We are very happy to release OSR 2 today. We needed some "extra" time for additional recording-sessions with the orchestra to bring some of our visions into OSR 2. The update will not include additional basic-runs, because OSR has a huge amount of pre-recorded runs.

The newest and largest of all Kirk Hunter Studios' solo strings packages gives you 4 new solo sections which include 1st and 2nd chair (excluding solo bass). Coupled with innovative and progressive TVEC 3 programming, you will not find a more flexible and playable solo string library! One very nice feature is the way TVEC 3 handles the slides for Solo Strings 2. When you play a note, followed by another note you want to slide into (up or down), TVEC 3 knows whether to slide a lot or just a nudge. Also, the vibrato of the slide is now variable.

Time has changed and Kontakt 5 is a huge step forward for sample-developers like us. Orchestral String Runs uses special algorithms, scripts and modules to make it so flexible as possible. With a new update for OSR2-users, were happy to announce that all the tempo-synced patches are now working with the new and much better sounding TimeMachine Pro from Native Instruments.

The two volumes that comprise String Theory provide an up-to-date, comprehensive account of string theory. Volume 1 provides a thorough introduction to the bosonic string, based on the Polyakov path integral and conformal field theory. The first four chapters introduce the central ideas of string theory, the tools of conformal field theory, the Polyakov path integral, and the covariant quantization of the string. The book then treats string interactions: the general formalism, and detailed treatments of the tree level and one loop amplitudes.

Terms such as "expanding Universe", "big bang", and "initial singularity", are nowadays part of our common language. The idea that the Universe we observe today originated from an enormous explosion (big bang) is now well known and widely accepted, at all levels, in modern popular culture. But what happens to the Universe before the big bang? And would it make any sense at all to ask such a question? In fact, recent progress in theoretical physics, and in particular in String Theory, suggests answers to the above questions, providing us with mathematical tools able in principle to reconstruct the history of the Universe even for times before the big bang.

This DVD, will allow you to take a fresh look at the possibility of 12-string guitar. Chris Proctor offers a wide range of ideas and methods, and also shows its innovative technology in the instrument, in particular his revolutionary way of playing, using minimal movement for the left hand.
