Berlin, Germany, May 24, 2022 — Orchestral Tools have announced Berlin Con Sordino Strings, the latest in their industry-leading Berlin series sample libraries. The announcement comes as part of a larger initiative from the sample library designers focused on their string offerings, which also includes a new bundle that compiles all the Berlin Strings collections, important content updates to Berlin Symphonic Strings, and the availability of Berlin Strings SFX on SINE. In addition to these, Orchestral Tools has also unveiled a major upgrade to SINEplayer that ensures a smoother, more responsive user experience than ever before. The brand will be discussing all of these announcements and more at their Berlin Premiere event, which is live on YouTube now.
Berlin Con Sordino Strings
Berlin Con Sordino Strings expands Orchestral Tools’ string libraries into a new realm, expertly capturing the sound of large ensembles playing with mutes. The result is a richly textured collection of gentle string sounds with a wide range of articulations ideal for softer timbres, delicate compositions, or for simply adding a rounder texture to layered orchestration. As with all Orchestral Tool Berlin-series libraries, Berlin Con Sordino was painstakingly recorded at the Teldex Scoring Stage with the utmost attention to detail and sound quality. Berlin Con Sordino is available now for a special intro price of €349 (regular price €499). It is also included as part of the Berlin Strings bundle. For more information, please click here.
Berlin Strings bundle
The Berlin Strings bundle brings together all of Orchestral Tools’ beautifully detailed string collections into one discounted package, making it the ultimate string sample library for any composer. The bundle includes Berlin Strings, Berlin Symphonic Strings, the brand new Berlin Con Sordino Strings, First Chairs, Special Bows 1 and 2, and Berlin Strings SFX to cover a myriad of section sizes and playing styles, with over 550 available articulations in total.

Berlin Strings SFX on SINE
Expanding outside of the strictly melodic, Berlin Strings SFX puts a vast library of string effects in the hands of any composer or sound designer. With a playability and versatility not found in a collection of one-shot samples, the collection emphasizes hands-on expression and endless possibilities across thousands of risers, effect glissandos, clusters, and measured trills. Berlin Strings SFX is available on SINE now for a special intro price of €179, and it is also included as part of the Berlin Strings bundle. For more information, please click here.
