Welcome to fiddle! V2 for NI Kontakt!
This is a library we have been wanting to produce for quite some time now.  We've immersed ourselves in the study of numerous styles of fiddle playing over the last year and realized that creating a fiddle sample library would be quite a challenge.  Bo and I are happy with the results, and we feel this library fills a void in the world of sample libraries.


Version 2 of fiddle! features new sampled articulations which greatly enhance the expressiveness of the instrument, particularly in regards to ornamentation.


Some Features of the V2 fiddle! sample library for NI Kontakt

  • A wide dynamic range of sustain multisamples with velocity splits ranging from 7 to 20 multisamples per half step.  Fast Bow and Slow Bow sustain samples are offered. The Slow Bow samples are more suitable for Airs, Ballads and slower tempo tunes.
  • A Front Page that offers a realtime display of articulations being used.
  • The two sampled sound sources (Tube Mic and Ribbon Mic) can be edited completely independently, and the settings can be saved as independent Presets.
  • The Settings Page gives you extensive control over Attack and Legato articulations – as well as Auto Bow.
  • Half and Whole Step Slides at 3 speeds. You can adjust the Speed, Sample Start, Attack and Attack Curve.
