Welcome to violin heaven!! We set out to create a virtual violin with malleable, intuitive controls, and an authentic, LIVING sound. From the beginning we wanted control over vibrato and dynamics, so we presented Dovid with an insane, almost athletic challenge: to record more than 4000 samples with musical purpose and a beautiful tone, and all WITHOUT VIBRATO! This gives you your own layer of expressivity… a variety of musical parameters at your fingertips so that you can craft and phrase authentic performances. Discover a new breed of virtual violin today!

1.5 ENHANCEMENTS

– Improved Sul Pont releases.
– Increased default instrument volume to 0db.
– Added Limiter to protect against loud peaking in certain situations.
– Reduced Harsh Release volume by -2db.

– Pressing a keyswitch hard results in a permanent switch. Let go and the new articulation remains active
– Pressing a keyswitch softly results in a momentary switch. Let go and the prior articulation resumes
– The lock on the front page of the UI turns the keyswitch/velocity scheme OFF
– Don't like where we mapped key switches? No prob. You can shift them around to fit your workflow

Each note has been individually adjusted with a specific EQ response for vibrato that is based on reference recordings from Dovid

– Friedlander Violin's legato is now "VSL style", which means that playing in that overlapped style is easier than it used to be
– Prior notes of a melody are now retriggered if held down
– This lets you play trills with ease - simply hold down the first note while playing the destination trill note repeatedly
– We went through every single sample to make sure the legatos are as even and uniform as possible. What that means for you is that legato transitions are perfectly timed!

Pizzicato - 4X round robin, 4 dynamics including Bartok/Slap pizz!
Tremolos
Sordino + Sul Pont is available for all articulations
Sul tasto - performed on the fingerboard
Immediate attack sustains - not harsh, but more than "normal"
"Emo" attack sustains - an emotional swell into each new sustain

With the upgrade, the dynamics controller has a much wider range… from the quietest ppp all the way up to an edgy fortissimo!

– Responsiveness - you can control the legato's responsiveness… as this value goes up, it alters the start point of each legato transition, giving you a faster transition (at the expense of hearing the full legato sample)
– Transition Attenuation - if you find that any transitions are sticking out, or you want to de-emphasize the effect of an individual set of legato transitions, this knob will do just that! The higher the value, the more accentuated that momentary volume dip will be
– True Legato - For those who don't want it, click this button and your memory footprint will dramatically decrease
– Ensemble Randomization - you can now randomize the timing for the ensemble. This way, if the tightness of the group is 80 ms, you can randomize THAT value by a degree so that every note's timing is just a little bit different among all the virtual players

– Even with all the new content, the instrument carries a smaller memory footprint, AND is more efficient on your CPU than the prior version!
– You can now purge the legato transitions if you aren't using them, freeing up a lot of memory while still giving you access to the other articulations
