Fig 2: The Haronically Aligned sounds can ‘morph’ into each other.
In Fig. 2, after processing with the phase alignment technique; the samples ‘morph’ into each other seamlessly with no doubling, phasing or sonic discontinuity. The resulting sound is that of a single instrument with extraordinary levels of realism and expressiveness while preserving the natural characteristics of the instrument. There will be the natural timbre changes while the note is playing in response to a continuous midi controller, across a virtually infinite number of dynamic levels, ranging from pianissimo to fortissimo. In addition, the new patent-pending “Modal Body Resonance” technology, developed by Giorgio Tommasini & Stefano Lucato, allows for precise vibrato control. This is the first time any sample-based library has used this technology and is another milestone in software instruments. The powerful Native Instruments Kontak Player 2 allows for real time, portamento & legato.A proprietary midi processor, developed as a Kontakt 2 script, affects in real time all calculations concerning portamento direction, extent & rate by detecting overlap, timing, and velocity of the note flow. Sophisticated programming allows for a completely automated portamento and legato in response to very basic playing techniques. Real time shaping of articulations is achieved by using a modular sample structure, involving separate attacks, sustains and release-triggered notes, with individual response to various midi controllers. All the above solutions have been simultaneously implemented to create this virtuosic instrument, the Gofriller Solo Cello.
THE VIRTUAL GOFRILLER SOLO CELLO INSTRUMENT The Gofriller Solo Cello is a sample-based software instrument. It was designed as the second solo strings library for the Native Instrument’s Kontakt 2 sample player. The Stradivari Solo Violin 2.0 has also been released as a Kontakt 2 Player software instrument. The choice for the Kontakt 2 sample platform was motivated by the availability of a powerful script midi processor, a fully programmable sampler, plus an efficient convolution engine on a single piece of software.
