Venice Modern Strings by FluffyAudio Released
If Venice were a violin, the canals would be its strings, gondolas would be its player and the sea its luthier.
Everything about Venice resembles an age-old fairy tale, or, as observed by Gerolamo Bardi, more than four centuries ago in his “About the Notable Things of Venice”; an impossible-possibility, a grandiose wonder, standing so far from the norm that it even can’t be considered a human creation but instead has to be placed unswervingly in the realm of God. Venice Modern Strings by has been released now and available for an introductory price for 349$ / € till June, 20th!
Along with Brescia and Cremona, Venice has given rise to some of the most renowned master luthiers, setting the benchmark for perfection in violin craftsmanship and sound. With this in mind, we decided to sample an Orchestra from Venice and its surrounding areas in the city of Crema, aiming to achieve a modern sound whilst maintaining these same traditions and aspirations for perfection.
When FluffyAudio started they could only dream about sampling an Orchestra. At that time the idea seemed inconceivable, something of dreams, at least as hard and improbable as building a city on the sea. Well, that day has now arrived, and, despite some skepticism, sooner than we could have ever imagined.
Matteo Marzaro, Glauco Bertagnin, Leonardo Sapere, Alessandro Pandolfi and Michele Maulucci are just some of the tremendous musicians the FluffyAudio team have had the honor to work with. The Orchestra is their family and Venice their theatre. They have learned to breathe together, and together with music, they form the soul, flesh, and blood of one of the most incredible organisms that humankind has ever envisioned and achieved: The Orchestra.

The sound of the ocean, the sea breeze, surfers riding the waves of the ocean, and of course the unmistakable sound of the ukulele! So here it is an instrument that in its simplicity is able to evoke atmospheres full of colors and emotions.
Simple Ukulele features the new Fluffy Audio Strummer 2.5, a new version of the strumming engine developed in Rinascimento and Spaghetti Western.

Simple Ukulele is available now. Intro price available!

Cory’s Library Spotlight – Venice Modern Strings
Cory’s Library Spotlight – Venice Modern Strings
Venice Modern Strings is a sampled string orchestra for Kontakt 5 which features 8 first violins, 6 second violins, 5 violas, 5 cellos and 3 doublebasses.
The library features three kinds of legato: portamento, fingered legato and bow change legato. These can be triggered either by velocity, by MIDI CC or by Pitchwheel. Moreover there’s a control for the amount of vibrato.
There’s a polyphonic legato engine, mainly derived by Dominus, Staccato and Staccatissimo articulations, Short and Long Arcs and a small selection of sustain articulations. Every articulation has a set of advanced controls: you can change the parameters to have a more agile legato, dynamically stretch the Arcs to adapt them into your piece or control the velocity curve for articulations like Pizzicato, Staccato and Staccatissimo.
All the long articulations may be modulated by the morph engine: this allows to create custom articulations by dynamically modulating two different string techniques, in many different ways.
The library also includes single articulation patches, ensembles and low memory footprint patches.
