We set out to record both sectional and solo strings, performing an in-depth palette of articulations with a modern yet expressive playing style and recorded with great studio gear. After almost a year of painstaking sessions, recordings, editing and programming Muse Strings is ready to take your compositions to new levels of realism. The collection is designed with a consistent set of articulations across all sections and instruments. Expressive sustains, true legato, portamento and fast run samples bring your melodic lines to new heights. Trills have been recorded up to a perfect 5th, which can add a wonderful colour to your score. There’s an array of short notes, with speed controlled staccatos and staccatissimos, pizzicatos (including snap/Bartok pizz) and col legno to add energy and motion into your composition. Marcatos, accents, senza vibrato sustains, as well as sustains played “sul tasto” and “sul ponticello” round out this impressive collection. From energetic action sequences to romantic scenes, Muse Strings brings emotion and realism to your score.
Muse Sounds require no set up or effort to work with - simply write your music and push play.
Best of all, Muse Strings is completely FREE for you to use in your compositions.
Made with ❤️ by Muse.

The sections sound pretty good, exept for some parts on second Violins, and solo Instruments sound not quite as good as the should, but definitely better than the standard ones, fix that and it would be pretty much perfect.

Another cool upgrade this could use is to have proper tremolos on double (and multi-Note) Stops work correctly.

The sound quality, particularly in the piano/piano-forte range sound terrible. A very noticeable "buzz" sound occurs, which a recording quality issue. Not only that, but you can here things such as someone dropping a pin in the recording when at piano or piano-piano. Dynamics are crazy and must be edited in the mixer. The legato isn't very noticeable. The solo strings, however, sound pretty good and the legato is pronounced. A solo contrabass might be a good future update. Though the soloists sound a little strange, I've been able to implement them pretty regularly with detail.
I used to think they sounded awful, like they were doubled, but that bug can be fixed by adding the "mute" performance direction to the score... dunno why. After doing so they sound alright.
The violins, especially the solo ones, sound like trumpets bought on Temu and played by a 2-year-old elephant… What a disappointement: the previous MuseStrings were a lot better. Please improve them.
Doesn’t sound anything like a violin. More like someone playing on a saw
Good ensemble performance, while solo needs some improvement (especially both violin I and II solo which sound really weird). And, yes, a more aggressive play option is welcome.
If this pack had an option for strings to play a little more aggressively, it'd be perfect
All seems to be well. The Violin does sound a bit strange, but leaps better than the MS Sounds Violin. It sounds much better in full sections than in solos. If you frequently compose using string-sections, this is a must.
The sound is weird. i feel like its different from previous update but i couldn't pin point what's different.
