How is the Post Audio Media Celesta?

[Leon Willett]

I would like a Celesta, and this is the only sampled one I know of. Are there any others? Has anyone used the PMA one? Is it any good?

Take care!

excellent, a little on the bright side.

Hi Leon
The Post celesta is not the latest 900MB-heavy instrument (far, far from it) but it is definately something magic. If the demo at Michiel\'s website is not enough, I will record a short tune and post it here, just ask...

Which one is darker in sound?

Please post a link using these libs if you can..

thanks!

We did this short Nutcracker exerpt lately as a new demo for the Post Celesta.
The Celesta is a 32 MB instrument. If you find it too bright I would suggest using a Low Pass Filter to adjust the timbre to your taste. Controlled via velocity the filter can make it warmer. Though I must say the original instrument is always very bright.

Someone, I can\'t remember who, said that he would sample a celesta for free with natural reverb. I personally would like to hear that.
