[A Duet With the Maestro Himself!] The Joshua Bell Violin (Developer’s Thread)

LinusW said:
I actually did a sneaky ”Joshua Bell cello” for my current theatre performance.
I played a part at double time, exported clips at 96kHz and then opened the file interpreted as 48 kHz in an audio editor. Used match eq reference from an actual cello and applied it on my repitched JBV.
The slow legato was gorgeous.

Interesting!
Do you have an audio file to hear it? I am really curious.
 
Hi,

I just completed a piece for violin and piano using the Joshua Bell violin, and I'm thrilled with the results; so much so, that I really am hoping that sharing the piece here will result in those of you on the fence about getting this violin library from Embertone, will jump at it. It's night and day different from the previous solo violin I was using and will become a regular go to for me from now on.

I love this instrument! Joshua Bell in my studio, and I don't have to pay him (or feed him after a long recording session!) lol

Alright! I revisited the project file and discovered I tried several ways to pitch it down.
It turns out the method I used in the final version was not a part played in double tempo and slowed down.
I played the violin in normal tempo, exported in 88.2 kHz, interpreted as 44,1 and then used time compression (negative time stretch) to speed the slow audio up to normal tempo. Then audio was processed with eq plugins and multiband envelopes.
 
Just waiting to hear back about my education discount, then im buying this in a heartbeat. I have the Blakus cello and it is probably one of my most used solo instrument libraries. Everything embertone does is beyond fantastic, I wish you guys had an everything bundle because I would strongly consider it ;)

such great demo of various articulations !! should have been featured as one of the official demos of Joshua Bell Violin.
 
Yesterday I had the pleasure to hear Joshua Bell play Beethovens great Violin concerto, with the Danish National radio orchestra. He is a magnificent musician. He plays with such an ease, intense, dynamic and beautiful tone. I think it is 15-18 years since I last time listen to Beethovens Violin concerto. I have forgot what a masterpiece it is.
The concert was peformed in the 11 year old Danish radio concert house. It is a beautiful hall with a lovely tone and timbre.
While enjoying the concert, smiling to myself, I thougth “I have Joshua’s violin on my computer” :grin:.

Thank you Embertone.
 
Does anyone know if there have been any updates after version 1.0 ?? I remember hearing the developers saying in a video that they were planning an update a few weeks after it launched.

Good question, I know of at least one legato bug which has not been fixed.
 
We ARE working on an update. Sorry for the late response. We are adding some features that I think everyone here will appreciate very much. IF you have specific bugs/issues, please do email us support@embertone (if you haven't already)

Thanks!

Good news - already a STUNNING library! Did you get Yo Yo Ma for the cello edition? :)

If they do a cello like the Joshua Bell Violin, it’ll blow everything else out of the water.

IMHO several of Embertone's solo instruments blow everything else out of the water (at least in terms of what I've had to compare them to), and as high as I am on JB, I am still happy with the ISS instruments (especially the Fischer Viola and the Leonid Bass) and would rather beseech Embertone to focus on creating a complete set of orchestral woodwinds to compliment the fabulous Herring Clarinet, which I believe is as good of a clarinet as JB is a violin.

somewhere back in time('bout 8 months ago) there was a rumor of an update of ISS,so that violin-cello would be as playable as the rest!!
