Wanted: Solo violin and cello programs with pure tone samples and vibrato only with mod wheel or aftertouch

Post by dan_e_thomas »

Hello,
I have a Stage 2EX and I apologize in advance if I am overlooking something, but I am looking for a solo violin and solo cello program where vibrato is controlled from the mod wheel or with aftertouch. All the samples I have found so far either are recorded with vibrato (possibly delayed but still there). I have had other older synths with that type of program, so I feel a bit puzzled why there aren't many available.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a program library for sale with these types of programs, or have one of each to share as a starting point for me?

Thank you in advance!

Have you tried with the Mellotron or Chamberlin solo violin/cello samples?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, and yes, I looked through all of the Mellotron and Chamberlink solo violin and cello samples in the Nord sample library, and all the ones I checked had vibrato, either starting directly or after a delay, so not what I want.

I haven't tested it, but what if you load a normal straight string sample and use the modulation in the synth section assigned to mod wheel? It may not sound like "string vibrato" though it is one thing to try.
