Sustain Non Vibrato (Sus Non Vib)
This instrument features an articulation that has no vibrato, creating a pure, uncommonly
static sound for bowed string instruments. CC 11 (Expression), and CC 1 (Mod Wheel)
control overall loudness, and CC 1 (Mod Wheel) controls dynamics (3 levels).

Sustain NV NV VB
This instrument combines 2 articulations: non vibrato in the lower 2 dynamic levels and
a light vibrato in the loudest dynamic level. CC 11 (Expression), and CC 1 (Mod Wheel)
control overall loudness, and CC 1 (Mod Wheel) controls dynamics (3 levels).

Sustain NV VB VB
This instrument combines 3 articulations: non vibrato in the lowest dynamic, light vibrato
in the middle dynamic, and a lyrical vibrato in the upper dynamic. CC 11 (Expression),
and CC 1 (Mod Wheel) control overall loudness, and CC 1 (Mod Wheel) controls dynamics
(3 levels).

Tremolo
This instrument features an articulation that plays repeated, rapidly alternating bow
strokes on each note, creating a haunting, noisy effect at low volume levels and an aggres-
sive buzzing sound at higher ones. Combined with other instruments, it’s useful for creat-
ing a sense of movement or “thickening” the sound with repeated note attacks. Dramatic
passages are an ideal place to add characteristic tremolo writing, with long crescendos
and decrescendos. CC 11 (Expression), and CC 1 (Mod Wheel) control overall loudness.

Short

This folder contains a collection of instruments that encompass articulations that
the Solo Cello can use to generate short sounds, including various plucking and
bowing techniques. Most of the instruments respond to MIDI Velocity to control
loudness and have multiple Round Robin samples per note.

Marcato Long Vibrato RR
This instrument features an articulation that begins with a strong accent and lasts a
moderate duration, with a light vibrato on the end for color. Marcato articulations are
well-suited to marches, strong repeating rhythms, and generally any place where you want
something a bit more forceful. CC 11 (Expression), and Note Velocity control overall loud-
ness, and there is a round robin (x2) cycle per note.

Marcato Short RRx4
This instrument features an articulation that begins with a strong accent and lasts a short
duration. Short marcato articulations are similar to staccato and well-suited to marches,
strong repeating rhythms, and generally any place where you want something a bit more
forceful while adding space between notes and extra choppiness. CC 11 (Expression)
controls overall loudness, Note Velocity controls dynamics (3 levels), and there is a round
robin (x4) cycle per note.

Pizzicato RRx4
This instrument features an articulation that involves plucking one or more strings at a
time to create a characteristic percussive sound. These have a lighter quality than bowed
