Soundiron Hyperion Strings Solo Cello

An expressive solo cello and phrase library built for Kontakt Player

About

Hyperion Solo Cello continues our solo string instrument series. It captures a full spectrum of classic orchestral cello bowing and performance techniques, with true legato, long and short strokes, pizzicatos, Bartok pizz, and various dynamic expressions. Each articulation has been sampled chromatically in a dry, intimate acoustic environment, using a close stereo pair of large diaphragm studio microphones to capture every nuance. This library also includes a collection of 867 naturally-performed short melodic phrases in major and minor keys, at slow and fast cadences, which can be transposed, tempo-synced, and sequenced in realtime.

The library features dynamic fingered and gliss true legato; a full spectrum of 7 long and 17 short note variants and styles; a catalog of 12 dynamic crescendo, decrescendo, and swell expressions; major and minor run ups and downs; and 68 effect 1-shots.
