Interesting 16th with sample libraries. Video + 2 Examples

[Beat Kaufmann]

Even though the new "Synchron Libraries" come with a pleasingly large number of different staccato samples and actually no longer produce the machine gun effect, there are tricks to play 16th notes even more interestingly. As with all our efforts with samples, the goal is to create music, i.e. to get away from the mechanical playing of the notes by computer.

• So here is a video (already older) for getting intersting 16th and
• here an mp3 example: Moto - Perpetuo, Paganini

-----------------------------------------------

This piece by Paganini "Perpetuo" uses the technique from the video throughout. Of course this means a great effort, because really every tone had to be touched to achieve an individual loudness (velocity). In addition, each up stroke of the violins had to be somewhat quieter than the down stroke before...

Thanks to Corona there was time to do this diligent work. Have fun with this "Paganini spectacle".

Hi Beat,

Fantastic work on the Paganini, making a noticeable distinction between up and down bows, which of course makes good sense and causes a great natural feel!

Thanks again for your inspiring work,

Jos
