inouï samples “Sweet Acoustic Textures - Viola” for Kontakt

inou samples SAT GUI

Viola is both a traditional virtual instrument and a random acoustic textures generator. It features a selection of 15 classic, less common and unheard playing techniques such as harmonic bisbigliando, flautando sul ponticello and much more.

The 2904 selected samples were recorded on a 1941 Ernest Ledler viola with an italica backplate in short and neutral acoustics, without any concession choosing the gears, then treated with the greatest care in the respect of the instrument tone.

Sweet Acoustic Textures - Viola is designed for composers and producers who are looking for the warm tone of viola or looking to create unheard acoustic textures.
