Randomizer

Magnetar's randomize function randomizes the settings of the Enhance Panel. This feature comes with an undo button which enables the user to go back to the previous randomized setting. To deactivate the Randomizer, simply hit the reset button.

Loop Feature

This library has 12 compositions for cello in the form of audio loops. Each composition is made up of 4 stems (audio tracks).

The lock to host feature enables users to slave the tempo of the loops instrument to their session in their DAW such as Logic Pro X, Pro Tools, Cubase, etc. When the "Lock to host" button is deactivated, users can manually control the speed of the instrument. For quick, quantitative speed controls, users can select the half-speed, normal speed, or double speed (0.5x, 1x, 2x) buttons.

Link the pitch and start point of the four stems by selecting the stems link function.

About the Cellist

Caleb Vaughn-Jones has performed at venues such as The Library of Congress and Carnegie Hall, as well as recorded for film and video game scores such as Suicide Squad 2 (John Murphy), Minions: The Rise of Gru (Heitor Pereira), Civilization V (Geoff Knorr), and The Lion King (Hans Zimmer).

Working with a cellist with experiences both on the concert stage and in the recording studio helped us capture a wide array of expressions for this sample library. The samples contain sounds that range from precise and clean to aggressive, synth-like distortion to ethereal textures.
