Intimate Legato - Violin

Warm, Intimate, Captivating

Introducing Intimate Legato: Violin, a solo violin sample library featuring a beautifully captured, natural sounding legato performed by virtuoso violinist, Peter Liang. With a wonderfully raw and life-like sound, this library makes it easy to create realistic and emotional melodic lines.

Built for the free Kontakt Player, Intimate Legato: Violin was recorded in a small church hall with a variety of microphone positions to capture the detail of the violin and the room. The library features a host of useful controls such as a “Rebowing” keyswitch, legato intensity and legato volume sliders, multiple microphone positions and a host of reverb presets, filters and distortions..

THIS LIBRARY WORKS IN THE FREE KONTAKT PLAYER AND IS NKS COMPATIBLE

Recording the Intimate Legato - Violin library was something that we've been planning for some time, in order to explore a new method of capturing legato instruments. Whilst this method only involved some minor tweaks to how we did it in previous libraries, we think the end result features a massive improvement in both playability and the overall realism of the library - something which is a hard balance to strike when sampling an instrument with a complex sound like the cello. After months of testing and getting feedback from our team and fellow composers, we think this library has evolved into something truly special. Whilst most string libraries require a lot of tweaking using the mod wheel, expression and other parameters to make it sound natural, this library sounds fantastic out of the box - you can simply start playing and create incredibly natural, emotional and intimate melodic lines and phrases.


To capture the rich and delicate tone of the cello, we teamed up with Peter Liang, who is known for his years playing in the Hallé Orchestra and an all around fantastic musician. To capture the beautiful tone of Peter's violin, we decided to choose a small church hall, to get both an up close and personal sound, but also capture the wonderful reflections and space that the hall had to offer. We captured 4 microphone positions, which are all controllable either individually, or simultaneously using the proximity fader. We also created a custom mix which can be used to get an instant mix without the need to tweak the microphone positions. Inspired by modern film scores, this library is perfect for soaring, emotional scores as well as dark, soulful and intimate melodies.

Kontakt Player is a free sampler created by Native Instruments, which allows you to use certain sample libraries without the need for additional paid software. Kontakt (sometimes referred to as the FULL version of Kontakt) is a sampler which can be purchased from www.nativeinstruments.com. The vast majority of our libraries only run in the FULL version of Kontakt, and therefore you must check that you have the correct version of Kontakt in order to use our sample libraries. Please check the description of each individual product page to find out which version of Kontakt you will need.
NKS brings all your software instruments, effects, loops and samples, into one intuitive workflow – creating seamless integration between NI and other leading developers. It gives you streamlined browsing, consistent tagging, instant sound previews, pre-mapped parameters, Smart Play features, and more. Please note that currently our libraries are not supported by NKS, however we will be updating certain products to be NKS compatible in the near future.
All of our Kontakt based libraries contain samples that have been converted to NCW. This has been done primarily to protect the content within the library, making it more difficult for people to use the samples outside of Kontakt. Certain libraries created by us include a WAV pack which means you can work directly with audio within your DAW.
DAW stands for Digital Audio Workstation. Softwares such as Logic Pro X, Cubase, Nuendo, Pro Tools, Ableton and Reaper are DAWs. In theory, you do not need a DAW to use one of our products, you do however need the correct version of Kontakt. However, if you plan on creating music, we recommend using a DAW to allow you to record and sequence your MIDI for easy playback.
You may use your library on more than one machine, however it is illegal to share, distribute or upload all or part of our libraries in any form.
