Capturing the Sweet Acoustic Textures – Viola

In short and neutral acoustics, without any concession choosing the gears, the 2904 samples were recorded on a 1941 Ernest Ledler viola with an italica backplate, then treated with the greatest care in terms of instrument sound.

Sweet Acoustic Textures – Viola is perfect for you if you require the warm tone of the viola in your compositions or want to create unheard acoustic textures. With this virtual instrument, you’ll have everything you need to add some new life to your music!

Traditional Virtual Instrument Plus Random Acoustic Textures Generator

Sweet Acoustic Textures – Viola also offers a random acoustic textures generator, which can be really useful in creating unique sounding tracks. With this generator, you can create new acoustic textures on the fly without worrying about the details. This can be a great way to experiment with new sounds and come up with creative ideas.

These sound sets are compatible with standard key switches and can be activated automatically by a texture generation algorithm specifically developed for this set.

The possibilities offered by this instrument are polyphonic, allowing you to pick the approaches, their density, spatialization, and authorized velocities. Because the textures are dry, you may apply any reverb, delay, harmonics, or compression to them that you like.

When applied to the analog compressor, multichannel output allows you to choose the exact length of each channel—and thus the overall length of any effects that are sent out through all channels.

Ernest Ledler Viola

The best 2904 examples were captured on a magnificent Ernest Ledler viola with an Italica backplate in short and neutral acoustics, with no concessions made to the gears. Ernest Ledler was born in 1941 in Vienna, Austria. His music often features Sweet Acoustic Textures, which give it a unique and beautiful sound.

Sweet Acoustic Textures – Viola UI

The interface is structured around four categories:

• the instrument mode (1)
• the technique control channels (2)
• the settings (3)
• the microphone position and output settings (4)

The Texture Gen. function is used as a texture generator in instrument mode, while the Classic Instr. an option is used as a traditional virtual instrument.

The Texture Generation mode supports the note density and velocity. The most crucial parameter when creating texture is density. If you don’t want to clog up the sound region, avoid setting the Note Density of long methods too high. When creating texture, you may restrict the authorized velocity range for each method by using Velocity. When you choose Texture Gen. mode in the Mode menu, the Note Density and Velocity knobs appear only, while the Pan control offers various possibilities.

Very Close Piano 2 by inouï samples

With the latest release Very Close Piano 2 by inouï samples they aim to offers you the piano with more precision, more attack and more density that you have ever heard.

During the recoding inouï samples used in addition to a classic stereophonic recording. Two unheard microphone positions which are impossible to produce in a traditional recording session. With one microphone recording the hammer and one mic at the other end of the played string, all the sound and musical potential of each note are now within easy reach.

Very Close Piano 2 has been recorded in a neutral acoustic with high-quality transparent gear.

To fully enjoy the possibilities of these 3 microphone positions, Very Close Piano 2 features 3 modes:

• An easy-to-use Reverse mode
• A Legato mode with a Portamento option
• An exclusive X-Fade mode which allows you to change the sound from one or more microphone positions to another during each note. For example, you can take full advantage of the extreme proximity microphones on the attack of the note, while considering using the ambient take on the tail for a better width.
