A Beautiful Sounding, Highly Flexible and Deep Featured Solo Violin
The Showroom Violin is a gorgeous solo violin sample library featuring a huge 14 individual articulations and 5 different microphone positions to choose from.
Legato articulations:
- Slurred Legato – changing notes with the finger only (not bow) for a smooth transition
- Bowed Legato – changing notes with the finger and bow, for a more noticeable change (mix with slurred legato for a realistic performance)
- Polyphonic – play multiple notes together at the same time
Shorts
- Col Legno – striking the string with the stick, rather than hair of the bow
- Pizzicato – plucking the string
- Spiccato – bouncing the bow on the string
- Slides Up – sliding up to the note
Long articulations:
- Sul pont – bowed near the bridge to give more harmonics / nasal tone
- Tremolo – single note played repeatedly with the bowe
- Harmonics – natural harmonics created by lightly touching the string with the finger an octave above the fingered note (light and ethereal sound)
- Trills S-Ton – rapidly alternating between two notes, a semitone above the played note
- Trills Ton – rapidly alternating between two notes, a tone apart
- Trills Min3 – rapidly alternating between two notes, a minor 3rd apart
- Trills Maj3 – rapidly alternating between two notes, a major 3rd apart
The Showroom Violin is perfect for film/TV/game underscore, pop, rock and anything that requires a beautiful, lush solo violin!

I had several Solo violin products which didn’t provided with the sound I was looking for. The Showroom Violin is the best price performance Violin I could find. Great product for the money!

This plugin is a great add on for any existing string and orchestral collections. It gives a different color and flavor than the other violins I use. This helps me to create a more realistic over all sound with my string work.

I’ve had my eyes on this for more than a year and finally earned enough points to grab it as a vault reward, and I just love it!! I have another solo violin that is quite nice, but this one has a slightly different tone, different articulations and different mic control. Each of the instruments can serve better in different situations, but using them together is where even more magic can be found! They work hand in hand! But this violin is all you need… I recommend layering the pad-sounding longs with different articulations for the similar incredible results. Next, I would love to see a Showroom Viola or Cello to go with this!

Great sounding strings. A great way to integrate these sounds. I had been looking for violins that were realistic. Showroom Violin answered my search
