Add highly expressive and detailed virtual viola sounds to your next production with Best Service Emotional Viola, a virtual instrument giving you a sample library that produces sonically authentic solo viola. Powered by the free Native Instruments Kontakt Player 6.2.2 or newer, the library is suitable for film-scoring, pop-production, song-writing, and composing classical works of any era, including the modern and the avant-garde.
Emotional Viola has been sampled over the course of hundreds of hours and utilizes an instrumentalist-generated vibrato system for a more naturalistic sound. Key switches offer extensive control over various parameters such as the directional change of bowing, the selection of different articulations, and the transition from straight tone to vibrato.
This virtual instrument collection is compatible with both Mac and Windows platforms. It can run in standalone mode or operate within VST, AU, or AAX formats.
The Emotional Viola Master Patch contains most of the recorded articulations, which logically interlock and provide an elegantly aligned sound, thanks to True Legato. Three different transition types have been captured in several sessions and simulate among other things realistic changes in bowing direction or passionate portamento while playing. The user simply controls the velocity—the tempo of the tone transitions automatically adapts to your DAW.
In addition to the Master Patch, the Emotional Viola also contains an Individuals Patch, which is a set of key switch patches with different articulations of the same category such as sustains, shorts, trills and more. The Specials Patch offers some unusual articulations and effects, and the Stackable Patch contains the main articulations with standardized key switching to match the stackable patches of Emotional Cello and Emotional Viola.
For the use of the Viola as 1st chair viola in an orchestral environment, there are also timbre EQs, which place the viola in its correct position in the orchestra room. The final touch is provided by the Room and Reverb modules, which use professionally recorded convolution reverb presets to reproduce the sound of real rooms and can also be adjusted separately.
