Product Overview

Ripple Cello offers a unique approach to string textures through playable two-note slurs, or "ripples," designed for expressive performance. By overlapping pairs of notes within a perfect fourth, the library captures the nuanced transitions between pitches, making it ideal for creating fluid, lyrical lines in your compositions.

Details

The library features articulations that include quarters, eighths, and sixteenths, all recorded as swells to maintain a natural dynamic flow. This allows for a ghostly first note that gradually builds into a fuller sound, enhancing the expressiveness of the slurs. The samples are designed to be intuitive, with a playback engine that syncs to your DAW's tempo, ensuring seamless integration into your workflow.

With a total of 684 samples, the library provides a rich palette for crafting intricate string rhythms and textures. The included MIDI clips, accessible through a built-in ideas browser, offer additional inspiration for your compositions. Ripple Cello encourages exploration of new string techniques, whether using the library itself or collaborating with live musicians.
