SYMPHONIC: Hammered Violin for Ableton Live

Charming Air KLANG’s SYMPHONIC range consists of orchestral instruments like violins, flutes, french horns and other instruments. KLANG tried to capture recordings of these familiar instruments from rather different perspectives, like playing with special and uncommon articulations or sending through various modular effects and much more. In KLANG’s recording room they have a lot of xylophone mallets and old broken piano hammers lying around. KLANG wanted to create a different type of violin sound, so they played a violin with a piano hammer and a xylophone mallet instead of the typical bow. They ended up with a unique violin sound. Additionally, they programmed a sequencer so that you can easily play rhythmic patterns in any way you like.
