Spitfire Audio Abbey Road Orchestra: Cellos Professional
Cello Virtual Instrument
Advanced Legatos For Ultimate Expression
Celebrating the stunning sound of a Cello section captured at Abbey Road Studios, this virtual instrument offers a comprehensive collection of long and short articulations, 8 technologically advanced legato techniques - with extended velocity triggered patches (portamento and detaché), a high level of sampling depth and 16 curated mix signals hand-crafted by GRAMMY award winner Simon Rhodes, this library sets a new standard for the sound of the cello in the digital age.
A remarkably authentic cello sound that embodies the timeless essence of one of the most renowned recording spaces in the world - Abbey Road Studio One.
Expression at the highest degree.
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.
