Part of Musical Sampling’s Atelier Series, Amy brings the emotional depth of a professional solo violinist to your compositions. Meticulously recorded in a scoring stage, this library features 2,800+ samples (24-bit/48kHz) with true legato transitions between expressive sustains, lyrical portamentos, and passionate détaché bowing. The dynamic vibrato engine allows real-time control over intensity and speed, while three mic positions (close, decca, wide) offer cinematic spatial flexibility. Like other Atelier Series instruments, Amy prioritizes playability - trigger performance ornaments via keyswitches and shape phrases with intuitive CC modulation.

Atelier Series Amy is a legato vocal release intended for emotional and cinematic contexts.

For this we wanted a tone that was somewhere between classical and pop. As luck would have it, our co-producer knew someone who not only fit the brief but also had the kind of vocal stamina this project required. Enter Amy Griffin; a talented vocalist and music educator. 

We’ve included two extensively-recorded legato patches performed “long-style”. This means there are no programmed crossfades into a target sustain after playback of the legato interval. This involves far more recording time (12 hours in this case) than traditional legato sampling but ensures a seamless performance that also retains Amy’s natural progression in vibrato; musically-unique for every interval across the range. 

Also included is Everlasting – a collection of beautiful, vowel-evolving sustains processed with a variety of hardware pedals. Every sample ebbs and flows; each note unique in how they evolve and loop. This keyswitch suite includes six presets: Beauty, Tundra, Celestial, Elysium, The Signal and Creation.
