Beyond Realism
Everything you hear played with CH-Solo Modern Cello
Everything you hear played with CH-Solo Violin
Everything you hear played with CH-Solo Contrabass
Beside the unmatched realism, CH-Solo Strings is the perfect choice for creative sound-designers, film- & game composers.
Many included FX samples, extreme dynamics and unusual articulations like „Flautando“, „Flageolets“ and „Ponticello“ enable experimental tracks which go beyond the possibilities of a real instrument.
The instrument range was streched beyond the real String instruments range.
However, a warning „Extended Range“ displays when you leave the realistic range.
Realtime Control
There are many ways to control the many functions of the CH-Solo Violin.
The minimum requirement is a MIDI - keyboard and a computer. You can draw all MIDI CC data in your DAW.
However, a set of hardware faders and pedals helps to achieve a good realtime performance.
Beside that, there are a bunch of cool controllers to make a realtime performance fun.
Realtime performance using Hardware MIDI controllers
Watch Berthold Matschat in a
realtime performance with
CH-Solo Violin using various
hardware MIDI Controllers.
Berthold controls six functions in realtime:
Articulation presets changes via Keyswitches
X-Fade via Yamaha BC1 Breath controller
Note Heads via Expression foot pedal
Volume
Artificial Vibrato on/off
Portamento Legato via sustain pedal
Based on Hexlers TouchOSC,
I programmed a Real Time Controller for iPad.
Its not just fun to edit each and every function in
CH-Solo Violin from your iPad, the biggest benefit is, you can easiliy record the edits directly into your DAW.
Instead of fiddling with midi CCs in your sequencer, just press record and move the knobs and faders on your iPad/iPhone to record the controller movements with your sequence.
Just get TouchOSC for a cheap prize at the Apple App Store, and install the Real Time Controller which is included in the downloads.
Leap Motion & GECO Midi
Here you see me controlling CH-Orchestral Brass with the
Leap Motion. It works the same way with CH-Solo Violin
Bernd Keul playing the CH-Solo Violin
with the Leap Motion and GECO Midi
The Leap Motion is an inexpensive sensor, which can be used in combination with the GECO midi app
to control multiple MIDI CCs at once with intuitive gestures of the left hand while playing the notes with the right hand.
