Soliste CLO 756 - Cello: Physical-Modeling MPE Cello Plugin

Soliste CLO 756 offers three playing modes. Classic Mode uses a press and tap concept: a tap triggers a bow stroke, and pressing shapes the dynamic intensity of sustained bowing. Virtuoso Mode adds a smart back-and-forth bowing system for direct, real-time control over the bow. Expressive Bow Mode blends the two, so slow gestures sustain the bow while faster gestures engage back-and-forth motion.

Vibrato can be played manually through per-note pitch control or any compatible playing interface. Alternatively, an assisted vibrato fades in naturally on note-on or through continuous playing gestures, with a system that moves smoothly between manual and assisted vibrato.

Portamento is velocity-based and adjustable, and the instrument is compatible with Osmose's Pressure Glide for real-time portamento through continuous pressure.

Because the instrument is physically modeled rather than sample-based, the bow behavior, attack time, gesture shape and interaction type can all be adjusted. Selecting a different body changes the tonal identity of the instrument. Note linking can be set to detached or legato, and a large set of timbral parameters shapes the sound.

The built-in effects include a standard 3-band EQ, a Brightness control for spectral presence, and a convolution reverb with acoustics captured from real-world spaces. Articulation presets cover sul ponticello, pizzicato, Bartók pizzicato, staccato and a playable real-time tremolo.
