    To understand Sable, one must first understand the BML philosophy. Unlike "out-of-the-box" libraries that offer pre-mixed sections, BML was designed as a modular toolkit. You bought the "Sable" modules to build your own bespoke string section. The FULL V1

    Sable specifically refers to a Chamber Strings ensemble: 4 Violins, 3 Violas, 3 Cellos, and 3 Double Basses (with some patches offering divisi options). This is significantly smaller than a symphonic section (16/12/10/8) but larger than a quartet.
