01Overview

This cello instrument is built from solo acoustic performances by cellist Tina Guo, recorded at the MGM Scoring Stage at Sony Pictures Studios. It is a legato patch designed to be played expressively, with the sustain character of a featured solo voice. Cinesamples says it can blend into string ensemble writing or stand out as a lead line. The library is released in Windows and macOS formats, and it runs inside Kontakt.

03In depth

Sound and Legato Control

The patch uses Cinesamples' Seamless Legato approach, which the developer introduced in 2014 for legato programming. Recordings were made from Tina Guo's expressive solo acoustic cello playing, so the sustain sound carries a soloist's phrasing rather than a section sound.

Since version 1.2, the library includes an Adaptive Legato engine. It gives you control over the speed and intensity of transitions between notes, letting you shape how smoothly lines connect.

Workflow and Version 1.4 Features

Version 1.4 adds NKS integration for use with Komplete Kontrol, alongside Kontakt Player 5.8.1 and later. The update also introduces the Infinite Bow feature, which extends bowed sustain beyond a single stroke.

The instrument is scripted for Native Instruments' NKS format. Because it is a Kontakt instrument, you load it inside Kontakt or Kontakt Player and control it from your DAW through the supported plugin formats.
