Bunker Samples has launched a new addition to its Iremia series with the release of the “Intimate Violin – Iremia – Soft Solo Textures” library for Kontakt. This product offers a unique exploration of the softer side of solo violin, providing users with a rich and detailed sound palette ideal for ambient and Scandi Noir scoring.
The “Intimate Violin – Iremia” library is designed to capture the subtle nuances and imperfections that contribute to a sense of intimacy and humanity in music. This is achieved through the use of ten microphones during the recording process, including one placed inside the violin itself. The resulting sound is described as beautiful, warm, and detailed, making it a valuable tool for composers and producers seeking to add depth to their projects.
This library is part of the Iremia solo strings series, which also includes the Intimate Viola and Intimate Cello. Each instrument in the series shares a common concept, articulations, microphone setup, and graphical user interface. The focus on capturing the quietest details of the instruments allows for a unique and expressive sound that stands out in compositions.
Key features of the “Intimate Violin – Iremia” library include:
– 3,415 samples with a total uncompressed size of 13.6 GB and a lossless compressed size of 7.49 GB.
– 48 total articulations and 5 patches.
– Compatibility with Kontakt 6.7.1 or later (full version required).
Additional functionalities enhance the user experience, such as:
– Align sample start and movable key-switches.
– Display key switch note names directly on the GUI.
– Purge microphone channels from memory using the mute button.
– Extended simulated dynamics and full control over dynamic range.
– Adjustable velocity control, per mic stereo width, and pan controls.
– Per mic delay and reverb sends, with the option to route each mic directly to Kontakt’s discrete outputs.
The “Intimate Violin – Iremia” is available as part of the Iremia bundle, which includes the Intimate Viola and Intimate Cello, priced at $149. This bundle offers a comprehensive collection of solo string textures for composers looking to expand their sonic palette.
