Global Soundspace released a free (for now) library called Violation. Subscribing to their newsletter is required.
Violation, as its name suggests, aims to break the norms of traditional sample libraries and educate its users on Western classical modern & contemporary compositional violin techniques. The sample library has been created to serve the composers and sound designers who are looking for a different approach to their projects. Unique timbers and percussion effects comprising this sample library are the outcome of studio recordings without any trace of digital signal processing effects. That way you will always know how the specific techniques you used in your project will sound in live reproduction. Furthermore, the library will automatically notate in score any sample you play.
Instruments
The library is consisting of four instruments
– Pitched Percussion
– String Percussion
– Body Percussion
– Scrapes & Whispers
