can that sound be played with a pitch bend wheel? Can i pithc bend it while playing like in oriental string melodies? Thanks, Harri
I bought the disco strings and Phoenix brass for EXS24 and I guess I can manually export/import them into my new Yamaha Modx. But it would be much simpler if I could buy the sounds with some kind of discount. Is that possible ?
Hi ! Thank you so much for this.This is definitely the sound i was looking for. I just had a couple questions for the kontakt version. I’ve tried without success to reproduce the presets that the other versions have ; A01 : Disco Strings ( with falls ), A02 : Attack Strings, A03 : Super Strings, A04 : Falls Strings, A05 : Tremolo Strings, A06 : Arco Strings, A07 : Slow Strings, A08 : Disco Strings ( w/o falls )
I would LOVE to be able to add tremolos and falls to my strings for certain projects i’m working on ! I read all the comments on here and went on the FAQ and even tho it is explained in certain of the comments, I can’t seem to obtain any results on the DAW that i’m using. ( I’m using FL studio). Is it possible to recreate these presets on kontakt and be able to use them on a DAW and if so, how could I achieve it ? Thanks so much for your help 🙂 !!
Please prepare version for Yamaha Montage/MODX?
Thanks.
Montage & MODX can read Motif Format.
Best
I have a midi usb controller and Yamaha cs6x. Can I use this with either. I wish this was available for iOS.
Thanks
On my iphone / ipad I easily imported the disco strings for EXS24 with the app AudioLayer and can play them live. Excellent ! 🙂
That sounds amazing. How did you get the EXS24 files into the ipad or iphone – audio share?
You Need the esx24 sampler from logic or mainstage.
There go to the edit Button .
Here you can export the esx24 DiscoStrings over the iCloud in the folder of the iOS App „AudioLayer „.
AudioLayer can direct open most esx24 patches without Problem.
Best regards, Chris
Is there a standard multi sample wav pack of this (which I can just sample)?
Thanks
Gareth
Hi, kontakt format or exs24 are the most standard pack.
I have a Yamaha MODX7. Which version of samples should I purchase, XF or XS?
MODX is fully compatible with the Yamaha MOTIF XF.

Can you load these samples in Structure in pro tools?
No, I don’t support Structure Sampler
Hi I just bought the sample Library for Kontakt and the strings sound amazing,
But since I don’t use Kontakt that often, I don’t know how to activate different “sample” sets.
For example my strings sound very normal, but I want them to have that “fall” effect for which I bought them. But the Kontakt Player has just so many options that I don’t know where to change that haha.
Kind regards Jason
