Violonair is a Kontakt instrument from Loot Audio, inspired by the viola da gamba. It offers articulations, dynamic tuning and editable sound design, and it requires the full version of Kontakt.
Violonair is a virtual instrument from Loot Audio built around the viola da gamba, a bowed string instrument from the Renaissance era. It runs inside Kontakt as a Kontakt instrument. The developer built it around a set of articulations and a dynamic tuning script, so the sound can be played expressively in a sequenced or live-played part. It needs the full version of Kontakt, not the free Kontakt Player.
Loot Audio created a dedicated script called Dynamic Tuning for Violonair. According to the developer, each note sounds with slightly different tuning, which gives the sound an evolving, organic character.
The instrument offers a range of articulations, including three modes of harmonics and a number of editable special effects. These let you shape the performance for slow lines, sustained textures or more varied phrases.
Articulations can be switched in real time using the mod wheel or key switches. Each note offers five dynamic levels and multiple round robins, which helps avoid repetition when playing the same notes often.
A wave editor lets you adjust the sonic palette, and memory banks store your edits so you can recall them later.
