LUX Orchestral Strings is huge, not a small chamber group, not a cut-down studio section, but a full 70-piece symphonic string ensemble recorded with the size and power that defined the golden age of Hollywood film scores.
It delivers the perfect balance for modern scoring: bigger and richer than smaller 30 – 40 player sections, yet more detailed and versatile than oversized 90+ ensembles. It captures the cinematic weight of world-class film recordings while retaining clarity, flexibility, and expressive nuance. Ideal for any professional composer.
When inspiration strikes, speed is everything. LUX Orchestral Strings offers carefully crafted ensembles, designed by composers who understand true orchestral balance. Sketch soaring melodies or driving rhythms in seconds, then refine them into detailed individual parts at your own pace. Flexible voicing and octave options ensure a full, lush sound, ideal for quick sketches or powerful supporting layers. These ensembles are not shortcuts, they are inspiration engines.
With LUX Orchestral Strings, you stay in the creative flow – turning ideas into rich, authentic orchestral music without breaking momentum.
Only a few libraries offer a bleed option, and usually only in a limited way. With LUX Orchestral Strings we wanted to capture the true experience of a full orchestral scoring session, so we took it much further.
In total we set up 48 microphones. 26 were used for the main capture — tree, far, and close mics for the string sections. On top of that we added another 22 close bleed microphones across the brass, woodwinds and percussion sections to record their natural spill into the strings. This recreated the complete orchestral recording setup, with every mic you would expect to find on a professional scoring stage.
With LUX Orchestral Strings you can choose how much of that natural spill you want in your mix, from just a touch of color to the full character of the scoring stage. The result is bleed that does not feel like an added effect, but like the resonance and interplay of a real orchestra in the room. Other libraries hint at it. LUX Orchestral Strings delivers it in full.
Infuse your mix with the authentic resonance of a live orchestra, giving your music depth, realism, and emotional impact.
Do you remember the first time you sat in a cinema and the hairs on the back of your neck stood up? When the music gave you goosebumps before a single word was spoken. Film score has the power to excite us, to move us, and to supercharge the story. Some of the most classic films are inseparable from their scores. Perhaps it was the opening brass fanfare of Star Wars, the menacing low strings of Jaws, or the magical shimmer as E.T. and Elliott flew across the moon. Those sounds did not just accompany the story, they became part of the memory.
That is the experience LUX Orchestral Strings is built to capture.
Real string players do not cut notes short when leaping across intervals. As the bow moves, the previous string lingers, resonating just a moment longer and giving the phrase its natural flow. It is a small detail, but it is what makes live performance so moving. For LUX Orchestral Strings, violinist and developer Jonas Meyer created Natural String Change technology, a system that detects when the next note would fall on a different string and allows the previous one to breathe into it.
The result is legato that feels effortless and alive. Wide intervals and arpeggiated figures connect with the same grace and humanity you would expect from real players on stage.
The innovations set LUX Orchestral Strings apart, but the full feature set is just as impressive:

In most libraries, articulation changes sound like separate recordings, not a continuous performance. Real musicians play differently – they flow naturally from one technique to another. A sustained note becomes a tremolo simply by increasing bow speed, without any break or restart.
S.A.T. brings that fluid motion to LUX. Move between articulations while holding a note, letting phrases evolve with the natural expressiveness of real performance. A gentle key switch creates a gradual shift, a stronger one a quick change – giving you true instrumental flow at your fingertips.
Notes connect smoothly, allowing you to perform more naturally instead of switching between static samples. It feels musical, not mechanical.
LUX Orchestral Strings was created with a composer’s workflow in mind. We crafted the sound and developed unique techniques to deliver the most natural playing and composing experience. Switch effortlessly between articulation sets tailored to different styles and keep your creativity flowing. Discover a sound so authentic, it feels like you’re standing right in the heart of the orchestra.
