The Showroom Violin is a great library violin solo samples, including 14 separate articulations and 5 different microphone positions. It’s an incredibly flexible and beautiful instrument that can easily stand out in a track on its own, making it ideal for composers of films, games and TV, pop, rock, and more!
The Showroom Violin offers 5 completely different microphone positions to choose from. Load all or just some of them to create a drier / more processed sound as desired. Along with a range of microphone positions, we’ve also included 18 beautiful IR reverbs to choose from, ranging from rooms and halls to cameras and arenas.
