The 8Dio Electric Violin is our first product using our new Fusion Modeling techniques – giving you
unprecedented ability to control the instrument. The end-result is an incredibly acrobatic instrument
that allows you to play legato as fast as you want with complete fluency and playability.



The new Fusion Modeling offers you the choice to use Physical Modeling techniques for vibrato or
conventional crossfaded deep-sampling. We also added our new Flow-Bow™ technology to all legato
sustains, so you can repeat the same note and get natural variation in it. All you have to do is
hold down your sustain pedal and a new repeated note will be generated in sustains.



The Electric Violin also contains a wealth of short-notes, including pizzicato, short/fast spiccato,
staccato etc. We included our new Bow-Bouncer, which allows you to quickly generate complicated
short-note patterns with a single click on the keyboard. Also included is 6 variations of Dynamic
Bowings and Trills going all the way from Half-Notes to Perfect Fourth.



You also get things like harmonics, col legno and 7 assorted banks of Electric Violin effects.

The Electric Violin contains two different FX systems. We included our new Chaos FX 3.2 system to the
instrument and created a completely new FX section specifically for the Electric Solo Violin, so you literally
have any FX you can think of (Dual Convolution, Arp, Chorus, Skreamer, Distortion, Phaser, Rotator,
Dual Stereo Delay, Bit Crusher etc) at your finger tips.



The Electric Violin also contains a large section of small naturally occuring artifact sounds (ex. x-noises).
You can fully control the volume and frequency of them, but they help create a more realistic experience
by adding small imperfections into your playing style. We could go on and on, but words are not enough to
describe this instrument.
