The cello is a favorite instrument at Nightfox Audio.
With ribbon mics, tube preamps, and large diaphragm condenser mics, they meticulously sampled the entire fretboard, at 3-5 unique velocities.
It was sampled with pizzicato, tremolo, long sweeping tones, unpredictable arpeggios, and short staccato hits. Each note is unique, each velocity is unique.
Nightfox also love the synth string tones of the '70s, so they sampled two favorites from that era.
Use all 13 of these textures as solo instruments or blend them in infinite configurations to create brand new hybrid tones.
