A Free Vst Violin

[bduffy]

Hi guys, here's a link to the demo of the german violin thing http://www.vst-archiv.de/index.php?temp ... d&file=746

At plugindex.de there are two ways to register: a free (for Forum use only and a 25 Euro registration which allows you to download some nice plugin such as these http://www.plugindex.de/index.php?templ ... kel&id=110.
The link to register is here http://www.plugindex.de/index.php?templ ... aq&faid=10: left is free, right is 25 Euro/year just click on the "Abo Mitglied werden"-Box and you can paypal 25 Bucks to get member (=Abo-Miglied)

Coming back to "where can I get this fuxxing german violin??!!"

It's totally confusing, even for germans

Go here http://easytoolz.oyla.de/cgi-bin/hpm_homepage.cgi
click "easy#classics"
click "easy#quartet 01 FREEWARE" (below the picture)
you'll be directed to plugindex
click download and... voilá download should start!

On the easy-toolz side check out the other plug's from that guy. I don't use them but maybe you'll like them

Hope I could help!

Thanks, but the problem isn't getting the instrument, it's that it is asking for soundfonts when you change the presets.

[NotTheCommonDose]

No, I couldn't get the instrument at first, that's what he was remarking to. Thank you BDuffy.

I somehow get always confused with odo and ugo and oli and ian and whatnot..

In much the same way that SE synths all sound the same, actually we are all the same person!

[mdsp]

oops, too mad.

this is just the bow/string sound without the body of the instrument so I reckon it's a bit dry, but I found it not that bad. nothing to do with soundfonts and trancegate though.

okay, great, make tuz happy, wrap it up and post it :p

cos you know if you don't, it doesn't get used.

he's a bit demented about some 'gypsy violin' concept.

well, this is far from being usable ATM nor easy on cpu anyway.

I just wanted to help...

This is the BEST violin you will find from any sampler or synth:
http://www.garritan.com/stradivari.html

Just take a listen:
http://www.garritan.com/Strad/Fabio-SonataAdagio.mp3

It is a sample set for Kontakt, from Garritan, called The Stradivari Solo Violin.

Mmm, I gave it a try some time ago, I must admit I hated it, I even thought it was a joke at first, but it may sound good with a bit of tweaking, I don't know... If anybody comes up with interesting patches, I'm more than willing to try it again.

I tried to make string sounds with it for the first 5 minutes, and then I just used it as a great, unique pad synth, ignoring that it's meant to do string sounds.

what do you think about the sound of this one:

violin.mp3

when i said 'drop it,' i hadn't listened to the mp3 yet :p sounds like genesis p. orridge's technique.

using fdn modeling, i was able to get decent tone to ~the low note of your mp3 - resonance above this was either too weak for realism or uncontrolled.

anyway - a cpu killing bounce-to-audio vst is better than nothing at all! i'm sure the appreciative will endure a host-param gui

it's not even a VST, nor does it uses somthing like FDN.
for now it's just a command line model with hardcoded values, so really nothing useable for a musician.

not to bully you into it, but.. bol

used to use a command line w/ midi files i export from host for voices called 'flinger.' if it sits there for a while, you know there are 'extremists' out here who think the extra process is worth it

Is this output from your scanned synth - sounds very good if it is and I am very impressed even if nobody else is

no, it's not ScansynthGL, just a nice experiment for the moment.
Scanned synthesis can produce dynamic evolving pads or nice basses but in no way something sounding close to a violin.

Just to reinforce (I hope) what Chase was saying (a few days ago, now) ..
This is a short demo using Stringz for something other than strings.. I leave you to guess which sound I mean.. Theres a little bit of help from Richman2, but the feature sound is the one I was interested in..

If you compare that with this that I posted a while ago, you will see that StringZ can do interesting sounds, IMHO

[P.T.]

I've never been able to find a decent violin soundfont. Some of the violas aren't as bad.

If it isn't for solo work then a few different free violins playing a part together doesn't sound bad sometimes.

violin.mp3

verry intresting!!!!!!!

is it somthing your working on?

some parts sound verry real IMO

I can't say more, sorry
