Expressive Ensemble Strings with Motion

Con Moto – Cellos is a string library recorded with motion in the sustains, legato, and attacks/releases. “Active-bow” sustains offer continuously re-expressed vibrato & emotion, via performance & editing approaches. Responsive note attacks and meticulously-timed release samples – derived from units of musical performance – morph with your playing to allow fluent note-length variation, similar to previous Performance Samples libraries. Much in the same vein as Oceania, Con Moto – Cellos continues along the path of “energetic release samples” and appreciation of performance-sourced phrase endings as a critical element of the toolkit in release-sample functionality. Bow-change legato transitions wrap it all together, and with the entire library recorded con moto and musically-restless, the result is a breathing ensemble with coherence in phrasing, vibrato, and expression.

• Six cellos (primarily soloist and 1st-chair musicians) from the Capellen Orchestra
• Three dynamic layers, from moderately soft to FFF
• Bow-change legato con moto (legato with movement in the bowing and vibrato)
• “Active-bow” sustains (non-static longs that move and evolve while simultaneously maintaining the dynamic/timbre)
• Multiple attack types (hard and soft) triggered via velocity
• Release samples that respond fluently to note-length variation*
