Description
Unleash the evocative power of the Sonora Cinematic Poiesis Cello, a virtual instrument that brings the soul-stirring timbre of a legendary cello to your fingertips. Crafted for composers and sound designers who crave organic textures and avant-garde techniques, this Kontakt instrument is a gateway to lush soundscapes and striking sonic palettes. Whether you're composing a haunting score or experimenting with modern classical, the Poiesis Cello is designed to inspire.
The Poiesis Cello was meticulously recorded in a dry studio environment using three high-end microphones—a Neumann U87 large diaphragm condenser, an AEA R84A ribbon, and a Schoeps CMC/mk4 small diaphragm condenser. These microphones capture the cello's intimate essence, allowing you to shape and sculpt its sound to suit your creative vision. Additionally, a pre-rendered stereo mix is available for a resource-efficient, ready-to-use option, ensuring the cello sounds exceptional straight out of the box.
At the heart of this instrument is a 1995 Moes & Moes cello, crafted for and once owned by the legendary Yo-Yo Ma. Played by Alan Black, principal cellist with the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra, the Poiesis Cello encapsulates the artistry and history of a world-class instrument.
The plugin offers two distinct patches: "Textures," a two-layer instrument with 43 articulations that can be seamlessly blended using your keyboard’s mod-wheel, and "Shorts," featuring three velocity-sensitive short articulations with multiple dynamic layers and round robins, including a sharp snap pizzicato.

- Two patches: Textures and Shorts

- High-end mic recordings: Neumann U87, AEA R84A, and Schoeps CMC/mk4
