Full of expressive realism
There will always be quiet passages where a solo instrument can make its voice heard. These are the moments Solo is designed for.
What’s Included
13 Soloists
Multiple Legato Types
Less is more
You wanted more, we delivered. We recorded 13, yes, you read that right, thirteen new instruments: Violin, Viola, Cello, Trumpet, French Horn, Descant Horn, Flute, Clarinet, Oboe, English Horn, Bassoon, Soprano Angelic and Soprano Operatic.
100% new recordings.
We recorded two types of legato for each instrument: Rebowed and Slurred for Strings, Fingered and Retongued for Woodwinds and Brass, Aah and Ooh for the Sopranos. You can even switch between the two types of legato without using key-switches, by using either velocity or CC.
We recorded just one dynamic layer on legato articulations, which is actually better for solo instruments. The less crossfades you do, the less phasing artifacts you get.
This unique dynamic layer contains all the musicality and emotion you will ever need. The recipe: slight crescendo-diminuendos, some progressive vibrato, and voilà. It just works.
