Prim Cello

INTRODUCING THE PRIM CELLO

{See video at top of page}

With the Prim Cello we focused our attention on the flow and motion of the performance. More emphasis is placed on legato and bowing technique to create real performances without any need to MIDI program.

The Prim Cello was recorded in House at Virharmonic Studios in the same environment as the Bohemian Series with a new Cellist performing on a rich timbre Cello. Using a new sampling technique we developed called "Flow Motion" we captured a very large and varied amount of emotion packed legatos with seamless bowing which simply flows as you play.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

While the Bohemian Series specialises in a broad range of techniques and styles as a jack of all trades, the Prim Series is more tightly focused on Legato and Bowing within 3 specific performance styles offering realism with ease.

The sample pool is large to accommodate the varied array of Legatos and bowing types along with longer captured bow lengths. Short articulations along with our Arcs and Mid Arcs are also included.

The functionality is identical to the Bohemian Series, with access to performer modes like Solo, Second Solo, Trio, Chamber, Divisi Trio and Divisi Chamber. Maestro Poly-legato and Crafting is also included. Built in Reverb, fine controls and a built in performer guide can also be found.

The user interface is now adjourned with artwork but the layout is near identical to the Bohemian Series/Instant Series, so for existing users of our instruments everything is in a familiar place.

The Prim is more Virtual Performer centric, so you will find that using keyswitches or MIDI editing less required and simply playing on the MIDI keyboard will feel natural to achieve the desired results.
