Session Strings Pro 2 is an excellent choice for producers and composers seeking a polished, playable string ensemble with modern character and practical performance features — ideal for pop, hybrid cinematic work, and quick scoring tasks.
The original Session Strings was a cohesive block. Pro 2 splits the 11 players into two distinct groups: (Violins/Violas) and Low (Cellos/Bass). You can assign these to different MIDI channels. This means you can have the High section playing a staccato melody while the Low section holds a legato bass line—impossible in the original version.
