    The Motions Grid

    Available in our award-winning, easy-to-use plug-in and NKS ready, the sophisticated, intuitive grid layout allows you to easily and quickly create intricate, realistic and expressive rhythmic strings. Much like our Spitfire Evo libraries creating realistic long notes, Spitfire Symphonic Motions offers the same for short and rhythms. Choose from an essential selection of playing techniques, and combine these with short ‘Overlay’ techniques for accents and blending to create a more nuanced, dynamic sound. You also have up to four different rhythms to choose from (6ths, 8ths, 12ths, 16ths) with two phrasing options (discrete/staccato and smooth/legato), locked to the host tempo in your DAW.
