Got full Kontakt? Check out this solo violin library.  [FIXED LINK]
 
Where all but the most expensive string libraries fall down is when playing fast, short notes. That's specifically what this library does. Nothing else. If you want to mix staccato and legato articulations you'll need to load another instrument and try to match the two tonally. But despite its limited scope, at $14.95 it's an inexpensive way to bring your orchestrations up a notch in credibility. 
 
(Note that the site says you need full Kontakt 5. However, the developer says that it's currently fully compatible with 4.2. He just wanted to reserve the possibility of adding some K5-specific scripting later on, so he specified K5 in the Requirements.)

Hey Bit, you accidentally linked to Greg's Rick Bass instead.  At least that's what I get when I try it.
 
PS:  I listened to the Paganini yesterday and it is indeed a doozy.
 
 
Here's the correct link:

Here I go again. Been an expensive week...

Between this library and the new Realitone Banjo library...neither of which was expensive...I am amazed at the utility that's becoming available at no brainer prices.  I'm lovin it!

Agreed,
 
There seems to be some top shelf material hitting the market for a small price lately. This one was just a drop-in-the-bucket.
 
Looking back through the week though I added a McMillen QuNexus controller, a couple more FabFilters, A couple more Fxpansion expanders, A Voxengo SpanPlus, etc. etc. Don't even have it all installed yet and still buying... 
 
Would somebody make it stop?

Link fixed.

Picked this one up. At $15 it's a no-brainer, and you never know when you might need those rhythmic spiccato arpeggios...

 I'm so relieved that the forum software shields us from offensive words such as "spiccato". Those foul-mouthed Italians!

Thanks bitflipper for this info about it running on Konktak 4.2;  I don't have v5 yet and was delaying getting this Solo Violin, but your note about it running fine on v4.2 means that I will take advantage of this great deal.  Thanks.
