Spitfire Audio Abbey Road Orchestra: Cellos Core
Cello Virtual Instrument
Advanced Legatos For Ultimate Expression
The stunning sound of a Cello section captured at Abbey Road Studios.
This instrument offers an extensive range of articulations and playing styles - lyrical and performance legatos, a wide selection of longs and shorts, and control over a variety of articulations to allow you to create both intimate and epic soundscapes.
Recorded in the timeless acoustics of Abbey Road Studio One, this library also includes a hand-crafted mix signal by GRAMMY award winner Simon Rhodes.
Expressive to the highest degree.
Also available in Professional.
Where Performance Meets Precision
Meticulously recorded to allow for smooth and expressive transitions between notes, this emulates the natural way a cellist shifts from one note to another, without breaks.
All aspects of Spitfire's legato programming has been improved in both Pro and Core versions, with multiple dynamic legato intervals, and flexible interval types triggered by playing speed and/or velocity.
The extended techniques in the Pro version are the most advanced string patches we have ever created.
With additional portamento and detaché legato styles, plus accented marcato and 'soft swell' entries for single long notes, the Pro version marks the absolute pinnacle of detail, expression and playability.
Pro Version Features
- Legato techniques for key switching (portamento, detaché, fast runs)
- Alternative attacks on legato and long techniques
- Dynamic interval triggering
- Eco load functionality
- 16 signals (feat. 2 Simon Rhodes Mixes)
Advanced Legatos, Ultimate Expression
- Performance Legato (extended): hugely detailed and highly playable legato patch which reacts in real time to playing speed - our most advanced legato ever.
- Lyrical Legato (extended): A relaxed legato patch for slower-moving melody lines.
- Legato Runs: A very agile legato patch specifically for very fast passages up to a minor 3rd.
- Legato Detaché: the connecting notes have broad but separated bow strokes.
- Legato Portamento: the intervals are performed in a 'portamento' style with an intentional slide between notes.
- Legato Slurred: slurred intervals performed with a 'moderate tempo' feel for sweeping melody lines.
- Legato Allegro: slurred intervals performed with a sprightly 'uptempo' feel.
