Don't Go

Note: created with a VERY early PRE-alpha version. Featured is 3 violins expressivo sords (7 dyn -- also I re-recorded these since they were a bit too expressivo and vintage sounding, but you will still get these expressivo vln sords too). As well as Harp 2 harmonic+normale reps and pizz reps using multiple sections.

No processing, EQ, or verb *other than* lightly EQing the harp close mic to get rid of some of the resonance.

Voyage - Pre-alpha harp harmonic+norm reps, pizz reps, and expressivo 3vln sords

Note: created with a VERY early PRE-alpha version. Featured is 3 violins expressivo sords (7 dyn -- also I re-recorded these since they were a bit too expressivo and vintage sounding, but you will still get these expressivo vln sords too). As well as Harp 2 harmonic+normale reps and string harmonics.

This track was thrown together in 10m, improvised with a multi consisting of the violin sord and two harp patches (3 patches total). Then a basic MW pass was done for the sord dynamics, and then the harmonics were added.

No processing, EQ, or verb *other than* lightly EQing the harp close mic to get rid of some of the resonance.

Voyage - Sagebrush (rough demo of pre-alpha str harmonics, vln sord, and harp) - by Jasper Blunk

The 8Dio SQS (Studio Quartet Series) Solo Bass marks a new leap in sampling for us.  We recorded one of the greatest solo cellists alive today.  A principal cellist of the BBC and other orchestras.  Ultra Deep-Sampled with 88 articulations ranging from true polyphonic legato to a wealth of short-note options, dozens of velocity-based arcs, twelve different Ostinatos, and performance-based articulations.

8Dio Deep Solo Bass "Short Notes Assortment" By Troels Folmann

New spiccato example from Voyage development. 

Very early, rough version of one of the NEW cello spicc patches (there are multiple types). Along with another type of bass spiccato (also very early). These particular bass spiccatos are rather clumsy and were re-recorded, so they do hold back some of the nimble nature of this demo a bit. Dynamic xfades and timing isn't finessed yet for the cellos. 

I suppose I'd call this spiccato style "motion spiccato."  It's a bit more cohesive and connected (for between-pitch material as well, though this is a challenge) - it has a long way to go still, but it's a step forward from the more basic spiccato patch in the library. If I were to re-record this vc patch I would have gone for slightly higher hand position (the A-String on cellos is a predictable issue, among other things), but there's a good number of shorts patches to choose from and a variety of options. I might re-record this particular spicc style for vc, but we'll see - no promises.

As of posting this, longs in the strings are up to 15 dyn and shorts up to 13 dyn. EDIT: 14 dyn on shorts.

No processing, EQ or verb on this example. There are a LOT of harmonics, noises, as well as a degree of "pre-note" (as some people call it) on these particular shorts (and the library as a whole), so if you are particularly sensitive to those things you'll definitely want to avoid this library. Those things are part and parcel of capturing from performances (especially the particular, faster performances I'm having them do in some cases), and oftentimes basing the sampling process around "how can I get the cleanest recordings" compromises the performance.

All subject to changes.
