01Overview

Cello Waves is described by Have Audio as the first expansion instrument for Nørdic Cello. It contains four NKI instruments with major and minor arpeggiando cello loops, chordal arpeggios and wave-inspired patches. Each loop can be tempo-synced or time-stretched, and the instrument uses the Nørdic engine's ICE, WARPED and Time Warp controls to move from natural cello tones into textured sound design. It requires the full version of Kontakt 6.6.1 or later.

Cello Loops and Sound Design Controls

The Natural source option keeps the acoustic sound of the cello. The Warped option adds a sound design layer that can be blended in with the WARPED control.

The ICE knob blends multiple sound design samples for large, cinematic results. HOST syncs loops to the DAW tempo, and Time Warp slows down or speeds up the tempo whether or not HOST is active.

The built-in arpeggiator offers five modes, up to 32 steps and four octaves. Reverse, dynamics control, four FX macros and ADSR envelope controls are also included.

Four Instruments for Scoring and Drones

Cinematic Major and Minor provides arpeggiando loops in all keys, with a granular pitched layer and a grainy effect. Film Noir offers chordal arpeggios for dissonance and suspense.

Sophisticated Arpeggios uses the same harmonic material as Film Noir with a pulsing counterpoint and added reverb. Major and Minor Waves has rubato-style loops with echoing particles.

Have Audio recommends the Major and Minor Waves instrument with WARPED and ICE at high levels and Time Warp set between 20 and 40 percent for drones and soundscapes.
