I was pleased to find the programmers have adopted the superior VSL legato style in which a held note is retriggered when a superimposed note is released, making it easy to play the fast trills and gracings which characterise expressive violin performance.

Rarely have I heard such subtlety and tenderness in a sampled instrument: the player’s breathy quiet notes are a thing of beauty, and his natural note transitions and glides are perfectly realised by an ultra-realistic, supremely organic true legato mode. A legacy Kontakt full 5.4.1+ version is also available.īuilding on techniques developed for Embertone’s previous solo strings (which include Friedlander Violin and Fischer Viola, reviewed here in May 2016), the company’s new solo violin is an unmitigated triumph. The library runs on the free Kontakt Player and the full version of Kontakt 5.6.8 or higher, and uses 8.24GB of disk space once installed. Recordings took place over two days at New York’s Avatar Studios, yielding nearly 20,000 samples in a diverse range of styles all the performance variations are packed into a single playable patch, saving you the trouble of wading through encyclopaedic listings to find the articulation you need. A collaboration between eminent American violinist Joshua Bell and the small but perfectly formed Embertone company, this excellent library features a deeply sampled solo violin expressively played by the maestro himself.
