Product details

Brand: Spitfire Audio

Our highly advanced Total Performance Solo Cello is available to purchase as a single patch in its own Kontakt Player library. Beautifully performed by world-renowned concert cellist Richard Harwood, this is our most detailed and complete solo cello to date. It contains all the techniques you need to create an ultra-realistic solo performance, including five different types of true legato: fingered legato, bowed legato, portamento legato, runs and arpeggios, as well as spiccato, staccato, tremolo, playable trills, pizzicato, Bartok pizzicato, molto vibrato, progressive vibrato and non-vibrato. The patch enables you to create exquisite musical phrasing without the need for key-switching or 'stitching' together performances, and is programmed to react to playing speed and touch, allowing you to focus entirely on your composition. This instrument can now also be found in our renowned Spitfire Solo Strings library.

This cello sounds great. Once you get fluent with all possible articulations using your faders, you can play just anything you imagine! Love this product 👍

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Spitfire solo cello is a very good choice for composers looking for a solo cello that can create emotive lines as well as fast runs and performances.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Like most of Spitfire's originals, the solo cello has a vibe. It's a special vibe not available anywhere else.

Solo Cello is the best cello plugin I’ve heard. Highly recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

It's very stable. Especially the touch is great. It adds depth and soul to my works.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Very expressive. Very playable. Lots of techniques easily engaged. When you need to highlight the cello aside from the ensemble, this is what you need. Paired with Spitfire Solo Violin you'll have a great duo with amazing sound.

Nice One !! Very realistic and easy to use !!

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Hard to get the touch just right for the various articulations.. Polyphonic Legato 4x is a touch nightmare, as is Portamento. Having to use Kontact is very annoying. Too Much Reverb decay time.

Wonderful solo cello - so hard to find a decent playable/recordable cello but here’s one…

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

I think this is the most useless product from Spitfire and I had such high expectations. The articulations are buried in CC1 and CC21 data and you have to dial those in just right to get the articulation you're looking for here. I am so glad I got this on sale and didn't spend full price because I think this is the most useless tool from the Spitfire library. In fact, I have already removed it from my hard drives as there are so many other, better choices in a solo cello WITH keyswitchable articulations!

I always loved how a Cello sounds......now i got that beautiful Sound at my fingertips and it´s just pure Fun to play with..........even a Bartok Pizzicato is "on Board" :o)

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Very real sounding but would like a way to slow vibrato. Kicks in to fast and is too lively.....
