...Well ,actually for me by far the best brass I have is called Function brass, it's loud , it has good sustain and it's from a motif, you can find it in the forum , but I upload it anyway if you can use that. If not I like the Brass 02 options. Strings for me is the original from Nord, it has quite a good attack working for lines and good vibrato for sustained notes.
I would love a split of those two. maybe strings on the lower extending from C4-G6, and brass from Ab4-E6.
Maybe an alternate version for a whole keyboard like a left hand strings from E3-G6, and a brass from Ab3-E6.
That would be awesome if possible. I think many people will appreciate it. Thank you even if you don't have the time for it, God bless!
Hello, I put this together this evening with the "StudioStr Leg_Vib_KH ste 2.0" left of the E4/F4 split point and the file you provided "Function_Brass_Motif BEST NEW.nsmp" to the right. Rather than split at G/Ab, I thought it might have more use to others if the split point coincided with a Nord keyboard split point, but this still covers the range you were looking for. I hope it works for you and others. Take care.

StudioStr-FuncBrass NSMP Demo with LP12 filter, LPM filter, and repeated with Keyboard Tracking at 3 to soften the strings more than the brass. Update Feb 28, 2022: The difficulty with setting up splits is getting the levels "right" - the intended use matters as a mix that works well for playing a note with each sound doesn't work well when playing chords with one and a single note with the other. To help find the right mix for you, below are five split samples, identical in sound but saved at different string/brass levels relative to each other as follows.

"StudioStr-FuncBrassA W" : StudioStr +2 db, FuncBrass -2 db
"StudioStr-FuncBrassB W" : StudioStr +2 db, FuncBrass 0 db
"StudioStr-FuncBrassC W" : StudioStr +2 db, FuncBrass +2 db
"StudioStr-FuncBrassD W" : StudioStr 0 db, FuncBrass +2 db
"StudioStr-FuncBrassE W" : StudioStr -2 db, FuncBrass +2 db

For this sample in particular, you might also be able to use the mid EQ to make the brass sound a little louder or a little softer relative to the strings by adjusting the target frequency. If you have Keyboard Tracking on your synth, it can be used to soften the strings while keeping the horns brighter. Take care.
