8Dio Studio Quartet Series: Deep Solo Cello (Kontakt)

Solo Cello Studio Quartet Series: Deep Solo Cello marks a new leap in sampling for us. We’ve recorded one of the greatest solo cellists of our time, Principal Cello of the BBC and other orchestras, sampling 88 articulations in ultra-deep detail, ranging from true polyphonic legato to a multitude of short note variations, dozens of velocity arcs, twelve different ostinatos and performance-based articulations. Recorded in controlled studio conditions at Scotland’s leading recording studio, Gorbals Sound, the cello is captured in incredible detail and without compromise using dual-mic technology.

All in one Studio Quartet Series allows you to load the perfect set of articulations needed for your specific project. You can customize the key switches and save your own patches for quick access. There are 88 performance styles and articulations, organized into 6 main categories: Shorts, Longs, Bowed, Bowed FX, Measured and Performance. With the included individual patches for each articulation, you can load exactly what you need for your workflow.

Our Performer – Your Tempo Deep Solo Cello offers a vast collection of fully tempo-synced patterns and short phrases, including smooth portato passages, detachĂ©, measured tremolo and more. The Performance category features several phrases: Tuplet, Triplet, Swing and JetĂ© (RicochĂ©t), all with different dynamics and circular repetitions.
Normale and Sordino
Along with traditional orchestral articulations, Deep Solo Cello delves into the more esoteric, exciting and imaginative universe of solo strings. We have also included the deep range of Con Sordino muted articulations with many short notes, dynamic bows, crescendos and smooth true legato.
