Lineage Strings

String Library with Adaptive Performance Control

Lineage Strings is an orchestral string library designed to deliver realistic and expressive performances with minimal manual programming. Its Adaptive Phrasing system analyzes incoming MIDI performance and automatically selects suitable articulations based on musical context.
