David Forner – Balvi Cello

Balvi Cello was developed with a clear goal in mind: to provide a powerful and rich vibrato, as well as a legato capable of conveying all the nuances required by this musical aesthetic. To achieve this, the library offers different attack options and several legato durations, two types of legato transitions and, of course, bow direction changes.

To avoid the phasing and blurring effects that can occur when crossfading between dynamic layers (especially for solo instruments), the Balvi Cello was designed with a single dynamic layer system. Combining different duration options, it offers a variety of performance options, allowing you to achieve the desired nuance and emotional depth in the music. Different attack and legato durations are activated depending on the velocity (0, 41, 91).

In addition to the standard legato transitions, the instrument also features a set of fast transitions within a major second, ideal for playing passages and musical phrases that require higher speed.

Balvi Cello also allows for changes in bow direction, which is essential for the natural and musical formation of melodic lines.

Three carefully recorded microphones are available in a variety of positions, providing clear sound and flexibility in placing the cello in the mix according to your preferences.
