Fragile Violins
Fragile Violins is a virtual string instrument you can play with a MIDI keyboard or use in your music software. Recorded with three violinists, it captures an intimate, sometimes almost imperfect sound, with lots of movement and the character of real performances.
It is created for music that needs strings to feel close and human, from film scores and ambient pieces to songs and experimental tracks. It includes 12 playing styles that all have three sound options, from natural recordings to recordings through old tape decks to more processed textures.

Reviews
Fragile Violins
“Honestly, it’s incredible. The samples sound polished and hi-fi, but still have so much character. I especially love the Warp and Soma controls—you can create some really beautiful textures with them. There are some seriously cool horror sounds in here too. Rituals is wicked. This is my go-to library for textural writing and horror scoring. It feels incredibly inspiring to play.”
“LOVE the interface!! Also love how clean the dry sound is and how rich the reverb is. The mod wheel works great! and goddam this is fun to play. The mix actually is such a highlight. It sounds incredible right out the gate. This is the only library I know of that is al about textural sounds but the strings are still fully playable,”
“As someone who relies heavily on strings in her writing, this library is incredible. It fits the bill for a series I am scoring right now and will become part of my repertoire for many future projects. The price point makes it a no brainer to purchase.”
“Amazing stuff. You’ve really hit it out of the parK. Great recordings…not shrill, just the right amount of attack. Sounds like you’ve got legato programming in there, but not totally sure, the envelopes are just perfect for playing right out of the box. Articualtions all spot on. Mod wheel control feels super playable..feels like it’s a mix of layer switching or subtle filter cutoff but again just right, And the warp and soma controls whatever the fuck they are, feel exactly like the effect chain I might add to a library… Pitch randomization, filtering, granular blooms. Whatever,…uh, they just sound great.”
“this sounds incredible. It has a lot more character and movement than nearly any legato strings vst I have ever used, Now that I have the full version of Fragile Violins, it has been consistently the first string library I load up for any film I work on. So expressive, so unique, so real. Thanks for your awesome work on this”
“Just bought the full version now. Wonderful Library. Too bad I just finished a lengthy project where I definitely would have used this instrument.”
“I am happy to have this new tool in my palette and I’m impressed with what you have created here”
“This is truly wonderful! So glad I picked it up”
“A unique take on this kind of instrument. I love the raw sound, the instability, the surprising little performances that make it come to life. All of the patches are instantly inspiring, and it made me reach for different chords and sequences. Playing the lower registers in some patches is amazing - so many rich and surprising textures. Things are evolving and changing perpetually, especially when you play chords, and it's just endlessly interesting. Vita through Umbra are gorgeous to play as beautiful, emotional patches. Aurora starts to get a bit of a hint of horror/unsettling, and it ramps beautifully through the rest. Oblivium - holy shit! - that one made me laugh out loud in surprise, it's so good. Nothing is so specific that it becomes a one-and-done instrument. The UI is great. All intuitive and sensible. I love the moon slider!! The individual patch icons are so cool - the whole thing has a great mysterious feel and with hints of the alchemical, which I find super fun. It's got every control I would want, and doesn't complicate unnecessarily. The addition of the processed sounds is brilliant and adds a lot. I especially dig the SOMA patch - it makes it sound like a really unique, unstable, modern synth patch, and with the filtered moon-slider it really comes to life.”
“I've got this library and it's highly recommended. Organic, intimate, and very intuitive to use. Get the full version for sure, it's worth it.”
“This Library sounds Fantastic”
“Goddamn I'm writing this whole thing with only this instrument!!!!!!”
Fragile Violins Free
The free version only allows you to use one articulation, but that articulation sounds (and looks) absolutely beautiful. The GUI is slick and professional looking, and the sounds are top-notch. I'm not sure exactly what the built-in reverb is modeled off of, but it can get pretty huge. I can't wait for this to be released and would love it if Lo made a Solo Cello library like this.
Honestly, this violin sample is pretty damn good! It sounds really realistic and has a nice emotional vibe to it. The quality is solid, and it fits easily into different types of beats and songs. Definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for some dope violin sounds. Pretty sick overall!
The only downside is not being able to afford the full version after having had a taste of this. Absolutely FANTASTIC sound and texture - and of course - the GUI.
I found what i was searching for long time. It's time to stop looking longingly at plugins that take all my salary out of my pockets. Yes. It's a day of joy. I can fill my library with strings and piano and other super real instruments.
What a wonderful library - cannot wait for the full version. The sounds being stretched out like this seems to give you an entire string section, if you wanted it. Also loving the GUI too - I've never seen DS used in this way before.
I love it. Maybe I'll be able to get the whole library in the future, because this is what I was looking for. Amazing
Down loaded this earlier today and have only played about with it for 10 minutes but the quality of the sound and character shone through immediately. Even with only the one articulation this is very, very good. The GUI is lovely, just needs slightly bigger type on the smallest commands which is the only thing that makes me hang back from giving that a full five stars, everything else though is brilliantly conceived. This will be a definite upgrade when the paid version is completed. Well done Sir.
Nice addition for those creating cinematic music! Appreciate it!
The characterful sound immediately stands out. The instrument thrives on its fragility and humanity rather than pure perfection. These imperfections give the violins a wonderful emotional depth, making them perfect for minimalist or cinematic arrangements. What also stands out is the graphical interface. It’s not only beautifully designed, but without exaggeration the best GUI I’ve seen for Decent Sampler so far. Congratulations on that!

It has great sound... the interface is very easy to use and looks great. Great job!!
ESTA BIEN TENER SONIDOS NUEVOS Y ESTA PEQUEÑA LIBRERIA PUEDE VALER PARA REALIZAR SECUENCIAS DE CUERDAS...
