Binary Music announces the release of Solina String Ensemble sample library for Native Instruments Kontakt 4.

Originally manufactured in 1974, by Dutch company Eminent, and later, under licence by ARP, it was an immediate success across a wide spectrum of music, with users including David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Parliament, Air, Stevie Wonder, Elton John and The Cure.

Two distinct versions are included – one sampled with the original modulation and three round-robins per note, and one sampled without modulation, but with modulation recreated using Kontakt's scripting and effects.

Available as an instant download, price: £15.00 (approx. $23 U.S. or €18) + VAT in E.U.
