Taking everything we've learned making the other Vengeful strings, we've finally completed the set and sampled a violin. As you'd expect, there are more than two dozen articulations, and layering patches for thousands of articulation combinations. We worked with the excellent Mateusz Moś to record this, so even the harshest articulations are consistent, controlled and musical.
We pedantically refuse to call these strings a string quartet - a string quartet is two violins, and no bass.
