THAT BECAME A REAL BOY The magic of the Soul Capture Series is the ability to play as the performer, someone who has spent a lifetime practicing and honing their abilities, with their personality projected through their instrument... A REAL PERFORMANCE. THE WORLDS FIRST VIOLIN VIRTUAL PERFORMER A lifetime of Violin performing and incredibly mind boggling scripting, all wrapped into a single package for you to play and compose.

APPLY CHANGES NOTE: to apply the settings of this page, you must click Apply.

OPEN BROWSER Click on the folder icon to open the library browser. OPEN SOUNDBANKS Click on Soundbanks dropdown and the Bohemian Violin will appear below, click on the Bohemian Violin to open the patch column. Here in the patch column you can choose to open a patch which is suitable for your use. Patch 1: Bohemian_Violin_v3 - This is the default patch which will load all the samples upon launch. Patch 2: Bohemian_Violin_v3_Fast_Load - This is the fast load patch which will load the program with essential samples only. The remaining samples will load in upon first note played. To ensure the library loads fast in your saved projects, please purge the library prior to final save in your DAW. Double click the patch you wish to open and the Library will start to load. 10 ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS BACKGROUND LOADING BACKGROUND LOADING We have given you a choice of patches to load, a full load patch (Standard load time) and Purged patch which only loads the necessary samples and leaves the rest purged (Shorter Load time). With the Purged patch, the samples will load in upon first note played. You can also purge and load samples within the user interface on the fly. PURGE SAMPLES Purge all samples, the library will become unresponsive during this short process. This function is essential to use prior to saving your project if you use fast load patch, so next time you load your project, the samples will be purged speeding up load time. (If Auto Load is off, Samples will not play until you have clicked the Load Samples button) LOAD SAMPLES This fully loads the library, you can still play the library while loading the samples, although you may hear pops and clicks during the loading. (A loading samples notification will appear until fully loaded) AUTO LOAD SAMPLES Will Automatically load the purged samples on first note played. While the library is loading the Loading Samples overlay will be active and the UI will not be accessible. Most memory efficient, suitable for SSD only, playback may be temporarily interrupted due to the background loading of samples.
