Team ViP | 07 May 2025 | 7.63 GB

Designed with some of the most expressive cello compositions in mind, the goal behind this instrument was clear: to deliver a powerful and rich vibrato, as well as a legato capable of expressing all the nuances required by this musical aesthetic. To accomplish this, Balvi Cello offers a variety of attacks and multiple sustain options for the legato, two types of legato transitions, and, of course, rebows. To prevent the phasing effect and blurriness that crossfading between dynamic layers can cause, especially in solo instruments, Balvi Cello has been designed with a single dynamic layer system. By combining various sustain options, it offers a multiple performance possibilities, allowing you to achieve the nuance and emotional depth needed for your music. The various attacks and legato sustains are activated based on the velocity you use (0, 41, 91) In addition to the standard legato transitions, the instrument also includes a set of fast transitions up to a major second, ideal for performing runs and certain musical passages that demand greater playing speed.

Warm Bassy Plucks

The Gimbri is a three-stringed skin-covered bass that originated in Morocco. It is actually a lute that produces rich deep but also somewhat harsh and earthy tones through its wooden body and goat gut strings. Often compared to a bass guitar, the gimbri brings deepness into the music with its low dynamic range. The main focus was to capture different articulations of the Gimbri while keeping its organic feeling and warm sound. Traditionally played with the fingers, we recorded it muted, with a plec and through an amp to ensure a wide variety of tones. It comes with five presets, while the possibility of custom settings is kept open.
