Kirk Hunter Solo

Actually, Spotlight Strings started out as "Solo Strings 3" back in 2008. I was experimenting with Kontakt's LFO abilities to simulate string vibrato. This was due to the fact that I wanted to be able to have the user manipulate vibrato in any way so as to suit his or her needs. At that time, it seemed there was really no way to realistically alter vibrato speed, intensity or fade-in time in real time by merely using samples and crossfading. So LFO manipulation seemed to be the solution. And also at that time, it seemed to me that there was just no convincing way to simulate a good string player's vibrato using Kontatk's LFO's back then. It was ok, but not good enough.

FRONT ROW VIOLINS reinvents everything you know about virtual violin instruments. Designed for Native Instrument's Kontakt, the core of Front Row is focused on simplicity and unbelievable sonic results. FRONT ROW packs an amazingly playable solo violin along with easy scalability to go from solo through to any section size of violinists you choose ranging from the single soloist to 16 players.

Concert Brass 2, the newest of all Kirk Hunter Studios' brass packages gives you 4 brass libraries in one. Coupled with innovative and progressive TVEC programming for Kontakt, you will not find a more flexible and playable great sounding brass library!

Kinetic Brass Plus. Create Sophisticated Patterns with No Musical Theory Training Necessary.

Recorded at the First Presbyterian Church, Santa Monica where A-list Los Angeles-based orchestras record and perform.

The main focus of the Lyric Series String Quintet is to provide musical, melody lines right out of the box. Further, it is our goal to shorten your workflow time as much as possible. It's not a "do everything" library, but we feel that the attention to being able to create melodic lines makes this product a very valuable asset.

Diamond is a very large full-orchestral package. Simply put, Diamond combines Ruby with Emerald, so it is like getting 2 complete orchestras in one package. This is complete Basses from Strings Section of Diamond Symphony Orchestra.

After the 2014 release of Spotlight Solo Strings, which included 4 individual players, the idea came to create a library that could address even more; up to 16. Enter Concert Strings 3 which is comprised of up to 16 individual, separately-recorded players. 16 1st Violins, 16 2nd Violins, 16 Violas, 16 Cellos, 16 Basses.

As a young guitarist growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, Charlie Hunter was looking for a way to stand out in the '80s. His primary influences were jazz great Joe Pass and the fluid Tuck Andress (of the guitar/vocal duo Tuck & Patti), both six-string guitarists who were adept at blending bass notes into their standard guitar melodies to make themselves sound like two musicians at once. But Hunter wanted to take it one step further and set out to find an instrument on which he could simultaneously function as both a guitarist and a bassist.
