Karoryfer Samples Cello v1.000 [Sforzando]

FULL INFO BELOW:

A cello designed to be as flexible as possible, with controllable expressive vibrato and legato controls applied to close-miked samples. Sustain, staccato and pizzicato samples are included with up to four velocity layers and four round robins.

This collaborative release by Karoryfer Lecolds and bigcat instruments is a cello sample library for Plogue sforzando and Native Instruments Kontakt, which is intended to be flexible and easy to use. The recordings are close-miked, recorded without vibrato, and unprocessed, so theres no pre-baked reverb, compression or EQ. You can shape the vibrato and other aspects of the sound using the provided controls and external effects, which makes this cello especially suited to pop, rock or EDM tracks.

The cellist had just received her masters degree in cello performance a few days before these samples were recorded, and now performs with an orchestra. At the time the samples were originally recorded, she also was the cellist of a pop/rock string quartet. In her spare time, she enjoys pretending to ride sculptures of penny farthing bicycles.

All notes are sampled every minor third. There are also bonus harmonics slides and percussive noises mapped to the keys above the notes. Sustain (looped for infinite sustain), staccato and pizzicato samples are the main articulations.
