Electric Cello VST-AU-AAX – Kontakt Instrument

The 8Dio Electric Cello is the follow-up to our Electric Violin – both featuring our newest Fusion Modeling techniques – giving you unprecedented ability to control the instrument. The end-result is an incredibly acrobatic instrument that allows you to play legato as fast as you want with complete fluency and playability. The new Fusion Modeling offers you the choice to use Physical Modeling techniques for vibrato or conventional crossfaded deep-sampling. We also added our new Flow-Bow™ technology to all legato sustains, so you can repeat the same note and get natural variation in it. All you have to do is hold down your sustain pedal and a new repeated note will be generated in sustains.

The Electric Cello also contains a wealth of short-notes, including pizzicato, spiccato, saltando, staccato, bartok, con-legno etc. We included our new Bow-Bouncer, which allows you to quickly generate complicated short-note patterns with a single click on the keyboard. Also included is 6 variations of Dynamic Bowings and Trills going all the way from Half-Notes to Perfect Fourth.
You also get things like harmonics, col legno and 7 assorted banks of Electric Cello effects.

The Electric Cello contains two different FX systems. We included our new Chaos FX 3.2 system to the instrument and created a completely new FX section specifically for the Electric Solo Cello, so you literally have any FX you can think of (Dual Convolution, Arp, Chorus, Skreamer, Distortion, Phaser, Rotator, Dual Stereo Delay, Bit Crusher etc) at your finger tips.

The Electric Cello also contains a large section of small naturally occuring artifact sounds (ex. x-noises). You can fully control the volume and frequency of them, but they help create a more realistic experience by adding small imperfections into your playing style. We could go on and on, but words are not enough to describe this instrument.

Legato w/ Fusion Modeling™
The Electric Cello contains over 9.700 samples and three different types of layered legato with Fusion Modeling™. You can choose to play your legato with either Physically Modeled Vibrato or traditionally deep-sampled legato. We also created a more dramatic “Marcato Legato” option for more aggressive playing styles. All legatos include our new Flow-Bow™ technology – giving you the ability to play repeated notes with sustain pedal down.

Deep-Sampled Short Notes
We deep-sampled a large array of popular short note articulations, including Spiccato, Fast/Short Spiccato, Pizzicato, Staccato and Col Legno. Everything was done in several velocity layers and with an extensive amount of repetition (Round Robin) notes. We also created a new tool “Bow-Bouncer” – allowing you to play complex short-note patterns on your keyboard and have the system trigger natural repetitions. Just play once and you are good to go.

Dynamic Bowings
We included 6 different types of symmetrical/synced Dynamic Bowings, so you can get the natural sound of the instrument crossing through dynamics. We divided the Dynamic Bowings into long (6 s) and short (3 s) variations – and each articulation with three different type of dynamic variance. We also created an ensemble tool on our options page – allowing to trigger up to 3 Electric Cellos at the same time – building small ensembles.

Custom FX
The Electric Cello is incredibly sensitive to effects input, so we decided to create a custom FX system for this particular instrument. The custom FX rack allows you to control Chorus, Skreamer, Distortion, Rotator and Phaser. The Electric Cello can sound incredibly powerful with distortion based effects. It is distinctly different then a traditional cello in this regard – and the stable input signal from the instrument just lends itself to processing.

Chaos FX
The Electric Cello is also supported by our latest Chaos FX engine, which allows you to virtually do anything you desire to the library. Whether its redesigning the layout by key-control, create a step-based filter sequencer, precision dial EQ, bit-crush or distort, trancegate, stereo-delay or mess around with dual convolution reverbs. We even added our Chaos system, so you can randomize entire FX with a single mouse click.
