3.5 HOLLYWOOD SOLO VIOLIN
The Hollywood Solo Violin Opus Edition library is designed to work together with the
other libraries in the Hollywood Orchestra Opus Edition series.
While it includes the same number of microphone positions, and many of the same fea-
tures, the microphone configuration is designed for solo instruments, as opposed to a
full orchestra. Instead of the surround and vintage surround microphone positions used
in the full orchestra, the Hollywood Solo Violin includes vintage alternatives for the close
and mid microphone positions.
In the Hollywood Solo Violin, dynamics and vibrato depth are linked together on the
Mod Wheel (CC1), whereas the Hollywood Orchestra series offers independent control of
dynamics and vibrato depth. Also, a new type of Legato instrument is available (Legato
Sustain) that combines legato and sustain articulations into one sample layer, allowing
for more continuity over the duration of a note.
