Produced by Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix and engineered by Shawn Murphy, Solo Instruments is the latest addition to the Hollywood series.
Hollywood Solo Cello features a large number of different instrument files, catego rized into long, short, key switch and legato types. Hollywood Solo Cello can use articulations to generate long sounds, including sustaining instruments with varying levels of vibrato or special playing styles like flautando and tremolo.
There are different types of legato instruments that include multiple sample layers to handle different aspects of legato playing. MIDI Continuous Controllers are used to control loudness, dynamic layers and/or vibrato depths that allow users to shape musical lines the way a live musician does.
Currently a free trial is being offered.
