Cinematique Instruments Vertigo Violin KONTAKTVertigo Violin is a new addition to our symphonic range. It is an exciting mixture of different playing techniques of the violin, which have been assembled into our existing Vertigo Engine. The sound of Vertigo Violin is both smooth and rough and opens up the possibility to create very unique and soft string instrument tunings as well as more extreme and strange sounding soundscapes. And all this is – as always – very organic and lively. It fits so well to all types of film music.
In addition, Vertigo violin comes with a portamento patch that plays fifths portamento in up and down variations – all in a polyphony of 1 to 8 violins.Essentially Vertigo Violin is a melange of 14 meticulously selected violin articulations and additional sounds which can be mixed freely to fullfill your creative vision in an intuitive and easy way. The overall sound is characterised by a warm and raw violin ensemble, with a special organic flavor.
Our aim was to to deliver an unnique and inspiring violin ensemble. We recorded different articulations (fragile, sul pont, harmonics, motion and bounce/ bow) with a varying amount of players. All sounds can be mixed, tuned and panned individually. Several articulations can also be varied in the amount of players. Vertigo Violin comes with 13 presets to provide instant playable ensembles.
All of these aspects come together to form the beautiful, rich and organic sound that is Vertigo Violin. Because its unique assortment of sounds such as raw violin sounds or resynthesized sources as well as its organic human feel, it is a very special library.
In addition to this patch we recorded 5th portamentos in both directions (up and down) and put them together in a small playable engine.
