Cello Waves: Kontakt Cello Arpeggio and Loop Instrument by Have Audio

Cello Waves offers two source options. Natural keeps the acoustic sound of the cello, while Warped adds a sound design layer. The ICE knob blends multiple sound design samples for large, cinematic results.

The WARPED slider adds a pitched granular layer to the major and minor cinematic loops, and the ICE knob adds a grainy effect. In the Film Noir patches, the same controls add dissonance and suspense to chordal arpeggios. Have Audio recommends the Major and Minor Waves NKI with WARPED and ICE set high and Time Warp set between 20 and 40 percent for drones and soundscapes.

The HOST control syncs loops to the DAW tempo, and Time Warp slows down or speeds up playback whether or not HOST is active. The built-in arpeggiator offers five modes, up to 32 steps and four octaves.

Effects include reverse, dynamics control, 82 convolution reverbs and impulse responses, a delay algorithm, six additional effects (EQ, compression, saturation, chorus, phaser and Leslie) with three controls each, four FX macros, and ADSR envelope controls.
