Soundiron Nightmare Violin
About
Introducing Nightmare Violin – an essential tool for horror composers. This bone-chilling library features a collection of eerie articulations, including unsettling pizzicato swarms, weaving ponticello sustains, haunting ricochets, and violent tremolos (6x round-robin) that will send shivers down your spine. But that's not all—Nightmare Violin also comes packed with 40 ominous textural pads and evolving drones, ideal for crafting dark, immersive soundscapes that pull your audience into the depths of fear.
We recorded this instrument in a dry studio environment, using a pair of Neumann TLM 102's and Sound Devices preamps to get maximum detail, clarity, fidelity and clean dynamic range. To take things further, we’ve also designed 20 custom FX presets to deliver an extra jolt of terror to your next film, video game score, soundtrack, or music project. These expertly crafted presets are engineered to instantly amplify the tension, creating nerve-wracking atmospheres that keep listeners on edge. Nightmare Violin is your key to unlocking a world of darkness, bringing haunting sound to life with every note.

The Kontakt interface includes a suite of automation-ready sound-shaping controls to give you total creative flexibility. You have control over swell, attack, release, offset, vibrato, filter, pitch (coarse & fine), articulation switching, cross-fading and layering, and so much more.
This library comes with an adaptable LFO system, with selectable LFO shape, modulation target parameter, speed, intensity, tempo-syncing and fade-in time. You can also apply your choice of 12 lowpass, high-pass and FX filters, with assignable modulation targets such as velocity, modwheel, expression, after-touch, key position and step-sequencer table control. Our customizable arpeggiator offers a velocity table and control over arp direction, timing, swing, randomization and duration. We’ve included a key and scale lock system to constrain your notes to common scales and keys for easy melodic composition and live performance.
The interface is rounded-out by our modular FX rack panel, with 27 different DSP effect modules that you can assign in any of 8 available slots, in any order that you wish. You’ll find classic phaser, flanger, delay, distortion, amp and cab simulators, compressors, EQ, rotator and so much more. The Reverb effect includes our favorite convolution reverb impulse responses, including 99 different rooms, halls, chambers and outdoor environments, plus another 40 custom FX impulses to radically transform the sound and open up whole new worlds of musical possibility. We’ve added a great bank of FX rack chain factory presets to get you started!
