Free Download 8Dio - Studio Quartet Series: Deep Solo Violin

Studio Quartet Series : Deep Solo Violin marks a new leap in sampling for us. We recorded one of the greatest solo violinists of our time, Principal Violin of the BBC and other orchestras, sampling 88 articulations in ultra-deep detail, ranging from true polyphonic legato to a multitude of short note variations, dozens of velocity arcs, twelve different ostinatos and performance-based articulations.

Recorded in controlled studio conditions at Scotland’s leading recording studio, Gorbals Sound, the violin was captured in incredible detail and without compromise using dual-micing technology. This combined method allows you to freely switch between the direct signal and a more spacious ambience, giving you the ability to precisely control the violin’s position and distance.

Each of the included sound sets, divided into 6 separate categories, offers a wide range of features and performance styles, all easily accessible from the built-in browser. Deep Solo Violin features five individually recorded legato articulations, allowing you to play in a variety of styles and speeds, with or without a mute.

Each of the performance-based legatos also features original musical coloring and dynamic changes, ensuring that the purity and realism of a live performance is accurately preserved. With 88 independently recorded, multi-dynamic, and authentic-sounding articulations, you have access to all the mechanisms you need to create music that goes beyond realism.

All in one

Studio Quartet Series allows you to load the perfect set of articulations needed for your specific project. You can customize the key switches and save your own patches for quick access. There are 88 performance styles and articulations, organized into 6 main categories: Shorts, Longs, Bowed, Bowed FX, Measured and Performance. With the included individual patches for each articulation, you can load exactly what you need for your workflow.

Our Performer – Your Tempo

Deep Solo Violin offers a vast collection of fully tempo-synchronized patterns and short phrases, including smooth portato passages, detaché, measured tremolo and more. The Performance category features several phrases: Tuplet, Triplet, Swing and Jeté (Ricochét), all with varying dynamics and circular repetitions.

Normale and Sordino

Along with traditional orchestral articulations, Deep Solo Violin dives into the more esoteric, exciting and imaginative universe of solo strings. We have also included the deep range of muted Con Sordino articulations with many short notes, dynamic bows, crescendos and smooth true legato.
