Sounds That Inspire: 'Cells constantly amazes me with little melodies in random intervals, often sparking new melodies for other instruments.' - Ólafur Arnalds. Our latest collaboration with Iceland's top musician Ólafur Arnalds, Cells goes beyond a typical sample library. Ólafur has 3 GRAMMY nominations, a BAFTA for 'Broadchurch', and an Emmy nomination for 'Defending Jacob'. Cells is a great tool for composers and producers. It lets you feel like a string orchestra is in the same room with you. There's also a toolkit of vintage analogue synths crafted by Ólafur. At the heart of Cells is Scale Mode, providing harmonic movement for inspiration. Ólafur created the mini - performances that, combined with Scale Mode, offer a creative playground. Spitfire Audio's engineers added a 'Played' mode to Scale Mode, enabling real - time control of intervals. Cells creates a space where unpredictability and harmony meet. It frees composers from the blank - canvas problem, offering new ideas with a key press. It has intuitive responses to keys and scales, fitting well into workflows. Recorded with SinfoniaNord at Hof Cultural Center in Iceland, they helped create rich emotional performances detailed by Ólafur.
Using Cells is easy. First, start by opening the software. The Scale Mode is at the heart of this product. You can use it to get harmonic movement that follows your tonality. Just select the key or tonality you want to work with, and the engine will start providing you with relevant intervals. If you want more real - time control, switch to the 'Played' mode, which detects what you're playing and gives you options accordingly. When it comes to the vintage analogue synths, feel free to explore the different signal paths created by Ólafur. They add a unique touch to your compositions. As for maintenance, make sure your software is always up - to - date. Check Spitfire Audio's official website regularly for updates. Also, keep your computer's system requirements in mind to ensure smooth operation. When you're not using Cells, close the software properly to avoid any glitches. Have fun creating amazing music with Cells!
