Post Description

Invented over 125 years ago, the celesta remains a nicely obscure yet fascinating instrument: It sports a vibrant, mellow and charming sound remeniscent of a vibra- phone, glockenspiel, marimba and a piano - yet a sound of its own. The celesta offers rich harmonics and bell-like tone that chimes with force.

At that time, it was inspiring to those looking for a new sound - Tschaikowsky wrote some parts of his Nutcracker for a celesta.

Back then, no one had ever dreamt that a celesta would be as relevant today as ever - being the acoustic ancestor of the most popular vintage electric pianos, which share the same basic sound principles.

Providing a warm and full bass, it carries more weight than a toy piano and is great for any track demanding an unconsumed yet familiar sound.

The sample library contains nearly 1200 single samples.
All common sampler formats are covered, with patches for HAlion, Kontakt2, EXS24 and GigaStudio3.
