Effortless Quartet Composition

Access the full quartet instantly from your keyboard – perfect for fast sketching and arranging. The Cremona Quartet Ensemble is the ideal choice for composers who want to create arrangements quickly without sacrificing depth or quality. The dynamic Auto Divisi feature and the advanced articulation controls make it a breeze to evoke the expressive nature of the entire quartet.

Dynamic Auto Divisi

This advanced technology dynamically distributes chords of up to four notes across the quartet, adapting in real-time to the number of notes played for authentic ensemble compositions. It also provides the flexibility to pause any instrument, allowing you to create intricate, emotive arrangements easily.  

Experience seamless polyphonic legato as the Cremona Ensemble delivers fluid, natural transitions across all long articulations, preserving the authenticity of your compositions. Whether crafting delicate movements or intricate harmonies, the advanced auto divisi system ensures the quartet’s rich, cohesive sound.

The unison keyswitch allows all instruments to play the same note, which is excellent for melodies or moments of intense expression. The Cremona Ensemble’s Auto Divisi feature offers a dynamic and intuitive approach to creating music that resonates with historical depth and contemporary finesse.

Articulation Matrix

The Articulation Matrix allows you to customise your quartet and set up each instrument with its own unique articulation. Assign and recall up to 32 articulation sets using key switches, allowing for seamless transitions between styles.
