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.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Sound is pretty good, and I suspect can be made better with careful tweaks of the interface. I think though that it's very difficult to emulate a stringed instrument because the sound of the real thing is so sensitive to bow articulation. UI is a bit difficult to navigate and I found the bubble help kept coming back, even after I'd clicked on permanently turning it off.

Wonderful sounding library with an incredible ability to make really live sounding cello parts. Love it!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Amazing Samples!! Took me a while to get the set up right so that it ran smoothly on my Mac. Once I did, WOW! what an amazing product! Easy to use, clear and straighforward. I love it!

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

I needed to emphasize a line in the cellos, but didn't really need an exposed, soloistic sort of sound. The Spitfire Solo Cello sound blended perfectly with the other Spitfire Audio string section products I was using, effectively produced the effect I was after, and the price was very fair.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Nice interface but the original solo strings have a vintage appeal

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

YES. YES. A thousand times YES. No other solo cello patch even comes close to this one in both playability AND more importantly, sound/timbre.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Samples sound beautiful; warm and sharp. It's very flexible yet easy to work with.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Incredibly processor intense plug in that despite having 100GB of RAM causes glitches on my 8 core iMac 2019 model. Had to throttle back Logic to 128 (usually run it at 32) in order to stop it popping. Once you do that it is beautiful but I could do without the latency.

Great sound and easy programming and performing scripting. I notice some strange "attack" effect on some notes
