Hi Guys and Girls,
Bohemian Violin V3 including the Expansion 2 is now officially Released,
Thank you all for your patience and continued support. We couldn’t be doing what we do without your help and your amazing ideas.
Quick Overview of the Expanded Version is here.
Install Steps For Existing Users:
1.Please update your UVI Workstation to the newest version. Only the newest version supports all the script features we have used, so the library requires UVI Workstation 3.0.5+ to run!
2. Download the Bohemian Violin V3 incl EXP2. (8.5 GB required for download and the library will take 9.2
3. Unpack the downloaded file and place the resulting UFS into your mounting folder.
4. Existing Users do NOT need to reactivate. This version answers to the same licence as Expansion 1 or base version!
The Expanded version is free for all existing users, so you can just login and begin your download.
Once you login, you will see your download link in the download section of your account. We have released it in Single Version at 48Khz as that is the most efficient version to use and in 99% of the setups, the best version to use.
The 96Khz version will be made available in 2 weeks and will be available on request only as unless the user runs project set to 96Khz, using the 96Khz version will simply increase the memory load for no gain as the hosting DAW would have to downsample to lower sample rate at real time which causes CPU spikes and sonically often results in worse quality then using the perfectly resampled 48khz version. Having 2 versions on downloads lead to a lot of confusion and often users ended up using incorrect version for their needs, so we have decided to keep things simple going forward.
Legacy Versions have also been removed from the downloads as they often lead to confusion (especially for new customers), but they are available on requests, so if you have old projects that need the legacy versions and you lose your UFS, you can email us for a download link of any version required.
Over the course of next few weeks we will look forward to hearing what you compose using this evolved version and we look forward to releasing the Expansion 3 (already in works) as soon as possible. We will also populate the tutorials in similar fashion to our Cello to make sure, you can all get the most out of the violin, so we will share all our tips and tricks with you and describe each feature in more detail as there is a lot of features to go through now and the Overview is only a brief fly over
We have also updated the Manual, which is now very detailed and we hope you find it helpful. Manual is available on the product page.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR AMAZING SUPPORT!!!

Here is a live captured improv using Expansion 2 Beta release candidate build. All we are doing now is final UI passes and we expect to upload over the weekend, so beta for those who are on the beta team will start as soon as we get encoding back (usually pretty fast) and release is planned for June. Once in beta we will do more videos showing all the extra cool features coming in EXP2
Expansion 2 brings about over 20,000 new samples of Bow changed legato, repetitions and much more (Yes including non vibratos bow types ) !
Stay in musical flow from the first note till the last, using our In Momentum Musical Capture technique.
Thank you for all your support and we can not wait to finally get this beast into your hands

Cello Expansion 1 release info
We are finally here - the day we can show off the Cello and what we have been up to all this time. As usual with us, this is a live improvisation without any force keys/keyswitches or mood changes. Of course as with the EXP1 for the violin, we have moods in this version of the Cello too as well as a completely new GUI (which will make it's way to EXP2 of the violin and we will show it off more in the Overview at some point next week if beta goes well ).
As you have probably noticed a lot has changed since version one. This expansion contains over 35 thousand new samples and effectively replaces the old Cello. In the end we have decided to change the Cellist to improve the library beyond it's original potential. This meant starting from scratch, but it delivers an instrument that fits our vision and delivers much richer timbre. Of course this expansion is free for all existing users . This technically means that you will now have 2 different cellos - the original base and the new Expanded version.
Overview of the Expanded Cello!
Thank you all for your patience and support and we look forward to hearing your thoughts

We are very proud to present our First ever showing of our brand New library.
For over a year we have worked on a completely new way of making Virtual Instruments. Instead of making another Virtual Instrument we have made a Virtual Performer. This is his first public performance!
We Present to you the Bohemian Violin - First ever violin performer and first in our new Soul Capture series.

EXPANSION 1 Details
We are finally ready to unveil the details of our planned Expansion 1. These approved features should make it into the Expansion 1 which we plan to release on 30th November. We have many months and months of hard work behind us and I believe that still many sleepless night of tweaking ahead of us, but we hope that you find the list as exciting as we do. It has been thanks to your patience, that we were able to test many different approaches to legatos and come up with a solution that would make me happy and deliver a believable performance.

A Video Overview of the Expansion 1
In this video as usual I haven't used any CC or Keyswitches or any post midi editing. It is a live take using one of the presets called Improv.
Expansion 1 features 3 behavioral presets that can be changed on the fly by 3 keyswitches - Each presets amends the way the performer handles incoming notes and addresses them in said style. We call these presets - "Moods"
Moods available in Expansion 1 are - Improv (featured in the video above - easy to play and most flexible- uses almost all available bow types), Czardas (Lots of momentum in this one ) and Finally Emotive ( ideal for the slower tunes which just need to play on the right heart string in lower dynamics)
For More demos and info please check out www.virharmonic.com
Thank you for your support, your patience and we look forward to hearing what you think.
Warm Regards

Thank you guys
