In many ways the opposite of our Vengeful Cello library, this library has true sampled legato, samples recorded with natural vibrato, and note start ornaments, as well as two types of releases. It is about being lyrical and expressive, not at all about having a huge variety of oddball techniques. It's so different from what we usually do because it was recorded by another developer several years ago.
Like Merciful Cello, however, it aiming for more of a pop sound than classical and is recorded up close and in mono, which makes it quite easy to blend the two.
