Product Overview

Con Moto – Violins A features a collection of eight expressive violins, primarily sourced from first-chair musicians of the Capellen Orchestra. This library is characterized by its dynamic and lyrical qualities, with a focus on motion in sustains, legato, and attacks/releases, making it suitable for expressive scoring in both cinematic and contemporary contexts.

Details

The instrument offers three dynamic layers, ranging from moderately soft to fortissimo, allowing for nuanced performances. The "active-bow" sustains provide a continuously evolving vibrato and emotional depth, while the bow-change legato transitions ensure smooth phrasing. Release samples are meticulously timed to respond to note-length variations, enhancing the fluidity of the performance.

Recorded in an ambient hall, the library includes multiple mic positions: close captures of the first, second, and third chairs, a close section mic, Decca, and wide options. This variety allows for tailored mixing choices, whether you prefer a more intimate sound or a broader ensemble feel. The library is designed with a global delay of 140 ms to enhance the musicality of legatos and releases, ensuring that all elements align cohesively.

With its focus on expressive performance and detailed articulation, Con Moto – Violins A is well-suited for scoring that demands emotional depth and a sense of movement, making it a valuable addition to any composer's toolkit.
