Comprehensive violin instruments
Perfect for solo violin performances or for layering within an arrangement, the Hyperion Strings Solo Violins features two independent violin instruments. Each instrument features master, phrase and true legato functions comprised of a wide selection of articulations. A myriad of mapping options, key-switching and performance tools are offered to seamlessly blend between sustains, dynamic expressions amongst more.
For even more control and expression, articulations such as sustain employ multiple different types of vibrato, speed and intensity, recorded in both piano and forte dynamics. Short articulations have been meticulously sampled, offering a diverse range of playing techniques for your compositions including staccato, spiccato, pizzicato, colle, col lengo, Bartok pizzicato and much more. With four round-robin variations per note, it's easy to humanise your performance, finding the right balance between seamless transition throughout the velocity range and emotive expression.
Dive into production with onboard phrases
For musicians and performers who aren't specialists on the instrument, Soundiron have included a range of different preset phrases to get professional sounds instantly. With a huge collection of live phrases, organised intuitively by mood and tempo, you can find the right phrase for any occasion. Tempo-syncing, time-stretching and pitch transposition are employed to give you the complete creative freedom to customise your sound, bending and altering phrases to your need. For enhanced creativity, the included step-sequencer and live waveform editing allows you to do more than traditionally possible with the violin, creating a unique sound that can transcend the instrument and create a new sound for your productions.
Immaculate realism
Far from the clinical, sterile sample packs that present a perfect image of the violin, the Soundiron Hyperion Strings Solo Violins captures all of the natural impurities that come from recording an acoustic instrument. Designed to deliver the most authentic and accurate instrument possible that equips you with the quirks of the violin, you can enjoy realistic results with plenty of life and character. For musicians, this means inspiring performances which sound exactly how the real instrument would in a room, making for convincing sounds when access to the real instrument is not possible. For sound designers working on film and TV, the characterful sound helps to portray and match the emotions on-screen to resonate with your audience and bring them closer to the scene.
Made for Kontakt Player
Built specifically for the full Kontakt sampler engine, Solo Violins is also compatible with the free Kontakt Player (version 5.5.2 or above) in VST, AU and AAX plug-in format in your DAW. No additional purchase is required to get up and running with your virtual instrument.
