Auddict releases Virtuoso Violin for Kontakt

Auddict has released Virtuoso Violin, a solo violin sampled instrument/library for Kontakt version 4 and above.

The Virtuoso Violin includes over twenty key-switchable articulations/techniques, and four different switchable legato types. These include bowed legato, slurred legato, portamento, and fast legato. Fast legato is a specially sampled set of legato intervals, tailored to producing fast runs and scale passages.

Legato List:

• Slurred Legato - switching note with the finger only, without changing bow direction... the smoothest legato sound.
• Bowed Legato - changing the bow at the note change. A more noticeable interval. (slurred and bowed legato are both essential in obtaining a realistic and well phrased performance).
• Portamento Legato - a subtle slide between notes.
• Fast Legato - Specially sampled intervals which allow a user to play fast runs/scales with intervals up to a minor third between each note - something seriously lacking and rarely possible with most sample libraries.

Articulation List:

• Normal Sustain.
• Stutter (a quick stuttered grace note before the main sustain).
• Crescendo.
• FP (loud then suddenly quiet with a crescendo back up).
• Marcato (A more accented pronounced attack and note).
• Harmonics.
• Tremolo.
• Trill Semitone.
• Trill Tone.
• Eight sets/combinations of grace note shorts.
• Octave up shorts.
• Pizzicato.
• Spiccato.
• Staccato on-string (detached playing without lifting the.
• bow).
• Major chords.
• Minor chords.
