Unleash the Darkness with Ghost Cello 2

Ghost Cello 2 is nearly double the size of our original Ghost Cello with four times the amount of patches!

From eerie & distorted drones, pulsating pads, and mind-bending effects to modular mangling, distorted pulses, and more.

Whether you’re crafting dark atmospheres or intense soundscapes, Ghost Cello 2 is built to stand alone or seamlessly complement our flagship Ghost Cello library.

For Ghost Cello 2 we turned to cellist Piper Manthei to deliver her own brand of unique tones and precise playing techniques.

Piper has been playing on Kevin Manthei’s scores over the years as well as contributing to Kevin’s private sample collection.

Over the course of a few years and many sessions Ghost Cello 2 came into focus – thank you Piper for being a core part of this library!

Like our previous libraries, Ghost Cello 2 offers an incredible blend of authentic, realistic cello tones and a vast array of processed sounds that transport your compositions to a whole new dimension.

A standout feature of this library is the MOD FX patches, letting you seamlessly shift from subtle, organic tones to fully immersive, effects-heavy textures—all with the twist of a dial.

You’ll also find MOD MIC and MOD PITCH patches, giving you ultimate control over microphones and pitch.

Use the MOD Wheel to unlock the full potential of Ghost Cello 2 and shape your sound exactly the way you envision.

We have divided up the library in the following categories:

  • Authentic – featuring huge single & double octave long & short patches, cello percussion, sul ponticello & tremolo, phrases & more!
  • Distortion – Over 30 patches that take you from a dry or lesser processed sound to a full on distorted soundscape via the mod wheel.
  • Drones – over 30 drones with most featuring a 3 zone layout – Low, Full, and High.
  • Engine Processed – With a team of 11 programmers we’ve crafted some mind bending processed patches utilizing our Triumph Audio Engine!
  • Events & Textures – featuring Bendy, Bowing with Wood, Clusters, Creepy, Pizzicato, Slow Rise, Sound the Alarm & The Creeper.
  • Modular – We took the original cello samples and transformed them via modular processes to create a selection of fx, loops, one shots, risers, soundscapes, pads, and drones.
  • Pads – nearly 20 pads in various styles and processing.
  • Pulses & Loops – Explore a massive collection of loops and pulses created from the original cello recordings and via our Triumph Audio Engine.

Step into the Unseen. Welcome to Ghost Cello 2: The Dark Side

Have been playing with Ghost Cello 2 all afternoon. I LOVE IT. I’ve never heard anything like this! It’s such an astonishing and uniquely versatile instrument – textures, phrases, tones, effects, both organic and processed. And the quality is utterly exceptional. It adds so much color and weight to a track. This goes into heavy rotation for me!

“Ghost Cello 2 is the perfect complement to Triumph Audio’s signature “Ghost Series.” It sounds incredible as a standalone library, and when combined with the other “Ghost” instruments, you could single handedly score an entire TV show. I love using it to add tension to my music!!”

“I’m obsessed with Ghost Cello 2. It’s inspiring, versatile, and generous with the amount of patches included. This will definitely be finding a place in my permanent template and on my future projects within the realm of horror, drama, and sci-fi. Ghost Cello 2 is designed to make you stand out. It screams quality AND quantity!”

“Ghost Cello 2 proves to be just as versatile and useful as its predecessor. I’m continually impressed with how seamless these libraries drop into any given cue I’m working on. I really love the clarity and focus of each instrument. You can tell how much work was put into designing the patches.”

Layer Mixer

  • We are excited to note that Ghost Cello 2 is programmed to utilize the Layer MIxer on the Main Page/Page 1 of our engine allowing you to easily customize the gain, pan, and tune of the layers – this feature is especially useful for our various MOD patches. Note that this library is programmed to feature the first 2 layer mixers and does not utilize the 3rd layer channel.

Multi Zone Mappings and COMBO Patches

  • Many of the Drone patches and various patches throughout the library have 3 different yet related zones programmed into one patch – a Low, Full, and High. Experiment with three unique types of samples right at your fingertips.

  • Further, keep an eye out for COMBO patches – these patches are similar and have multiple samples per patch that are programmed to be played side by side.

Use The MOD wheel!

  • Using the MOD wheel in a MOD FX patch will allow you to go from a less/not affected version of a sample into an effects-laden version.For any non MOD FX patches, use the MOD wheel to control filter cutoff.

  • Discover various types of the MOD FX feature like MOD MORPH, MOD PITCH, and MOD MIC.

  • MOD MORPH: toggle between one sample into a totally different one.

  • MOD PITCH: toggle between one sample into a differently pitched sample.

  • MOD MIC: toggle from close to stage mics.
