Four microphone perspectives (close, MS-stereo, Decca, and hall) plus a mixed track provide flexibility in mixing.
Sampled celestas often sound flat and glocky. But what if two celestas were placed side by side and played in perfect unison? Richer and nicer? We think so!

Review
“…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.”

“…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.”

Most libraries sample a single celestam while this is two. Our method captures the natural sympathetic resonance, slight phase differences, and combined harmonic richness of two instruments interacting in a world-class hall, resulting in a sound that is inherently fuller, more alive, and less static than single-instrument recordings.
Recording two celestas in unison is the core innovation of this library. Standard celesta samples can often sound somewhat flat or “glocky” due to their quick decay. By having two instruments played simultaneously by the same pianist, notes trigger at the exact same moment, resulting in:
The celestas were recorded in the Fartein Valen hall, renowned as one of Europe’s finest sounding halls, ensuring a pristine and natural acoustic capture.
yes, absolutely. It can be an excellent addition to ambient music, classical compositions, electronic tracks, game scores, and any production where a unique and expressive keyboard sound is desired.
Definitely. Celesta Duet blends beautifully with strings, mallet percussion, pads, or tape-based textures. Layer it with felt pianos, soft synths, or orchestral beds for a lush and cinematic result.
