The Chris Hein Solo Viola Extended is the ultimate virtual viola. It surpasses all previous viola libraries. Three violas were carefully recorded with endless details, then precisely edited and combined into a practical and musical instrument for NI's Kontakt Player. It comes with an elaborate, custom - tailored user - interface and comprehensive scripting. This library features high - grade sound quality and incredibly realistic articulations. You'll get over 20,000 samples, up to 38 articulations, four different legato transitions, and extensive phase - alignment for smooth crossfades of up to eight velocity layers. Thanks to producer Chris Hein's 30 - year experience, it offers high versatility, configurability, and practical use. It includes three solo viola instruments: VLA1 Solo Viola, VLA2 Canadian Viola (EX - instrument), and VLA3 French Viola (EX - instrument). Whether as a solo or part of an ensemble, it delivers outstanding, detailed, and expressive results in various genres from classical to pop. It also provides sound - designers and composers with special effect - sounds and uncommon articulations, supported by an internal tenfold DSP - effects - rack. You can create complex soundscapes from a single viola.




Using the Chris Hein Solo Viola Extended is easy. First, install it on your computer with NI's Kontakt Player. When you start using it, you can explore the custom - tailored user - interface to select different articulations and samples. For best results, make sure your computer has enough resources, but don't worry, the EX - instruments are optimized to save some. When you're creating your music, feel free to mix and match the three different viola instruments to get unique sounds.
