Trio Broz: Solo Violin

Trio Broz - Solo Violin features up to 3.5 octaves, 4 dynamic layers for sustained articulations, 2 legato types, 4 Round Robins for short articulations like Spiccato, Staccato and Pizzicato. We provide you the ability to create your unique sound by mixing the 3 microphones positions (Close, Mid and Far). The sampling was made high-quality gear: Schoeps and AudioTechnica microphones, Neve and Millennia Media preamps.

The violin is a 1839 Gaetano Guadagnini made in Turin. It is played by Barbara Broz since 2010.

DCE – DYNAMIC CONTROL ENGINE

When developing the library we tried to avoid to over-process the samples by using compression and normalization. So we needed a special scripting device which could blend all the samples' transitions in a very smooth and realistic way. We developed an external tool which analyzes the samples and imports this data into Kontakt called Dynamic Control Engine. Thanks to the DCE, Kontakt knows the volumes of the samples currently playing in the instrument and matches the volume of the incoming samples with the previous ones.

In the end, the DCE works smoothly "under the hood" leaving the user just the joy to play and to build his expressive legato phrases.

PITCH WHEEL CONTROL

The instrument features dynamic articulations like accented and crescendo attacks and glissando/legato articulations, dynamically controlled by the Pitch Wheel. This allows to craft beautiful musical phrases with a smooth beginning and a faded ending or abrupt accented notes with slurred passages along the way. The versatility of the DCE engine handles smoothly all these techniques.
