I'm going to make sure I'm actually doing more with strings though before I dive in. and I even took a look at Audiobros (for the la scoring strings and modern scoring strings). There's some real good deals on orchestral plugins though for 8DIO, Embertone, Spitfire etc. The main theme in the soundtrack of Arrival would be an example. The one I really had my eye on was Spitfire's Albion tundra but that's just too steep for me right now.I'm hoping Arkhis can do similar things, looking for lonely, eerie scratchy strings (vs big bombastic trailer strings). I may end up with a "real" orchestral plugin at some point, but I do have the ones in Komplete standard and the Logic string plugin, so first I need to exhaust what they can do. I was considering various string libraries (despite not being a "composer" in any real sense) but I came to the realization that really what I'd end up doing is mostly making textures out of the strings.Arkhis seems to be a fun tool for doing just that. It's half-off and isn't included in Komplete Ultimate (I may upgrade next summer). I ended up getting Arkhis as an impulse purchase. Not a deal-breaker by any means, just odd to experience while you're playing.

* I hope they update it to fix the weirdness of changes in the efx only kicking in after all notes started before the efx change end. IMO they complement each other perfectly and having both in your arsenal should have you covered for any situation needing a Rhodes. I also got the Famous E during their group buy at 60% off, and it's also terrific* – and very different from the Scarbee. Only other Rhodes VST I use is Orange Tree Samples "Famous E", and that's twice the price on sale right now also.Ĭan't go wrong with Scarbee 88.Nope, and the original Scarbee MK1 sold by Native Instruments at $34.50 is a good deal too (that's one of the many NI sampled products currently 50% off, as Dave mentioned earlier in this thread).

Can someone talk me into (or out of) getting the EP 88s for $50? I have the Canterbury and it sounds great but I never managed to get it to feel really playable.
