Walkthrough: Ólafur Arnalds Cells

[@envrie9423]

this mixed with his chamber evo library is pure string texture gold.

[@dogukanseren]

A very nice library for making atmospheric music!

[@Banquet...]

Using this with Cubase 14, I can now put LFOs on the varation and dynamics sliders to get them slow pulsing... endless beauty right there...

[@toddfrombethesda6963]

@@Banquet... big ups the Cubase 14 update.

[@toddfrombethesda6963]

This is just in case anyone thinks this library is cheating. It’s not, these kinds of recordings are extremely difficult to do in mock-ups (downright impossible sometimes). Which is why a lot of composers love the EVOs series, and I see this as a continuation of that even if not in name.

[@dilzaaaa]

Sames. I love the Evos. They're so inspiring.

[@PianoPrinceOfAnime]

Wait. People think this is cheating?

[@stevenceballosmusic]

Who would think this is cheating?

[@toddfrombethesda6963]

@ some people have critised the evolution libraries as being pay to win no effort libraries. I’m just reiterating the purpose they serve and the fact it isn’t all that possible with traditional mock-up tools. That’s where specialised tools like the EVOs or Phrase libraries come in.

What a nice surprise! I will probably grab it today as I can hear how it will work in a current project! This is fabulous..

[@giuseppe_calandrini]

This is pure gold. Stunning! You guys at Spitfire are amazing. I can't imagine my signature composing style on feature films without your libraries. Big love from Italy

[@EchoScape74]

For a velocity sensitive plugin like this it would be nice to see some kind of an indicator, to show us how hard we actually have to hit the keys in order to trigger a specific sound. You have that in various other libraries so it should not be that big of a deal, I hope. Brilliant library by the way 🤩

[@jeffbird5082]

I agree like on contemporary drama toolkit and British one as well

[@EchoScape74]

@@jeffbird5082 Yes, something like that or what they did with the performance patches from Symphony Orchestra.

[@thomaskaasi4225]

Sounds awesome! Great walkthrough, as always, Paul 🙂

[@rickhood]

Love all the Olafur stuff, I will get this. Question: if you create something with this, how the heck could you write a score for it if you wanted to? Is there some tool that could be used?

[@HousePlant_Ambient]

So glad that you guys decided not to go through with Kontakt. Happy to see it under the app itself. Bought it and can’t wait!

[@vadersgoldfish]

Wow. Just wow.

[@JonasDenolf]

This sounds stunning!

[@zhongyiwang3165]

It makes me feel very calm and divine.

Paul’s childlike chuckles make me wanna buy this as a toy for myself. 😂

[@AMBIOSIS]

Love your desk Paul. Great walkthrough of a gorgeous library too. Using it already behind a clients poem.

[@AMBIOSIS]

Nice one Olafur, a pleasant surprise indeed. My 2nd library from you and they go so well together.

Within cells, interlinked

Music for the soul 🙏

[@Jeronimo365]

Drop dead gorgeous. 🙏

[@chrisrifflett]

Absolutely incredible

[@joshualerner180]

Amazing!! Question before i jump in and buy it: i notice in the cells full band section, the notes seem to drift off of pitch up to around +10 (cents i'm guessing) is this something that is controllable or are notes "randomly" going out of pitch when triggered?

[@bhavearth]

INCREDIBLE !

[@nesofearth]

So good✨

[@BenBerkenboschMusic]

Sounds absolutely astonishing!! Very musical and inspiring sounds!!!!! 🤩

[@DANIELHELAND]

Ben I'm afraid we must get this :)

[@Simeon_Harris]

lovely, so silky. studio is looking good, paul.

[@sudhanva-bhat]

Hi team, thank you for the amazing library❤ Could you please let me know if these velocity based performance (currently mapped to different velocities) can be re-mapped to say other parameter say aftertouch? This would enable one to play these patches even more expressively, particularly on a keyboard that supports aftertouch (especially roli and osmose expressive e)

[@DanTremblayMusic]

These are sounds you could get blissfully lost in.

[@HenoelMusic]

Amazing!!!

[@rrinvisible]

Nice! On the website is says that buying a product from a collection gives you a cross grade discount - I have 2 Ólafur Arnalds products already, but there is no extra discount showing for me when I go to buy Cells -cam you explain please? Thanks

[@jowscaife2590]

Cross grade discount is 25% for existing Olafur instrument owners. Original price is £200 so yours should come up at £150?

[@ilandzmusic7848]

how many gigs is the library?

[@iggswanna1248]

being Spitfire's, id say about 4.8 Terabytes

What’s the keyboard being used here? Thanks!

[@anthonyworthydaretodreammu2451]

Love this library.... Who makes that red fader equipment?

[@sathyngouane359]

The manufacturer is Choi Sauce Designs

[@massimoplaino8120]

What is your expectation?

[@SaschaSelke]

Could it be there is a spelling error with “long sparse”, which in the interface spells »long sprase”?

[@AlexBlackhouse]

Apparently is a pre-release in the video, v0.4.14, on the web a screenshot said v1.0.3

[@ilandzmusic7848]

Is this ready for immediate download or is this a pre-order?

[@rodterrell304]

Nice, but it all sounds the same. I've yet to hear some actual music, lots of cool sounds but, how to use them.

[@toddfrombethesda6963]

It’s for underscoring

[@jonnystuart4940]

Why is this stuff always drenched in so much reverb?

[@toddfrombethesda6963]

@ because of the hall

[@WilliamMorrisMusic]

Sounds like an evolution of EVOS!

[@XG_]

Interesting… right up my alley!

[@mrmohantyexperiments]

Great video. Plug-in is even greater. One small thing if I could recommend from a viewer experience is showing the video of playing so that we can associate what sounds are created with what kind of playing. Showing the plug-in while playing felt kind of disconnected from that experience especially when we associate the image of Olafur with actual playing. Awesome demos nonetheless.

[@beatsbysnax2107]

let's gooo

Are these tempo synced?

I get no joy out of holding down a key while another artist does all the work for me. I guarantee you that Olafur would never use a library of this nature.

À quand la suite d'Abbey road orchestra ?! (Woodwinds, brass, etc) 🙄

[@dilzaaaa]

To be fair there's loads of work that has to go into every single one of those releases given how many samples are in there. I keep asking the same to be honest. But I'd rather they were perfected before released to maintain the standard.

[@toddfrombethesda6963]

They need to stop those releases, it wasn’t a great collection and people just don’t have that money right now, and pros already have better tools.

[@dilzaaaa]

@@toddfrombethesda6963 It's subjective. I'm loving the Abbey Road Orchestra releases and look forward to having the complete set when released.
