BASS JOINS THE FAMILY

Vir2 Instruments is proud to introduce MOJO: Upright Bass, a premier addition to the MOJO instrument family. We recorded acclaimed jazz bassist Stefan “Pista” Bartus on an exquisite 150-year-old double bass through an analog console to develop the most advanced and lifelike upright bass virtual instrument imaginable. With six dynamic layers, up to eight round-robins, eight articulations, five mic positions, true legato, and an array of superbly designed presets and MIDI grooves, you can take your standup bass performances to new heights. Humanize your sound with speed-dependent articulation switching for note repetitions, beautifully authentic vibrato sustains, simulated vibrato based on real vibrato curves, adjustable string buzz, and an FX suite for full customization.

Violence KONTAKT

Team DYNAMiCS | Dec 2010 | 797.72 MB

Created for both musical use and sound design, Violence features an unprecedented deconstruction of a solo violin recorded from numerous angles: bowed, scraped, hit, plucked, played with mallets, chopsticks, guitar picks, and wet fingers. Then the sound design was repitched, layered, and post-processed through an array of unusual tools to produce sounds unlike any found in other virtual instruments. More than eighty unique patches were designed, each with a custom set of scripted knobs and controls all conveniently organized into four categories of sounds: Drum Kits, Melodic, Pads and Sound Effects, and Tempo-Synced. The inspiration for Violence came from the influential American composer John Cage, whose extensive experiments with prepared piano yielded new timbres and effects. What Cage did on the piano, Violence brings to the violin: a new and unorthodox approach to a traditional instrument, yielding amazing and fresh new instruments, textures, and sound design elements. Violence combines physical alterations with digital manipulations for a sound that straddles acoustic and electronic realms.

Following in the footsteps of Vir2 Instruments’ award-winning Electri6ity electric guitar virtual instrument, Acou6tics applies the same advanced technologies to re-imagine the virtual acoustic guitar. Vir2 has meticulously recorded six different acoustic instruments: a steel-string guitar, twelve-string, nylon string, ukulele, mandolin, and guitalele, and presents them in astonishing detail. It features both plectrum and finger picking, and Blumlein stereo recordings alongside the piezo pickup perspective. Thousands of samples across more than a dozen articulations were recorded for each instrument, including sustains, mutes, releases, legatos, hammer-ons and pull-offs, slides, harmonics, and effects. Acou6tics also features virtual room control with adjustable mic distance and sympathetic resonance.
