One of the effects is a rapid, aggressive glissando downwards made by the higher strings. You can't recreate this digitally because the whole idea is that you have a large number of string players, with each player playing something different, so you get this clash of pitches.

The other effect is (I think) the same glissando, just not done as aggressively. So instead of rapidly moving the bow backwards and forwards, the glissando is covered with just one stroke. But again, the fact that there are lots of players and each one is playing something differently prevents the glissando from sounding flat, and means that you can't recreate it accurately with your standard MIDI string library.

Obviously, I can't be sure about all this. But either way, I found a patch in Symphobia called "Str Ens gliss vln vla"; here are a few excerpts from that patch:


string fx


Probably not the exact same one Troels used, but it definitely sounds similar.
Thanks so much, both of you ! And yeah, tomekkobialka, that does indeed sound like the same kind of effect Troels used. Shame that it can't be recreated digitally but oh well. Thanks for the link, though .

I like how the string fx sounds. That person who composed that string fx did a nice job.

Good news - finally deposited all of the MP3 and FLAC releases with Justin. Hopefully they'll be up on TRC.com for download soon. Please refer to MoTR's up-to-date community developed discography to ensure you have the latest releases.
