Details

The library features a variety of articulations, including long, lyrical phrases and short, staccato notes, allowing for nuanced performances. It is recorded in a dry studio environment using three high-end microphones: a Neumann U87, an AEA R84A ribbon, and a Schoeps CMC/mk4. This close capture provides an intimate sound while retaining key and bow details. The instrument includes two patches: a Textures patch that allows for crossfading between 43 articulations and a Shorts patch with velocity-sensitive articulations sampled with multiple round robins.

With its focus on textural exploration, Poiesis Cello 1 is well-suited for composers looking to incorporate unique cello sounds into their scores. The instrument's ability to blend articulations and create evolving soundscapes can enhance both traditional and contemporary music projects.
