Mixed and Effected

It’s clear that one main intended use of Poiesis Cello is to exploit the A/B X-fade control as a form of expression or device for generating peaks and valleys. Like other instruments, MIDI CC 11 may also be activated to provide expression, but delving into the Advanced menu of the Textures patch will also open up further potential. Three styles of X-Fade can be selected, with each providing capacity for anything from subtlety to greater overall volume. A reverb section provides either Hall or Room settings, with potential to extend reverb tails to 20 seconds, with a generous and effective pre-delay. It all adds up to a sizeable creative package, where the control elements and reverberation can bring much to the overall operation and musical level of the suite.
