Name: Vista II - Solo Cello V2 - Improv by Performance Samples
Duration: 25 s
Description: This example is very early - before take-selection (selecting the best/most natural takes that work with the rest of the material), any finesse, tuning and so on. This is the V2 solo cello which is the re-record that has improvements on the V1 solo cello (which will also be included of course). Light external verb used.

This solo cello alone will be a reason to get my hands on Vista II. One question though... with all the newly announced instruments... when will Voyage arrive on the scene? ;-)

Sampled plopped into Kontakt. Pre take-selection and pre balancing.

Vista II - 6 Cellos - Legato Early Version Forte Dynamic

This example is very early - before take-selection (selecting the best/most natural takes that work with the rest of the material), any finesse, tuning and so on. This is the V2 solo cello which is the re-record that has improvements on the V1 solo cello (which will also be included of course). There are V1 and V2 solos for the vla/vln/vc and just V1 for solo bass -- at this point.

Vista II - Solo Cello V2 - Improv

HIGHLIGHT: 6 CELLOS LEGATO (~P/"soft")

Patch is extremely early with zero take selection for this dynamic. Sustains are not finalized either (sustain grafts, etc). With the softer dynamics, the intervals begin to get somewhat less "intentional" at this dynamic and below (as you can perhaps contrast with the louder dynamic example posted previously). The "piano" dynamic is rather subjective, but that's my rough estimate here. 

The movement you hear in the sustains is to a degree representative of what will be in the final library, but will be somewhat masked as well by other dynamics playing at the same time and certain finalization protocols that have yet to be completed. Some slower playing so you can see how the movement affects the intervals fading back into the sustains (admittedly, at this extraordinarily early stage).

In this particular example the legato patch used is just one dynamic so it doesn't show the dynamic range yet (just volume on mod-wheel), however up to 12+. dynamics have been recorded for legatos so far (10 for cellos). In the current mapping this is dynamic 5 out of 10, meaning 4 dynamics below this one and 5 above. External verb used. Close + Decca mics.  - JB

Vista - Remembrance - by Jean-Gabriel Raynaud

Note: NO external reverb, EQ, or processing was used on this example, aside from panning the close mics. Featuring an alpha version of ABP-Soloists, supplemented by a pre-alpha version of Voyage Strings (including harp). Voyage Percussion also makes a brief appearance.

Close mic mix for ABP-Soloists was not yet finalized in this track. Final product contains a slightly different close mix.
