FRAGILE is a deeply expressive string instrument designed around movement, harmony, and emotional nuance. It is not just a collection of loops or a pad library; it is a playable instrument crafted for composers who want their harmonies to breathe and respond.

Ever-changing Sounds

The XY engine allows you to shape and blend up to four sources, moving smoothly between them. At its core, FRAGILE combines intertwining string phrases, expressive gestures, organic sustains, and harmonic intelligence, all reacting to the notes and chords you play.

What Makes FRAGILE Different

FRAGILE is built on the principle that music should respond to the player. Instead of triggering fixed phrases, it adapts in real time to your chords, voicings, and harmonic direction, creating a living string ensemble that follows your composition naturally.

A Playable Instrument

FRAGILE behaves like an instrument, allowing you to play single notes, chords, and change harmony mid-phrase. The internal phrases adapt to your chosen scale and harmony, ensuring everything remains musical and coherent.

Core Sound Categories

The library features carefully composed multi-voice string phrases performed by viola, violin 1 & 2, with arrangements that follow your selected scale and adapt to chord changes. Expressive articulations add motion and color, perfect for emotional scoring and evolving textures.

The Mapping Visualiser

FRAGILE includes a dedicated Mapping Visualiser tab, showing you in real time how different sounds overlap and how the instrument reacts across the keyboard, making it intuitive and easy to control.
