SOUNDIRON Hyperion Strings Solo Cello is a solo cello sample library designed for Kontakt Player, utilizing deep multi-sampling technology. It features 5,855 stereo samples, totaling 6.64 GB. This library meticulously captures various bowing and playing techniques of a classic orchestral cello, including dynamic fingered legato and glissando legato.

Compared to similar Kontakt instruments, its additional library of 867 naturally played melodic phrases provides creators with unparalleled instant creative material, allowing for quick construction of emotionally rich melodic lines.

Who is Hyperion Solo Cello for?

Hyperion Solo Cello Core Technologies and Features

• Deep Chromatic Sampling: All notes are independently chromatically sampled, rather than pitch-shifted, ensuring each pitch retains the most authentic tone and resonance. The recording process took place in a dry, intimate studio environment, using a pair of large-diaphragm stereo microphones for close-miking, capturing every subtle playing dynamic.
• True Legato Technology: Equipped with an advanced True Legato engine, including both Fingered Legato and Glissando Legato modes. The system intelligently determines playing velocity and interval, automatically generating extremely smooth and natural note transitions without the need for complex Keyswitching.
• Rich Articulations: A comprehensive collection of cello playing techniques, including 7 long articulations (e.g., Sustain, Vibrato, Tremolo) and 17 short articulation variations (e.g., Staccato, Spiccato, Pizzicato, Bartok Pizz), as well as ascending and descending Runs, meeting diverse arrangement needs.
• Dynamic Expressions: Built-in 12 pre-recorded dynamic expressions, including Crescendo, Decrescendo, and Swell, allowing users to easily add rich emotional dynamics and musicality to phrases.
• Built-in Melodic Phrase Library: Provides up to 867 professionally played melodic phrases, covering major and minor keys, with both fast and slow tempos. All phrases can be synced to the host software's tempo, freely transposed, and arranged using the built-in sequencer.
