Firefly Strings
A heavily processed string instrument.

The story
The sample i started with was from another pack i uploaded a while back of a single bowed violin. The sample was then processed in form and slowed down, from here i then used the auto sample plugin in logic pro to render out the exs instrument file. The samples and maps were imported into decent sampler and from here an initial .dspreset file was created.

Firefly?
I shall... set the seas ablaze- wait, that's not Firefly I was thinking- Now this is Firefly I was looking for! Nice ambient strings, great use for a background element, and atmospheric sounding.
Not for the faint of heart ;-)
These are just "OMG get out of my way" drone sounds, perfect for when you need your pad to be a 9 foot thick mattress.
String drones from hell!
This is one of the most interesting instruments I've encountered on PB lately. With the size not even reaching 90MB, I was not expecting such a big and detailed sound. And that sound very textured, aggressive and with a big cinematic feel. The lows are deep and hell-like drones, the highs are crisp and intimate, and the mids just give you the chills.
The minimal yet beautifully designed GUI is a perfect match, and it's not only about looks. The Attach and Release settigns are always good to have, the included Reverb is awesome, and you also get to have a chorus knob that enhances the textures, and two fliters (high and low pass).
It is simply an incredible instrument, it is offered completely for free through DecentSampler, AND it comes in a ridiculously small size! Highly recommended, hands down!
