Product Overview

Conmoto Violas features a collection of six violas, primarily drawn from first-chair musicians of the Capellen Orchestra. This library is designed to deliver expressive performances with a focus on motion, offering a rich, evolving sound that is well-suited for both lyrical passages and dynamic scoring.

Details

The instrument includes three dynamic layers, ranging from moderately soft to fortissimo, allowing for nuanced expression. It employs bow-change legato transitions and “active-bow” sustains, which provide a continuously evolving sound that maintains dynamic integrity while adding vibrato and emotional depth. Release samples are responsive to note-length variations, enhancing the fluidity of performance.

Recorded in an ambient hall, the library offers multiple mic positions, including close captures of the first chair and section, as well as Decca and wide placements. This variety allows for tailored mixing options, whether you need a more intimate sound or a broader orchestral blend. The library is built for Kontakt 5.8.1 and above, and it features a global delay of 140 ms, optimized for the legato and release samples to ensure musicality in performance.

Overall, Conmoto Violas is well-suited for scoring contexts that require expressive string writing, particularly in cinematic and dramatic settings where emotional nuance is paramount.
