Step into a world where the violin is reborn with the Vir2 Instruments Violence plugin. This groundbreaking Kontakt instrument pushes the boundaries of traditional violin sounds, transforming them into a rich tapestry of unconventional sonic textures. With over 80 meticulously crafted patches, Violence opens up endless possibilities for musicians and sound designers seeking a fresh perspective.

Inspired by the avant-garde experiments of John Cage, Violence dissects and reinterprets the solo violin using a variety of techniques. The instrument is recorded from multiple angles — bowed, scraped, struck, and plucked — using an array of tools like mallets, chopsticks, and even wet fingers. These recordings are then intricately layered and processed through an arsenal of effects, achieving sounds that seamlessly straddle the line between acoustic authenticity and electronic innovation.

Organized into four distinct categories—Drum Kits, Melodic, Pads and Sound Effects, and Tempo-Synced—each patch is equipped with a unique set of controls to allow deep customization. Whether you’re composing a film score or crafting an electronic track, Violence integrates effortlessly into any workflow, supporting VST, AudioUnit, and RTAS formats. The intuitive interface adapts to the loaded instrument, providing precise control over quantization, envelope, and effects, to name a few.

Key Features:

Over 80 unique patches spanning Drum Kits, Melodic, Pads and SFX, and Tempo Synced categories
Multi-angle recording techniques using unconventional tools
Customizable controls for each instrument, including quantization and envelope settings
Extensive effects suite featuring reverb, delay, flanger, and more
Compatible with Kontakt 4.1.1 and later, supporting VST, AudioUnit, and RTAS formats

The library’s modest size doesn’t hinder its potential, making it an enticing option for both film scores and club tracks. However, those seeking a larger collection may be left wanting. Overall, it's a fun and innovative tool for adventurous musicians.

Vir2 Instruments' Violence is a creative leap into avant-garde sound design, successfully channeling the spirit of John Cage through its unique approach to the violin. With 82 meticulously crafted instruments spanning drum kits to atmospheric pads, the quality is commendable, showcasing excellent Kontakt programming. However, while the original timbres are compelling, they may not cater to every musician's palette. Additionally, some tempo-synced grooves require adjustment to fit seamlessly into tracks. Overall, if you’re seeking fresh and innovative sounds, Violence is a worthy investment, though it may not appeal to traditionalists.
