Each instrument has been meticulously sampled to capture the full depth and nuance of its real-world counterpart, offering you a rich, dynamic sound perfect for a variety of musical genres, from cinematic soundtracks to contemporary classical pieces.
Realistic Articulations & Expressive Playability
Native Instruments’ commitment to authenticity shines through in Cremona Quartet Ensemble’s real vibrato samples and marcato articulations. Every note is imbued with a natural, expressive quality that brings life and realism to your compositions. Whether you need smooth sustained notes or energetic, plucked passages, you’ll find the articulations you need to convey emotion and depth.

With these authentic articulations, your string ensemble sounds like it’s been played by a real orchestra, adding a new dimension to your compositions.
Auto Divisi: Effortless Orchestration
The Auto Divisi feature is a game-changer for composers and arrangers.
