  • Let's take a look at Native Instruments' new Stradivari Violin library for Kontakt. As the name suggests this library was made by sampling a few original Stradivari Violins in a museum in Italy. This video is a first impressions, tour, demo and mini-review all wrapped into one.

    Thanks for watching! I just wanted to add a note about the interval stuff. I thought about it some more and I think a perfect solution would be to involve the sustain pedal. For example if the sustain pedal is pressed while playing a note, then that note should be added as an interval instead of played legato. I think this would allow for the regular legato playing like we have now in the library and it would also allow control for playing simple intervals from time to time by holding down a sustain pedal. Currently it appears the sustain pedal isn't used so it would be a perfect addition in a new update. Anyway, that's just a suggestion for how to improve this already fantastic library. Again I want to stress that this interval issue is not a big deal and it doesn't take away from the majority of the plugin. My issue isn't about playing chords or having a string ensemble, it's more about being able to sprinkle in the occasional 2-note interval seamlessly while playing mostly legato lines.

    Only at the part where you're listening to individual mic positions....imo close sounds like what mid should be and mid sounds like far. I'm disappointing at how wet the close mic sounds. I have some Spitfire libraries, the close mics sound so much drier. I really like the portamento. Thanks for doing these long form videos. I listen to them while I work and they're a joy to listen to.

    I would love a video of you trying out Embertone's Joshua Bell Violin, maybe comparing it to this library. It's also a Stradivarius violin and IMO it has more of an "alive" feeling compared to NI's very "studio" feeling violin.

    What would you suggest a studiologic SL88 studio with vst or Roland fp30x?
    Sound and action primary concern.
    And what is the option for violin playing on midi, I mean there is no pitch/modulation wheel on Roland fp10 or fp30x?

  • @liviou2004
    @liviou2004 3 роки тому

    Thank you. It sounds quite good, indeed. But to my ears, too regular to sound natural :
    1°) The attack sound is always the same. A kind of randomizing of the attack timbre should enhance.
    2°) In a real play we can ear some modulation at each bow reverse. The hamonics are moving along with the bow motion. It's very difficult to simulate that.

      Yeah if you use the mod wheel, the attack can be changed. Then there are many, many keyswitches and articulation controls for that as well

    The timbre of the sounds are great, but the pitch is off compared to a real violinist - the way you are handling the intervals moving through split chord progressions is wrong. A real violinist naturally sharpens and flattens notes to make them sound more musical, it is something that needs to be built into sample instrument playing of “real” bowed and blown instruments I think, otherwise they always sound slightly wrong, which is caused by the tuning issues I think.

    Pretty nice Stradivari patch but the vibrato is too mechanical. Saved by not playing any note too long.

    All depends how do you play to sound more realistic. But sound a bit dead to me. . But it’s getting close to the real thing , but if you know strings you know thats pretty much fake legatos are not good, thanks for the review

    • @edmontoraptor
      @edmontoraptor 3 роки тому +3

      It seems like he didn't use the modwheel to control dynamics so that is one reason it didn't feel more realistic. With a correct use of the modwheel you can get this sounding pretty realistic

    Violin+Guitar are the only two instruments that is impossible to ever sound realistic as a plugin, in my opinion.
