Sonora Cinematic Releases Poiesis Cello v2.0

Sonora Cinematic has announced the release of Poiesis Cello 2, now powered by the developer’s custom-built Aria engine. The update brings a wealth of new creative controls, features, and presets to enhance the expressiveness and versatility of this instrument.

Originally launched in 2021 as Sonora Cinematic’s debut product, Poiesis Cello 2 quickly garnered a dedicated following among musicians and sound designers alike. With beautifully unconventional sounds derived from performances by distinguished cellist Alan Black, the instrument brims with rich timbral shifts and delicate shadings, octave harmonics, bow bounces and reiterations allowing users to create unique dynamic textures ranging from the most tender and reflective to nervily unsettling.

The release of version 2 sees the Kontakt Player instrument adopt Sonora Cinematic’s Aria engine which made its debut earlier this year in Aria Vocalscapes followed by the hugely popular Panorama Guitars.

Featuring the original sample content, the shift to the Aria engine brings new creative possibilities to this expressive instrument. Fresh features include the ability to crossfade or stack articulations, add effects from the extensive effects library, apply filters to each layer, and create evolving soundscapes using the intuitive XY pad.

Poiesis Cello 2 is also now organised as two different instruments:

1. Poiesis Cello is the instrument hosted in the Aria Engine which focuses on creating beautiful ever-evolving textural soundscapes by blending two articulations together in a 2-layer engine with a record-ready mix.

2. Poiesis Cello Articulation Keyswitch is a brand-new customisable key-switching system that allows players to organise single articulations traditionally (via key switching) or have velocity dictate the articulation being triggered.

Poiesis Cello 2 includes almost 100 new presets providing users with a great starting point for shaping their own sound.

Poiesis Cello v2.0 works with the free Kontakt Player v7.7+ and is available now for the intro price of £59 ex VAT until 5th December.
