Celesta in all its glory. Rich & expressive

Two Schiedmayer celestas recorded for Kontakt, performed in perfect unison for a richer livelier sound. With multiple mic positions.

Resizable GUI for adaptable workflow

Recorded in one of Europes finest sounding halls, Fartein Valen.

Versatile Mic Positions:

Four microphone perspectives (close, MS-stereo, Decca, and hall) plus a mixed track provide flexibility in mixing.

The Concept :

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!

SPECS

• Rich, authentic celesta samples
• All sustains recorded with release triggers
• Separate pedal down sample set
• Subtle varied pedal up mechanical noises
• 6 dynamic layers on sustain pedal down

• Adjustable custom ir impulses

The settings view lets you adjust velocity range according to your playing style. Simulated RR picks up neighboring notes, at a given formula, for further variations (in addition to normal RRs).

Dynamic Expression: With up-to six velocity layers and three round robins, Celesta Duet responds organically to your touch, ensuring expressive performances.

Authentic Articulations: Includes pedal-down samples, release triggers, and subtle mechanical noises for realistic playback.

Stavanger Symphony Orchestra ,SSO, generously borrowed us two celestas. A new and an older model. A pianist was set to play them simultaneous in unison. Reaching one hand on each instrument.

The notes triggers at the exact same time, and the resonance sounds fuller and more varied, vibrant and enchanting.

this library provides a resonant and expressive palette for composers seeking to infuse their scores with delicate celesta tones and cinematic textures.

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.”
