Artist Series - Taylor Davis is a solo violin library and a part of Cinesamples' Artist Series. Her Violin legato library incorporates the same unique seamless legato recording and programming techniques as found in the Tina Guo StaffPad Edition, and CineStrings SOLO StaffPad Edition libraries. This legato allows for agile melodic passages, including a separately recorded upwards portamento. There are additional articulations including spiccato, marcato, tenuto, pizzicato, and open strings. Taylor Davis is an American violinist, arranger, and composer. Davis is best known for her violin-covers of music from video games featured on her YouTube channel, which has over 2.6 million subscribers. She also features performances of her own arrangements of music from films and musicals. Taylor has been performing for about 20 years, and studied privately for about 13 of those years. She plays a hand made Italian violin from the 1780s. This Muse Sounds Edition has been crafted to work exclusively within MuseScore Studio and StaffPad only; it will not work with other samplers or DAWs.

Great for solo violin

It sounds plain lovely. There's not much I've thrown at this soundfont that it couldn't handle, anything from pizzicato to short marcato sections to long legato passages seem to play just fine. Some minor tweaks and there like maybe cooling it with the reverb (reverb of course being something Musescore has multiple methods of allowing you to add more of if you so please, but when it's built into a soundfont it's not something you can take away very easily) and also not exaggerating the accents so much (mezzo-forte accents shouldn't sound deafening), but overall it is a vast improvement over any of the Musescore stock strings or Berlin Strings (solo or first chair) - for solo violin specifically. If you are looking for a string sound to double multiple violins with in an ensemble setting, this is not the soundfont for you.
