Garritan Gofriller Solo Cello Virtual Instrument at a Glance:
- A classic instrument
- Real-time playing capability
- Flexible formats
A classic instrument
Gofriller cellos (made nearly three hundred years ago) are among the
finest cellos ever made and are known for the rich and beautiful tone.
Just as real Gofriller cellos are so well made that they are considered
the best of their type, Garritan strove to produce a sample instrument
library that would be the best cello library ever made. The finest
instruments are the ones that will allow musicians to express
themselves best, whether they are three hundred years old or in the
form of today's software instruments.
Real-time playing capability
The Gofriller Solo Cello is a true musical instrument designed to be
played expressively, in real time. This instrument allows the user to
play beautifully expressive and believable sound that can be played and
performed as music, in real-time, rather than put together like a
jigsaw puzzle or tweaked after the fact. Thanks to "harmonic alignment"
technology, this sampled Gofriller cello lets you seamlessly crossfade
among dynamics ( pp to ff ), continuously control the onset, rate and
speed of the vibrato, and shape articulations in real time. "Harmonic
alignment" allows you to morph between samples. The sound samples
allowed to morph into each other seamlessly, allowing you to hear
authentic timbre changes as notes become louder or softer.
Sophisticated modal resonance technology uses instrument body impulses
and allows you to control the onset, intensity and rate of vibrato,
impart portamento and much more. In addition, with the powerful AI midi
processor you can change or create articulations in real time, change
the type of attack or bow direction, impart legato, play trills and
tremolo, and get an incredible variety of playing possibilities at your
fingertips. All this in real time!
Flexible formats
Garritan's Gofriller Solo Cello integrates easily into the Native
Instruments Kontakt 2 sample player and can be used as a standalone
instrument, as a VST, DXi, RTAS or Audio Units plug-in. It can also be
used with supported notation programs such as Finale 2007.
