Options to adjust trigger behavior

The Ripple Cello Options panel showing Speed, Direction, Sync, Release Samples and Headphones controls

Speed

Samples were recorded at 110 BPM and automatically time-stretch to fit your project BPM. Half and Double speed options are useful if your project BPM happens to be much faster or slower. Triplet options provide further rhythmic possibilities.

Direction

As Played means you can get upward or downward ripples, depending on the order you play notes in. Up and Down ignore play order, always running the same direction.

Sync

Sync locks the ripples together by automatically cutting into each new sample as it's triggered, so overlapping notes fall into step.

Release Samples

A ripple plays to its end, then crossfades into one of four release samples, chosen automatically by where you were in the swell.

A built-in idea bank of MIDI clips.

Preview them, then drag them straight into your project.

Watch

This walkthrough features Ripple Viola, but it applies to Ripple Cello too — Ripple Cello just has cello samples instead of viola samples.
