Sonatina Strings

This is a sample-set based on the public domain Sonatina Orchestra.  The strings were recorded in stereo so I brought the WAVs into the Kronos in stereo.  The .KSC is 86MB in size.  It includes sustain, staccato and pizzicato for 1st/2nd violin, viola (sustain and pizz only), cello and bass sections.  There is also a solo violin.

I created multisamples based on each of the articulations listed above.  In addition, I created some hybrid ensemble multisamples.  Ensemble1 consists of 1st violins and cellos.  Ensemble 2 includes 2nd violin, violas, and basses.  There are sustain, staccato and pizzicato versions of these ensemble multisamples.  This allows you to create larger sounding strings at the program level without the need to create a combi.

All the multisamples play within their normal lower limits.  This allows you to place, for example, violins and violas in the same osc without the issue of violins playing too low.

    I have downloaded and played these sounds successfully. However, I do not know some Programs got the notes muted at C2 to B2. I'm using Kronos X 61 keys. Please let me know if the sample is only a demo. How do I get the full version of this Orchestra Sets? It's great, even more realistic than the Epic Strings from Yamaha Motif XF.
