Product Overview

Pathfinder Violin offers a unique approach to string performance, focusing on the expressive nuances of two-note slurs. The library captures the energy of transitioning between notes in a single bow stroke, allowing for a seamless blend that feels organic and alive.

Details

The samples are recorded as swells, enabling the second note to start softly, almost like a ghost note, before building in intensity. This technique allows for a dynamic range that adapts naturally, providing a fresh sound with each play. Articulations include quarters, eighths, and sixteenths, all designed to inspire creativity in both sample use and live performance contexts.

With a total of 684 samples, the library is structured around loops of two or four measures, recorded at 110 BPM. The intuitive playback is enhanced by a ripple engine, ensuring that samples sync to your DAW’s tempo. Additionally, an "ideas" browser provides 80 MIDI clips to facilitate quick composition and exploration.
