In December 2018, I built a fully playable cello out of an old silverware box. Now you can own the sounds of this totally unique instrument in a feature-packed Kontakt library.

* Three articulations: sustain (both velocity and modwheel), spiccato and pizzicato
* Up to 8 round robins per note, 2 velocity layers for a maximum total of 16 different samples per note!
* ADSR controls on all patches (except spiccato)
* EQ controls on all patches
* Recorded with three different mics (including a piezo contact mic). Mic levels are controllable after the fact to give maximum sonic flexibility
* Three experimental patches: Texture I, Open Strings, Open Strings (Ensemble)
* Requires the full version of Kontakt 5.3.1 or later.
* Library size: 1.03GB (each articulation is separate patch so you can easily get rid of articulations you don't need if you find yourself short on disk space)
