KONTAKT - 12,48 GB
ENSEMBLE, CHAMBER, & SOLO CELLOS
Adagio Cellos are the third volume in our series to receive a full update, bringing these timeless samples up to date with a range of features found in our Century and Anthology series. This update includes our new intuitive user-interface, articulation browser, integrated mixing, and of course our signature Chaos Effects.

The latest Adagio Cellos feature an advanced articulation browser which allows you to create your very own matrix of performance styles. You can now easily balance each articulation and assign each style its own control. The new features are all about improving your workflow, so whether you need a single articulation or a range of different playing styles, Adagio lets you load precisely what you need.

In this most recent update, we have scrapped multis and reworked the 12 legatos into various refined, layered legato patches that fluidly adapt as you play them. Each intensity of legato style being triggered dependant on the velocity that you play.

The Adagio series was recorded in a lush church environment and contains three main groups of master Cellists; Full Ensemble (6 Players), Small Ensemble or Chamber (3 Players) and a Solo Virtuoso (1 Player). Each section was recorded in incredible detail; we sampled a huge range of articulations including 12 unique legato types with up to 3 round robin repetitions, extensive short notes, a range of sordino (muted) options, and an array of custom designed ambiences.


THE NEW LEGATOS
We have included 2 distinct Legato types within the update to Adagio, each containing up to 3 responsive layers and 3 round robin repetitions. Legato I is made from our Agitato Strings, inspired by the soaring melodic styles of Williams and Mancini, designed to sit at the front of your orchestrations. Legato II is from our first recording sessions of Adagio and has a much smoother and less pronounced sound, ideal for multipurpose string writing.

ADAPTABLE, INTUITIVE, EFFORTLESS
Adagio has been redesigned so that each iconic and expressive instrument can be used out-of-the-box for instantly professional-sounding results. The fully customizable articulation matrix gives you direct access to any articulation Adagio has to offer. We also include independent patches for each articulation, so you can customize the instrument to best suit your workflow.

MICROPHONES
We recorded Adagio Strings with a vast array of expertly placed microphones allowing us to best capture each ensemble. We created 3 independent mixes, giving you ultimate flexibility over the sound of your ensemble (Mixed, Close, Far). The Mixed Microphone position offers a beautiful combination of both the Close and Far perspectives for a perfectly balanced sound.

Ensemble and Chamber Legato: both sound really good.

Arc: all sound artificial, more like synthesizers.

Legato 2: the arpeggios all sound very ridiculous (at least in the walkthrough).

Sordino sounds very emotionless, cold and doesn't sound anything like real Sordino; too bright and not a trace of muted.

And finally 8Dio has done it: the pizzicatos, which have actually been sounding relatively good for decades from almost all sample manufacturers and even from hardware instruments with very limited memory because it is easy to sample such short percussive "noises", have actually been totally screwed up by 8Dio here. LOL.

Unfortunately, the cellos in the demo almost constantly play only the higher registers, almost in the range where the violas sound good, but not the cellos.

All my personal opinion based on the walkthrough. I would be interested in your opinion.

Last but not least: Thanks to all the team members who invest a lot of time and effort here.
