LASS Lite

We are proud to announce LASS Lite, one of the 2 reduced sound sets of the full LA Scoring Strings (full) library. Please visit the LASS (full) page to see the new Version 1.5 update page and all the features included with LASS. (listen to LASS demos)

LASS Lite is a great way to be introduced to the LA Scoring Strings concept and there is a dollar-for-dollar upgrade path to the full version of LA Scoring Strings (see store for more details).

The difference between LASS Lite and the full version is that LASS Lite does not contain the Divisi Sections patches, the First Chair patches or the ARC (Audiobro Remote Control — a LASS Full 2.0 feature only). The chart below shows what patches and articulations come with LASS Lite. All the “blue” patches come with LASS Lite (the “green” are for LASS First Chair and everything else is included in the full version of LASS).

LASS Lite is a Kontakt based sample library and runs on Kontakt 4.1 or Kontakt Player 4. Kontakt Player 4 is available as a free download from Native Instruments’ website.

What is the difference between LASS Lite and LASS (full)?

While LASS Lite offers you full section patches, it does not contain the divisi ensemble patches or the first chair. Nor does it include the ARC (Audiobro Remote Control) which is a LASS Full 2.0 feature only. However, the patches included in LASS Lite work exactly the same way as the same patches in the full version of LASS (minus the ARC)… there is no difference in the patch functionality. You still get the great ART script and Auto Arranger script and every other script that comes with the full version of LASS… just not the divisi or first chair patches.

LASS Lite will not have the flexibility of LASS (full) insofar as being able to layer the different divisi sections and manipulate them discretely. However, LASS Lite gives you the famous LASS legato sound and short articulations that have set new standards in sampled strings.

LASS Lite is a downloadable library and uses the new Native Instruments NCW loss-less compression in 16 bit format to save you hard disk space and also reduce your download times.
