Embertone is taking pre-orders for their Friedlander Violin. They have this to say about it, "Welcome to violin heaven! We set out to create a virtual violin with malleable, intuitive controls, and an authentic, Living sound. From the beginning we wanted control over vibrato and dynamics, so we presented Dovid with an insane, almost athletic challenge: to record more than 3500 samples with musical purpose and a beautiful tone, and all without vibrato! This gives you your own layer of expressivity... a variety of musical parameters at your fingertips so that you can craft and phrase authentic performances."
