The story
I acquired my great-grandmother’s childhood violin a few years ago and have always been enamored with it. For being over 100 years old, it is still structurally sound and plays quite well, the player is the problem. I wanted to do something along the lines of what Spitfire does with evolutions. These longs pass through the Strymon Volante and Big Sky while I am tampering with the wear, mechanics, and time with the delay pedal. The affect is somewhat of a tape flutter. The mod wheel controls the drive of distortion.

Cool sound. Pitches aren't properly mapped.
This is a very cool sound, but notes above C4 play incorrect pitches. (For example, C#4 plays E2, D4 plays F2, and so forth.)
Two years ago I wrote the developer and asked for a fix, but I didn't receive a reply. Finally I ventured under the hood and fixed it myself.
Strange but cool
If you want a typical nice sounding violin this is not for you. If you want something weird and outrageous, this will do nicely. I just love it. I don't have a clue where I am going to use it yet, but I will.
Quite versatile!
The instrument greets you with a nice wallpaper that hosts just two knobs for Cutoff and Resonance. These two knobs along with the modwheel will make the smooth default texture sound like a nightmare. I can see this doing incredibely well as an atmospheric riser in cinematic soundscapes.
Surprisingly a fan
Im usually not a fan of orchestral instruments turned into synths but this one strikes the perfect balance for me somehow. I feel like its not trying to sound like strings, its just its own thing. Its pretty synth like but still has a hint of strings vibrato and is still somehow organic sounding while still being synth like. I really like the way this samplist processes sounds, this is the second instrument ive heard from him and while i sometimes feel that people go overboard with the tape effects both of the ones ive heard are really nice
Vibe
This has so much vibe. Great stuff, David! The character has a lo-fi approach and overdriven sound. Delicious, if you ask me. Thank you!!!
