Craft realistic Viola performances with staggering depth of control and versatility.
$99.00
The viola has an incredible depth of sound, a warm, rich low range and a singing, fragile high range. We think it gets shortchanged too often, and that’s why we upped the ante with ours! You get more control, more simplicity, and a breathtaking dynamic range.
Fischer Viola is an ultra-advanced solo viola for Kontakt Player, and a major leap forward in terms of musicality and technology. More than a year in the making, we went deep into the scripting and “under the hood” to make sure that this is a leaner and meaner instrument.
Produce a wide spectrum of tone colors by changing the position of the bow between the bridge and fingerboard dynamically in realtime.
Perform longer or shorter Staccato notes in realtime based on key velocity or MIDI control. This works extremely well for creating Spiccato, tackling agile passages, or for playing longer accented notes.
