  • The violin 2 that comes w/ Solo Strings and Chamber Strings...

    I am confused - possibly delighted. 

    I bought Solo Strings I full and the complete Chamber Strings bundle during the September sale. I haven't had a ton of time to work with them. Today I noticed that both have a bunch of Violin 2 articulations - all the basic ones, which is a big help to me since I do a lot of work directly with Finale. 

    I guess my question is - why is no mention of these patches made in any of the advertising/promotional literature or on-line content. There seems to be no listing of Violin 2 patches in the list of artics on the website. 

    A side question... am I either a) hallucinating these patches or b) did I actually buy Violin 2 and don't remember...? 

    Thanks for clearing this up. (I just discovered the patchest tonight, and have put them into a matrix but haven't had a chance to hear them in action)

    Hi shnootre,

    The Violin 2 Basic Patches were added to Solo Strings I to give you a quick option for a second violin (they are "only" transposed and resampled samples from the Solo Violin 1, to avoid phasing).

    Check the Library Manual of Solo Strings I for a quick description of those patches.

    Best,
    Paul

    Thanks Paul This is really great - even if only transposed.since I work a lot in notation software I didn't have that option for generating a 2nd violin, this makes a big difference. Same thing in Chamber Strings? Or did I imagine that? Dan

    Hi, 

    I'm afraid I was wrong, this is an undocumented extra, and yes, also with Chamber Strings!

    Enjoy!
