Native Instruments – Stradivari Violin KONTAKT

CENTURIES OF DAZZLING SOUND

Tap into the authentic sound of a treasured instrument from the world’s most renowned violin maker. Built in 1727 by Antonio Stradivari, the ‘Vesuvius’ violin embodies the Italian master luthier’s unparalleled skill. STRADIVARI VIOLIN captures the sound of this historical instrument in painstaking detail, as played by master musicians in the rich acoustic environment of Auditorium Giovanni Arvedi, Cremona. Chromatically sampled notes, phase-aligned velocity crossfades, performance-captured vibrato, a wealth of articulations, and mixable mic positions enable you to produce highly expressive, realistic solo strings with a unique timbre famous for 300 years.

CREATE SEAMLESS, DYNAMIC PASSAGES

Produce natural, vivid solo violin performances. Seamless, phase-aligned velocity crossfades on long articulations eliminate phasing when transitioning between dynamic layers.

WEAVE IN REAL-WORLD VIBRATO

Innovative modeling of live virtuoso vibrato performances, recorded and re-applied to the sample content, lets you produce highly authentic results through real-time control and automation.

FINE-TUNE NUANCED TIMBRES

Dial in the perfect timbre for long articulations. Choose the Low String fingerboard position for a soft, mellow tone or the High String position for a brighter, more vibrant sound. Or opt for the Smart position, which intelligently selects the closest fingerboard position to the other notes played, as a real violinist would.
