Benjamin Wallfisch Strings

About this 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.
