Product Overview

Details

This library includes four dynamic layers ranging from true pianissimo to intense fortissimo, with slurred legato and same-note bow-change repetitions. The "active-bow" approach captures continuously evolving vibrato and emotional nuance, enhancing the expressiveness of sustained notes. The ensemble is recorded in a hall, utilizing both close and Decca mic positions, allowing for a balance between intimacy and spaciousness.

In addition to the main sections, Vista features a bonus full strings patch for sketching and pads, as well as an overlay patch with three violins performing sustains and legato at fortissimo, which can add depth to the primary violin layer. A harp is also included, designed for fluid repetition of notes, although it benefits from a sustain pedal due to the library's inherent delay. The overall design prioritizes musicality, with a moderately delayed response that enhances the legato and release characteristics.
