Embertone | Friedlander 1.5 upgrade + $99.00 sale
FRIEDLANDER VIOLIN 1.5 ADDITIONS COLOR MODE Live string players produce a huge spectrum of tone colors by choosing where their bow goes between the bridge and fingerboard. We have found a way to give you that control as well!
LOWER MEMORY FOOTPRINT AND CPU USAGE We're taking advantage of Kontakt's proprietary NCW audio format, which shrinks the footprint of the instrument. Despite all the new sample content, the instrument uses less RAM and is easier on CPU than v1!
800+ MB IN NEW SAMPLE CONTENT - Pizzicato - 4X round robin, 4 dynamics including bartok pizzes!
- Tremolos
- Sordino + Sul Pont is available for all articulations
- Sul tasto - performed on the fingerboard
- Immediate attack sustains - not harsh, not 'normal' attacks
- 'Emo' attack sustains - an emotional swell into each new sustain
IMPROVED DYNAMIC RESPONSE With the upgrade, the dynamics controller has a much wider range... from the quietest ppp all the way up to a ballsy fortissimo!
BUG FIXES / ENHANCEMENTS Some nasty notes have been repaired
Aftertouch works for vibrato! Finally!
Hundreds of new, cleaner staccato samples
- Across-the-board tuning adjustments
- Updated and adjusted all of the EQ's
IMPROVED VIBRATO Each note has been individually adjusted with a specific EQ response for vibrato - based on reference recordings from Dovid.
DYNAMIC/FLEXIBLE KEYSWITCHES - Don't like where we mapped keyswitches? No prob. You can shift them around to fit your workflow
- That lock on the front page of the GUI turns this on/off
- Pressing a keyswitch hard results in a permanent switch. Let go and the new articulation remains active
- Pressing a keyswitch softly results in a momentary switch. Let go and the prior articulation resumes
BETTER LEGATO PERFORMANCE AND TIMING - Friedlander Violin's legato is now 'VSL style', which means that playing in a legato style is a bit easier than it used to be
Prior notes of a melody are now retriggered if held down This lets you play trills with ease - simply hold down the first note while playing the destination trill note repeatedly
- We went through every single sample to make sure that the legatos are as even and uniform as possible. What that means for you is that legato transitions are perfectly timed!
NEW GUI CONTROLS - Responsiveness - you can control the legatos responsiveness... as this value goes up, it alters the start point of each legato transition, giving you a faster transition (at the expense of the full legato sample).
- Transition Attenuation - if you find that any transitions are sticking out, or you want to de-emphasize the effect of an individual set of legato transitions, this knob will do just that! The higher the value, the more accentuated the momentary dip in volume will be.
- Ensemble Randomization - one can now randomize the timing for the ensemble. This way, if the tightness of the group is 80 ms, you can randomize THAT value by a degree so that every notes timing is just a little bit different among the virtual players.
