Overview

Moving. Expressive. Chamber Strings.

Overview

There's a subtle and certain magic that occurs when the right mics and the right preamps, in the right room, capture bow meeting string in just the right way. Heavyocity's goal, when developing Novo: Rhythmic Textures, was to capture that magic. Rhythmic Textures is the moving, expressive counterpart to 2017's Heavyocity Intimate Textures - focused on delivering carefully and deliberately crafted rhythmic elements, played together in intimate chamber string ensembles. From cellos layering sul pont tremolos over swells, to violin staccatos played over col legno tapping, Rhythmic Textures delivers 16 truly unique ensemble articulations within its string sample library, with 12+ GB of chamber strings content, production-ready for your next score.

Inspiring Environment

Heavyocity once again returned to the intimate confines of Reservoir Studios in NYC for Rhythmic Textures, capturing world-class players, performing in three and four person violin, viola, and cello ensembles. Working in conjunction with Award-winning Composer Jason Graves (Dead Space Series, Far Cry Primal, Tomb Raider), and acclaimed Film Score Mixer Satoshi Mark Noguchi (Lion, Lone Survivor, Oblivion), Heavyocity's Novo Rhythmic Textures achieves a level of richness and realism that is unprecedented in a chamber strings virtual instrument. This string sample library will make you feel like you're in the room with each key depressed, with every stroke of the bow, as Novo: Rhythmic Textures serves as the inspirational center of your next cinematic score.

Award-Winning Engine

A collection of thousands of meticulously-recorded samples is great, but what sets Heavyocity's virtual instruments apart are the serious sound-shaping capabilities of their engines. And the the award-winning NOVO engine is no exception. Armed with the pristine organic content from Rhythmic Textures, the ability to create synthetic-style strings and deeply-unique rhythmic pulses is right at your fingertips. From the awesome modulating power of the instrument's central MACRO CONTROL to the granular sample playback possibilities of CYCLE, the NOVO engine puts a cutting-edge arsenal of sound-design tools directly into the composer's hands.

What The Pros Say About Rhythmic Textures

Rhythmic Textures

Jason Graves
"Dead Space" Series, "Evolve", "The Order: 1886", "Tomb Raider", Far Cry Primal
"Partnering with Heavyocity to produce Rhythmic Textures made me feel like a kid in a musical candy store. I normally shy away from loop-based orchestral samples but I believe composers will find these instruments both inspirational and extremely versatile. I'm quite proud to be part of such a unique product."
Rhythmic Textures

Garry Schyman
BioShock, Dante's Inferno, Destroy All Humans, Torn (VR)
"Rhythmic Textures is not a replacement for your string library, instead it is one of those rare sample libraries that inspire ideas from the composer immediately upon playing them. The samples are rich and organic and very realistic sounding. When you play them you are immediately enticed to compose using these moody evocative smaller string ensembles, rich in mood and attitude and ideal for the composer who scores to picture. Best of all, they suggest ideas without dictating them. Highly recommended."
Rhythmic Textures

Austin Wintory
Assasin's Creed Syndicate, Captain Abu Raed, Grace, Grammy-Nominated Composer, Journey
"Rhythmic Textures definitely has Heavyocity & Jason Graves' signature all over it, in the best way. The basic bones of it, the actual samples recorded, are ripe with compelling motion, but then the ability to utterly mangle them from there forward is truly powerful. It was a joy to experiment and instantly profoundly useful."

Pads with motion, arpeggiations with character, and organic strings with drama round out this awesome library. From synths to musical beds, there is so much here to get excited about.
