Description : CLOUD VIOLA² is a deeply multi-sampled hybrid instrument based on the Kontakt sampler, which takes a modest 17th-century classical string instrument and lovingly brings it to the modern world.
CLOUD VIOLA² uses incredible gaming techniques and sampling magic to create new tones and textures. From kinematic pads to strange leads and ideally suited as a stand-alone branded tool or for adding an interesting texture inside the orchestra. Using midi-controllers and DAW automation, the instrument can play with organic expressiveness and genuine emotions.
CLOUD VIOLA² will perform well in ultra-modern electronics, an epic trailer, an unusual sound design and a delicate modern classic.
