The celesta is a classical keyboard instrument, known for its bell-like sound. When two celestas are played together, the resulting melodies and harmonies are even more lively and enchanting. Our sample library captures the beauty of this sound. With multiple mic positions allowing you to easily incorporate it into your own compositions.

The concert hall (Fartein Valen, Stavanger)  in which they were recorded has stunning acoustics, adding depth and warmth to the sound of the instruments.  Included are multiple mic positions, so that you easely can place the instruments within your orchestrations.  The combination of the two celestas and the beautiful concert hall acoustics creates a truly magical and inspiring sound.

• All sustains recorded with release triggers
• Separate pedal down sample set
• Subtle varied pedal up mechanical noises
• 6 dynamic layers on pedal down layer
• 3 RR  plus scripted round robin function
• 4 Four mic positions (close, ms-st, decca & hall)
• 1 summed track with all mics mixed together.
• Designed arhythmic sound sculpting patches
• Adjustable reverb of custom ir impulses

 

We borrowed two celestas from Stavanger Symphony Orchestra. A new and an older model.  One pianist plays them at the same time. Tight and in unison, reaching one hand on each instrument. You don’t hear that there are two celestas playing, but the resonance sounds fuller and more varied, vibrant and enchanting.

Review

“Two celestas are better than one”

“…Celesta Duet not only excels in delivering great instrument tones but also focuses on getting the most realistic experience out of a virtual instrument. One cool way to achieve that is implementing the common noises every instrument makes, and in this case, you can set the pedal quirks and release damper pedal sounds.”

“I was drawn in with the siren song of the Celesta Duet’s intimate, lovely, rich tones. This virtual instrument emphasizes the quieter, lower velocity playing of the Celesta where the tones are more mellow and aren’t dominated by the initial harsh attack of the hammer strikes.”  –GN

“So beautiful! Well done!” 

-JeffR

“What a beautiful job you are doing! I admire the quality and quantity of work you have been putting into it.”  -M.A
