Garritan has announced the Gofriller Solo Cello, a Kontakt Player 2 based virtual instrument created by the Italian team of Giorgio Tommasini and Stefano Lucato in collaboration with Gary Garritan. It expands the company's solo instrument series following the release of the Stradivari Solo Violin.
Gofriller Cellos (made nearly three hundred years ago) are among the finest cellos ever made and are known for the rich and beautiful tone. Thanks to the exclusive "Sonic Morphing" technology, this sampled Gofriller Cello lets you seamlessly crossfade among dynamics (pp to ff), continuously control the onset, rate and speed of the vibrato, and shape articulations in real time. The result of these technologies is "extraordinary levels of realism, expressiveness and virtuosic performance capabilities" in a way that preserves the natural characteristics of the Gofriller Cello.
Gofriller Solo Cello integrates the Native Instruments Kontakt 2 sample player so it can be used as a standalone instrument or as a VST, DXi, RTAS or Audio Units plug-in.
Gofriller Solo Cello is priced at $199 and will be available shortly after the NAMM show. Audio demos are available now.
