Soundiron describes Ancient Greek Strings as a fantastic collection of 7 deeply sampled stringed instruments that delve into the historic roots of Western musical traditions, stretching back thousands of years. This library features a Barbiton, Cithara, Lyre, Goat Horn Lyre, Pandura, Phorminx and Trigonon. The company says that each piece was hand-crafted by master craftsman Panagiotis Stefos of LyrAvlos in Athens and that Stefos and his team played each instrument, all recorded in exquisite detail by producer John Valasis.
This library includes flexible GUI features, with independent close and overhead mic positions, a wide selection of chromatic and special effect articulations and a bank of 20 sound-designed ambiences and custom fx presets created from the raw acoustic source for added texture and creative potential. It's made for the full retail version of Kontakt 5.5 or later.
