Orchestral String Runs - Notes

Orchestral String Runs covers string runs in all shapes and forms in all keys
ready to enhance any musical composition.

This section briefly explains the contained instrument and points out usage
scenarios and expansion options.

Whole Ensemble
The OSR Whole Ensemble provides essentials articulations over the whole
keyboard range. These articulations are mainly intended for sketching and
to blend with the runs and other articulations in OSR.

02. Whole Ensemble Staccato R: C0-C6 | L: 2 (mf, f) | RR: 2

The Violins provide pre-recorded figures, Measured Trems and Trills as well
as a Runs Builder. The latter lets you create custom runs made out of small
