LA Scoring Strings (LASS) delivers an unprecedented level of expressiveness and realism in string sampling, designed to enhance real-time playability for composers and producers. Its core sound is built around Real Legato performance samples and a distinctive layered ensemble technique. Recorded individually in a professional film scoring studio, these ensembles feature different players to avoid the uniformity often heard in sampled strings, resulting in natural and cohesive small, medium, or large sections with authentic divisi ratios.

In addition to full sections, LASS includes solo instruments performed by the actual section leaders, providing a seamless blend rather than sounding like isolated guest soloists. The players were recorded in their precise seating positions on the scoring stage, mixed to reflect traditional orchestral seating, allowing users to achieve a richly detailed string mix right from the start. The careful recording and mixing process also ensures flexibility in panning with minimal phasing issues, supporting diverse mixing setups.

LASS maintains consistency across all patches and programming, so a sequence that sounds great on a first-chair patch will translate perfectly to the full ensemble without requiring MIDI adjustments. This efficiency is supported by a suite of advanced scripting tools, including Real Legato for smooth transitions, rhythm and accent humanization, intelligent trill triggering, timing randomization, customizable volume curves, alternate sample triggers to prevent repetition, and tuning control with randomization options. These features combine to offer users precise control over articulation, timing, and expression.
