is it possible recreate this playing technique?

[NP-H]

Hi there,

As the title suggest
is it possible to create something similar to this using a Sample library, Vst plugin or a DAW software?

i am talking about that violin playing technique i don't know what its called
but there is something similar to it in guitar playing which is called a legato slide

thanks

You would need to use something like a world music library. Kontakt has a nice fiddle patch in it's factory library that would come close. There is a also a hammered dulcimer in the background playing the same thing as the fiddle. Violinists and fiddlers would call this technique a partial trill or mordant (neighbour tone)

bandcoach,

Thanks for your replay

is there a tutorial on doing this somewhere?

and did you ever come across a violin or a strings library that has a sample of the partial trill?

i got some string libraries but they has different trills than the one i want

Avoid using the trills.
This is generally achieved as a single bow, multiple note phrase when played by a violinist/fiddler.

So the trick is to find if you can force a single bow over multiple notes in your sample libraries. Some do this by using the sustain pedal to trigger and release single bows, others use notes outside the range of the instrument to do the same thing.

I would go so far as to say avoid using trills, just know how to go about them.

If you're using a sampler with some violin strings or whatever, just turn on the legato setting, make sure polyphony is set to 1, and crank up the portamento a bit. Now, if you keep a key pressed down and press another at the same time, it will pitch bend up or down to that note and it won't retrigger the sample or play multiple notes at once. Ideal for creating trills or reeeeeling ****in basslines.

In this case, though, the notes are articulated as a left hand hammer/pull; a technique first devised and used by Nicollo Paganini, who also played guitar at a virtuoso level.

So portamento won't cut it whereas legato will assit. I'm not certain though that any particular sampler will re-trigger the first note if it is held through the second note.
