Benjamin Wallfisch Strings–official walkthrough

Join us for an in-depth look at the world of sound offered in our brand-new state-of-the-art string collection.

Created with award-winning composer Benjamin Wallfisch, this collection redefines contemporary sampled strings, setting a new standard for realism and expression. Write for strings like you would for a live orchestra—with no compromises.

With loop-free long notes, a consistently dynamic sound, divisi for all sections, upbow and downbow strokes, 5 dynamic layers, an atmos mic setup, and a mix curated by Benjamin Wallfisch, these strings are the new benchmark for contemporary film scoring.

You fixed the string legato! Especially the Violins and Violas. It sounds great.

Just picked up, My first Orchestral tool product, got the effects too, In Luna sounds Explosive Crazy Bad ass. Cubase 13 not bad, pumping surround, Will see how the maximus hero overclocked I9 with 128 unbuffered under the hood runs IT.😜

This is an insanely good update! If only the legato transitions were a bit smoother, this could possibly be the best thing out there!

I’ve been hoping and praying y’all would update BWS. I’ve wanted to use it since it was released. The articulations are *ABSOLUTELY* a big step in the right direction! Please update the legato patches. In my honest opinion, those are the only thing holding this library back from absolute greatness. I am 100% convinced this library would greatly benefit from a legato system similar to Berlin Symphonic Strings with its multiple legato types

Those strings have been in my template since day one, along sordinos strings, vasks and jxl brass! Love'em. 🙂

I don't like the legato runs passages. I think legatos in general in this collection need an updated...the shorts are good.

Great update! Thanks a lot for the extra articulations. It's like having 2 chamber orchestras in addition to the full orchestra. Wonderful new colours in the palette with the smaller divisi articulations. Now I can copy and paste the same MIDI between sections to the divis ones and find the right intensity/shade. One question before I update: I guess I have to delete the old and make new or redo my Mic merging after installation? The old Mic Merge files probably won't be compatible any more after the update?

@Orchestral-Tools Congratulations OT. Sounds really fantastic. What is main diffrence between this one and Berlin Symphonic Strings ? ..Also if i may i hope You dont forget about Your main flagship Berlin series and still will be updated from time to time ;)

[samirelborno]

Beautiful! Well done and congratulations to everyone involved! Cannot wait to put them through its paces.

[beeeethz]

Curious if the legato also been updated? I didn't see a mention of this in the update video.

[Physicks]

Sul Tasto or Fluatando and this will be perfect please?, great work and congratulations.

[HenryBCassidy]

Really crisp sounding samples, just the legato sounds very undefined and artificial

[JoshyG]

How good does this sound with measured tremolo's? Like if I had a passage at 160bpm and they are doing 16th notes, will this sound decent/real?

[UnofficialButTrue]

10:05 Sorry no. The short articulations are fine, but the legato is mediocre at best.
