Sonuscore STRINGS OF WINTER is a cinematic Kontakt library created for composers looking for unusual orchestral string colors, cold atmospheres and raw, expressive textures.
The library combines a 41-piece European string orchestra with the distinctive sound of the Mongolian State Morin Khuur Ensemble, creating a unique palette that moves beyond traditional orchestral strings. It includes 60 unique articulations across seven sections, plus String Ensemble FX instruments for creating clusters, hits, rises and other cinematic effects.
STRINGS OF WINTER uses Sonuscore’s powerful Ensemble Engine, allowing multiple instruments to be combined and played together from simple chords. Independent arpeggiators and velocity envelopes can create rhythmic movement, evolving sustained textures and animated orchestral patterns without relying on pre-recorded phrases.
The library also includes 64 single-instrument patches, ensemble presets, multi-rack patches and MIDI export functionality, giving composers both fast inspiration and detailed control.
With its icy, raw and atmospheric character, STRINGS OF WINTER is well suited to film scoring, game music, fantasy, documentaries, trailers and cinematic productions that need a distinctive orchestral string sound.

STRINGS OF WINTER Kontakt Library by Sonuscore is designed around cold, raw and unconventional orchestral colors. Rather than focusing only on traditional string articulations, it combines extended techniques, a European string orchestra and the distinctive character of the Mongolian Morin Khuur.
The result is a Kontakt library aimed at cinematic composition, atmospheric scoring and projects that need strings with a more unusual sonic identity. Sonuscore describes the collection as featuring 60 unique articulations, performed by a 41-piece European string orchestra and the Mongolian State Morin Khuur Ensemble.
The orchestral recordings feature a 41-piece European string orchestra divided into five traditional sections:
The recordings include standard orchestral material alongside extended techniques and unusual articulations. The manual lists techniques such as Sul Ponticello Sustain, Sul Ponticello Tremolo, Sul Ponticello Spiccato, half-tone and whole-tone trills, Col Legno, Bartók Pizzicato, Harmonic Sustain, Harmonic Tremolo and Harmonic Marcato across the main string sections.
One of the defining elements of STRINGS OF WINTER is the inclusion of the Mongolian State Morin Khuur Ensemble.
The Morin Khuur, also known as the horsehead fiddle, is Mongolia’s national instrument. Sonuscore recorded an ensemble of 15 players divided into high and low ensembles, adding a delicate, airy and distinctive bowed-string character that contrasts with the European orchestral sections.
STRINGS OF WINTER contains 60 unique articulations spread across seven sections, along with additional String Ensemble FX instruments.
These sounds provide a palette that can move from fragile and isolated to aggressive, animated and powerful.
At the heart of the library is Sonuscore’s Ensemble Engine.
The engine allows you to load up to five instruments into independent slots and combine them into playable orchestral textures. Each slot can be assigned to one of five modules.
Independent arpeggiators and velocity envelopes help create:
The important difference is that these results are generated from the notes and chords you play rather than relying on fixed pre-recorded phrases.
For composers who want detailed control, STRINGS OF WINTER also includes 64 single-instrument patches.
These allow the individual sections and articulations to be played directly. The library also includes full ensemble risers, crescendos, falls and hits for cinematic transitions and dramatic moments.
The official specifications list:
The multi patches layer multiple instances of STRINGS OF WINTER to create more complex arrangements and animated orchestral patterns.
STRINGS OF WINTER includes MIDI export functionality.
Once you create or modify a performance using the Ensemble Engine, the resulting arrangement can be dragged into a DAW for further editing, orchestration and layering with other instruments.
