Sound Magic has released Cadenza Violin Version 2.0, its latest hybrid modeling virtual instrument for Mac (AU 32-/64-bit, VST 32-/64-bit) and Windows (VST 32-/64-bit).

Cadenza Violin Version 2.0 is based on an Italian handmade violin, and is powered by the latest Neo Orchestra Hybrid Modeling Engine.

Here’s what they have to say about it:

“Cadenza Violin Version 2.0 keeps the Italian handmade violin’s purity with crisp, clean, unaltered details free of reflections or coloring. In fact, Sound Magic used the SSL 9000 series console, along with legendary U47 and M49 Neumann vintage microphones, to ensure vivid representation in each note.

As technology advances, Cadenza Violin Version 2.0 improves very much in the easy to use aspect, and also makes it very affordable. Compared to version 1.0, version 2.0 can keep the same performance with a price tag only 1/4 of version 1.0’s original price. Also after changing to the watermark system, although it is vulnerable in protection against pirated, users can gain more freedom such as using it anywhere, and immediately after downloading it.

It’s this sound that leads Sound Magic to expand its Modeling Legato technology to bring musicians even more creative musical freedom. It is capable of supporting any technique, patches, or articulations with more control over the parametric. This allows musicians to manipulate shapes and sound variety in real time with smoother transitions between notes than a sampled legato.”
