“Emergence Audio’s Violin and Cello Textures are a new go-to favorite for intuitive organic pad design. As a violinist and electronic musician, I love how this library brings the human lyricism of live bowed instruments together with an innovative automated filter structure. This makes it fun, easy and inspiring to dial in new textures with a few twists of the virtual knobs. These libraries sound beautiful, tactile, and engaging.”

RONIT KIRCHMAN COMPOSER

THE SINNER, EVIL EYE, LIMETOWN

I can’t begin to tell you how awesome this program is. It combines my favorite traits of strings and synth programming, and is perfect for film composers looking to add some character to their scores.

MATTHEW RAETZEL COMPOSER

FORGED IN FIRE, THE 11TH ORDER, RING OF SILENCE

Complete underscore & ambient gold! Violin Textures is a beautiful library of moving soundscapes, beating pulses, and GORGEOUS pads that will find a home in underscore and ambient music. Filled with emotional movement, Violin Textures can add depth and emotion to your tracks.

SAMPLE LIBRARY REVIEW

“Violin Textures is a fantastic addition to my scoring template. I am always on the search for sounds that can be used in a hybrid style of scoring. These sounds bridge between organic and electronic in a very inspiring way. They will get a lot of use in the future.“

DANNY LUX COMPOSER

MANIFEST, GREY’S ANATOMY, HALLOWEEN: RESURRECTION

Violin Textures is an incredible library that has the power to be the central and forefront part of a cue, or the nuance and subtlety of being an additional textural layer over a lush orchestration. Where Emergence Audio really shines is with how playable all the libraries are. EA’s libraries sound incredible even when playing and sketching them on a midi keyboard, whereas often other company libraries can sound artificial with unrealistic release/decays on the samples. Violin Textures sounds ready to go out of the box and there is a diverse range of presets, pads, pulses and controls to make it stand out in your own music!

SID ACHARYA COMPOSER

NASA, LISBON AQUARIUM, HOUSTON SPACE CENTRE

“My composition ‘Nebula’ was created exclusively using Violin Textures and Quantum. The sonic palettes that are afforded to you right off the bat are incredibly inspiring and provoke many compositional ideas. I particularly enjoyed how the instrument evolves over time, creating a rich bed for your piece to develop.“

FRASER A. CAMPBELL COMPOSER

“The Emergence Audio Violin Textures is a perfect tool for creating organic atmospheres and slowly building dramatic passages. Since the engine allows you to combine two articulations, the instrument is at its best creating natural feeling musical conversations; and there’s always a new story waiting!“

PHILOSOPHY

AN UNCOVENTIONAL APPROACH

Violin Textures is the first installment in our non-static string series. Expand your sonic possibilities with our Infinite Motion Engine™ and Non-Static Sampling™ which integrates emotion and synth programming all in one easy to use interface. 

We brought in the expertise of world-renowned violinist Francesca Dardani to help us create an emotionally moving nuance, and the results are stunning!

Our intuitive Infinite Motion Engine™ and Non-Static Sampling™ process allows you to blend and sculpt expressive sonic landscapes in new and unique ways that never feel static. Create pads, textures, soundscapes, drones and pulses for a wide range of genres including film, television and game scoring, contemporary era music, neo-classical music, ambient music, drone music, sound design, trailer music, new age/meditation music, and much more.

I have a few “string texture” plug-ins, but none of them compare to Violin Textures. There is a sonic quality to it that fits so well with a sound track but also makes it stand out.

Frank C.

Absolute beauty. The violin player is incredibly sensitive, and the programming and processing is at the same artistic level.

Jose L.

This library has brought so much more character to my music.

Karl V.

“Wonderful instrument, very easy to use and creates the most lush and emotive sounds. It’s like no other library I own. Highly recommended”

Dave C.

“Bravo Mike for creating such a stunning library that I have wanted for many years!

Matt R.

“It has that certain, special magic that’s quite hard to find, more than the some of its parts and especially at this price point. It breathes

VI-CONTROL Member

I must say this is an amazing product for an insanely low price. I’ve been looking for droney, textured, atmospheric pads like these for a while (and thats saying a lot since I own libraries like Omnisphere) and these are wonderful. Well worth the price that’s already low to begin with! Thanks and keep it up. Definitely gonna keep an eye on future releases.

Chris S.

WOW, I can say without hesitation these are the best soundscape libraries I have ever heard or used. So creative… so many possibilities.

Nick H.

Probably the finest software purchase I’ve made! Stunning organic textures.

Joanne S.

OMG! I love this SOOOO MUCH!!! Just what I was looking for!

Thom C.

I am in love. So, so expansive and lush

Jeff L.

“Installed this yesterday. Blown away by it. Already used it for a film trailer!”

Paul H.

“Really adds a lovely organic element to orchestral arrangements. It’s adding a great deal to my TV productions – quickly and efficiently.

It’s an excellent cost-benefit ratio in terms of the vibe added.”

Tim R.

I am loving this instrument.

Gareth W.

Just ordered my copy and tested it out! It’s like nothing I have ever played. Real violins sampled beautifully.

The sound, textures and effects have all but inspired my latest Super 8mm film project. 10/10 from me! Love it!

Rick A.

“Loving this library. 5 stars.”

Danny F.

“WOW, this is stunning!”

NUANCE THAT FEELS INFINITE

IT’S IN THE SUBTLE WHERE

THE BIGGEST CHANGE HAPPENS

NON-STATIC sAMPLING™

MOVEMENT THAT FEELS INFINITE

Non-Static Sampling™ is an approach developed by founder Michael Vignola that introduces a constantly evolving and unpredictable quality into a sonic environment, adding depth and realism. Rather than simply relying on a static and predetermined sample, this technique infuses each note sampled with subtle and unique variations in the performance that preserves the natural complexity and richness of live instrumentation. This keeps the listener engaged and the audio feeling fresh, emotive, and dynamic. We believe when combining this technique with our Infinite Motion Engine™ we have created a powerful and innovative new tool that allows users to instantly elevate their audio productions to new levels of authenticity and artistry. 

Beyond modulation

Underneath it all lies a carefully woven cascade of performed organic timbres developing independently over a long period of time.
