Whats in the Instant?

Choose a Mood and let the Virtual Performer select the appropriate articulations based on your playing input.

3 Performer Moods which alters how the performer plays:

  • Improv - Offers the most variety and is a great way to sketch out random ideas.
  • Assertive - Great for fast, aggressive or energetic pieces.
  • Classical - Favours agile, fingered legato

The Performer can choose from a staggering amount of multi dynamic Legatos with numerous Round Robins:

  • Quarter Legato for agile fast pieces
  • Half Legato, ideal for expressive parts
  • Whole legato for emotional pieces
  • All the above are also available as Bow-change legato up to 12 interval distance

Other articulations available to the Virtual Performer:

  • Arc - opening Crescendo with a soft start
  • Mid Arc - Crescendo which diminishes into a Diminuendo (De-crescendo)
  • Marcato - Sharp immediate attack for escalation or dramatic emotion.
  • Run/Trill - Automatically kicks in when playing fast!

Don't take our word for it

I've used virharmonic solo strings on countless of scores and albums. Their tone is unparalleled - beautiful, emotionally diverse and highly playable. Probably the best solo strings libraries out there.

Virharmonics Bohemian Violin and Cello have very quickly become a staple in my template. With their incredible expressiveness and - even more important - outstanding playability, they allow me to sketch ideas extremely fast and efficiently. And more often than not, they do stay in the final production.

Amazing throughout.

the virtual performer

Part of an expanding series of performers, the Instant Cello is a Light Edition of the Bohemian Cello, which was created to free you to perform real Cello Performances fast, without the need to be a cellist yourself.

To achieve realism, we recorded an unprecedented amount of samples for a solo instrument, but managing all this by loading individual patches would be slow and cumbersome and stifle inspiration.

This is where the virtual performer comes in, controlling all the varied legatos, bow types and emotive expressions as you play, all from one patch and all in real time.
