Native Instruments has announced an update to the Cremona Quartet Solo virtual instrument by e-instruments.
A free update, version 2.0 heightens the realism of the four iconic Cremona string instruments with the introduction of True Vibrato – recorded vibrato performances from professional musicians captured in the iconic Auditorium Arvedi in Cremona, Italy.
Two Ways To A Powerful Tool for Any Music Creator
Cremona 2.0 offers the best of both worlds. The new True Vibrato brings a profound emotional depth to the Virtuoso, Sustain, and Marcato playing styles with their recorded true vibrato articulations. Meanwhile, the Flex Vibrato retains the Cremona’s signature performance-captured control and flexibility, now enhanced with smoother legato transitions and an improved overall sound.
“This update is all about emotional connection,” said PJ Gibbs, Marketing Lead at e-instruments. “Whether you want hands-on control or the feel of a real vibrato performance, Cremona 2.0 lets you express more with every note.”
The Cremona Quartet Solo collection is a set of deeply expressive virtual instruments that allows users to create authentic-sounding compositions with a high level of playability, perfect for today’s composers and producers.
This update applies to the Cremona Quartet Solo, Stradivari Violin and Stradivari Cello, providing a comprehensive upgrade for all these instruments.

- 24 GB of new sample content (6 GB per instrument).
