Violan for Padshop 2 continues the groundbreaking orchestral FX string expansion series, reimagining the viola as a powerful cinematic sound design tool. By transforming traditional articulations and percussive strikes on the instrument’s top plate, pegs, and bridge, Violan delivers an extraordinary palette of textures that go far beyond the concert stage.

Inside, you’ll find evolving pads, re-synthesized comps, chromatic percussion, and a wide range of orchestral FX including risers, glissandi, and clusters. These are paired with dark soundscapes and rhythmic suites of strings and percussive elements, offering endless inspiration for tension, atmosphere, and movement.

Perfectly suited for science fiction, epic thrillers, and horror, Violan empowers sound designers, film scorers, and trailer composers with apocalyptic intensity and ethereal beauty—unlocking new dimensions of creativity.
