Thanks for all the support guys! I've been working hard testing out many things
Here's a new quick context test - Gladiator - using samples that will be in the upcoming new instrument.

WOW! got "chills" @0:38... beautifully played, and what an amazingly lovely instrument.

Dear Mr Blakus, please don't confine your efforts to the cello. Judging from the responses so far, I'm sure many of us would be happy to pay for your products.

Blakus Cello, the horns by Jasper Blunk and the violins.
The percussive wood drums and soft guitar.

The only thing missing is a free choir.

Which i bet won't happen.

I know Kontakt has a free choir along with that thing by that guy who's name I can't remember..

Can we have another possibly..

something like what Blunk is doing right now possibly?

pocketBlakus SPICCATO Patch
Here's a small Christmas gift! At roughly the same time I recorded the pocketBlakus samples, I recorded some short spiccato samples as well. These also were simple test samples, but hopefully you can have some fun with them!

This is a separate basic patch to pocketBlakus, but at some point they may be added to the official release. It is only one dynamic layer but there are 7x RR. Velocity controls dynamics for reasonable control over phrase expression. The patch is not designed for polyphonic chords, although you can "Bypass" the SIPS legato script if you wish.

Unconnected notes give an "on the bow" staccato feel, whereas connected (or sustain held down) notes give a more airy "off the bow" sound. Here some quick audio examples showing the subtle difference. Note that holding down sustain does a fantastic job in connecting repeated notes convincingly, and with 7x RR it's pretty fun!

Here's a fiddle with the patch for fun!

First phrase unconnected, second connected. It's only subtle, but useful.

I have implemented a "Donate" button at the bottom right sidebar on my website for those that have very kindly expressed their interest to support my work on pocketBlakus. I definitely don't expect or ask of this, but am humbled by your insistence - thank you!

At the risk of loosing my reward, I want to encourage all to make an encouraging token of appreciation at http://blakus.com/ because your charitable cello is very much appreciated! My world, small as it is musically, has grown richer. Thank you and merry Xmas.

But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
(Matthew 6:3-4 ESV)

Thanks for the new version and for the spiccato version, both run with no glitches in my DAW.

Thanks for mentioning my choir.

To anyone who wants more from this choir, feel free to take the samples and if you can do a better job on programming, GUI design, please do and put the result for free download.
