Welcome to Cremona Quartet Ensemble
Welcome to the Cremona Quartet Ensemble online manual. Learn how to use all features in detail and create your own sounds.
Cremona Quartet Ensemble reimagines four legendary stringed instruments as a unified ensemble. It features the Stradivari Violin, the Stradivari Cello, the Guarneri Violin, and the Amati Viola, all seamlessly integrated into a single Kontakt instrument. Its advanced auto divisi system allows you to create ultra-realistic string quartet arrangements with ease, using just one keyboard.
All long articulations include both non-vibrato and natural, musically-performed vibrato samples, as well as polyphonic fingered and portamento legato to provide realistic note transitions at your fingertips.
Control Cremona Quartet Ensemble via the Articulation Matrix, which lets you design your own complex combinations of articulations across all four instruments and activate them by pressing custom keys.
The dynamics and expression controls, together with the streamlined mixer, give you all the sonic possibilities from a close-miked, intimate quartet ensemble to a large and lush chamber orchestra-like sound.
