I've been toying around with the idea (for a while now) to make
my own three violins patch, and I finally got around to doing my
first "rough draft" version of it... For those of you who want to
skip right to the audio clip then click this link:

tron, and it's definitely not Mellotron samples. I am also just
toying around, and not trying to do anything amazing in this audio
clip.
I got the idea one day to listen through a bunch of solo violin
pieces and wait for individual notes to be held out long enough to
extract them, tag them, and send them to there own folder. I had to
do this until I had three different takes of the same note, and then
I would mix each three, EQ them accordingly, and then render them
into single wav files in a seperate folder. As I was mixing and
rendering I would go ahead and import what I had into my virtual
sampler to test how the notes sounded when blended together and
whatnot. Even halfway through this little project I was starting to
get chills! My next step is to use real violins, brass sections,
flutes, choirs, and whatever else I can think of.... Cheers! -
