Orchestral Tools Soloists Series - Nocturne Violin

{See video at top of page}

The Nocturne Violin is part of the Soloists series from Orchestral Tools.

A collection of exquisite recordings from the cream of Berlin players, captured with a solo-style dynamic range and a variety of lyrical expressions. Months of painstaking development and test recordings gave rise to new concepts in legato and articulation sampling which, thanks to CAPSULE, will be intuitive for users.

A combination of new techniques and a unique sampling approach lends this Solo Violin a degree of realism and a variety of expression that have never been heard before.

A single velocity layer for maximum expressiveness.

Instead of recording fixed p, mf and f layers, the musicians were free to follow their instincts in choosing the best dynamic for a solo part.

By using a single velocity layer, we were able to reduce any phasing effect to a minimum, thus preserving the intimate sound of the Nocturne Solo Violin.

Highlights:

• 14 different legato performances at different speeds, expressions and techniques.
• Many different long notes covering a wide spectrum of lengths, dynamics and expressions for maximum realism.
• Single dynamic layer concept to reduce phasing to a minimum.
• Recorded in the Teldex Solo Booth.
