Details

The instrument includes four virtual instruments: Bowed, Bowed Motion, Pads, and Pad Motion, with the Bowed patch featuring seven articulations such as Long, Con Sordino, Sul Pont, Tremolo, Spiccato, Col Legno, and a Release patch. The Bowed Motion patch allows for individual modulation of each articulation, synchronised to your DAW's tempo, creating a continuous motion effect with a single key press. The Pads patch consists of four unique processed pads derived from the bowed samples, while the Pad Motion patch similarly modulates the pads individually.

The interface is designed for ease of use, incorporating built-in effects that facilitate quick and impactful results. This library opens up a range of sonic possibilities, making it suitable for various scoring contexts where character and motion are essential.
