Present in the Box Cello Kontakt Library

In December 2018, Dave Hilowitz built a fully playable cello out of an old silverware box. We spent the month of January sampling the instrument and have no turned it into a feature-packed Kontakt library. Introductory price: $20!

Buy it here: https://www.decentsamples.com/product/box-cello-kontakt/

Features:

Three articulations: sustain (both velocity and modwheel), spiccato and pizzicato
Up to 8 round robins per note, 2 velocity layers for a maximum total of 16 different samples per note!
ADSR controls on all patches (except spiccato)
EQ controls on all patches
Recorded with three different mics (including a piezo contact mic). Mic levels are controllable after the fact to give maximum sonic flexibility
Three experimental patches: Texture I, Open Strings, Open Strings (Ensemble)
Requires the full version of Kontakt 5.3.1 or later.
Library size: 1.03GB (each articulation is separate patch so you can easily get rid of articulations you don’t need if you find yourself short on disk space)
