer]

My DAW doesn't automate the "expressions" module. Does anyone know how to fix that. I'm using Maschine MK3

[PJ-eemc]

I ike my Session Strings ll very much but I still cannot find a way to simply save the changes I have made to FX & articulations that suit a particular taste. It seems that any of the SAVE features that I see available take for ever to actually save the "patch", as if it is storing the entire instrument with all of its related samples. Maybe this is the nature of this sort of thing. I am pretty new to this but I was hoping that there would be a better way. Any thoughts on this?

[korbybohannon]

Is there no way to open a mixer and pan the individual instruments?

[nkokkiboy]

Unrelated to this video, how do I make expression on session strings 2 please?
