Product Overview

STRADIVARI CELLO brings the warmth and projection of the 1700 “Stauffer” into a controllable solo instrument. It emphasizes seamless dynamics, nuanced vibrato and practical mic control for writing melodic lines or supportive textures.

Details

Twenty articulations span sustained, short, expressive and dynamic styles, with legato choices tuned for lyrical phrasing. Long‑note crossfades are phase‑aligned to avoid coloration when moving between layers. Recorded vibrato is combined with modelled shaping for realistic modulation that responds to MIDI performance. The adaptive Virtuoso articulation maps multiple techniques intelligently to velocity and pitch‑bend.

A multi‑mic patch provides Close, Mid and Far balances derived from a 32‑microphone array in the Auditorium Giovanni Arvedi; a stereo‑only patch keeps resource use low. Fingerboard position controls (Low/High/Smart) further steer tone for sustained articulations.
