In addition to those four, there are also separate instruments for each of those 32 articulations, plus additional variations called “techniques”. Those four top-level nki files are the “every articulation” versions, featuring eighteen keyswitched articulations for violins and violas and fourteen articulations for cellos and bass + cello. In fact, there is more here than first meets the eye. This might lead you to initially assume it’s a stripped-down library, at least if you hadn’t noticed that the download was 28 GB in size (46 GB uncompressed).
When you first open LCO, you’ll see just four instruments: violins, violas, celli and basses + celli. London Contemporary Orchestra specializes in effects that one might characterize as adventurous, with unusual articulations and microtonal tunings being hallmarks of this unique ensemble. They are prominently featured on Radiohead’s 2016 album “A Moon Shaped Pool”, as well as the soundtrack for Ridley Scott’s latest addition to the Alien franchise, “Covenant”. More than just a Spitfire product name, The London Contemporary Orchestra is a real working ensemble, established in 2008 for the purpose of recording with contemporary artists and cinematic soundtracks. In fact, you’d have a very difficult time attempting to duplicate them using any conventional string library.

It features eclectic articulations that, although you may have heard them in movie soundtracks, you have never heard them coming out of a sample library before. LCO takes strings in a whole new direction. Then I heard London Contemporary Orchestra. Frankly, I thought that they’d surely have already covered every conceivable variation on sampled strings. I count around 28 string-related libraries in their catalog, representing everything from delicate solo instruments to the thundering 300-piece Masse. Theirs are some of the very best on the market. Strings just got weird – in a most delightful way. Well, London Contemporary Orchestra isn’t that. You all know Spitfire Audio for its beautiful, majestic string libraries.
