Celemony Expands Tonalic

Celemony has expanded Tonalic with upright bass sounds. Here's the story in their own words...

Tonalic – the plug-in from the creators of Melodyne – brings real performances by world-class studio musicians directly into the DAW, adapting them musically to your own chords, tempo, and groove, with the sound, the feel, and all the detail that lives between the notes. Tonalic is a platform that expands regularly, at least every three months, with recordings of new musicians and styles.

Today, bassist Paul Kleber takes the upright bass into modern territory. Where his first sets covered jazz, latin, gypsy and early swing, the new performances are funky, groove-driven lines built for hip-hop and pop productions: acoustic, thoroughly modern, and hooky enough to build a whole song idea around. They lock in with the drums and the percussion in the library and open up a musical corner that did not exist in Tonalic before. And the update has a second side: bowed upright bass, with a much wider range of performances to draw inspiration from. They carry the articulation and the melodic movement of a musician who has lived on the instrument for decades, and they layer up into something much bigger, under a guitar bed just as well as under a vocal.

Paul Kleber came to the upright bass through classical training and adapted his playing to jazz, pop and electronic music. A fixture of Berlin's jazz scene since the mid-1990s, with Jazzanova Live and the Moka Efti Orchestra among others, he has worked with Emilíana Torrini, Fink, Dee Dee Bridgewater and Nina Hagen. His timing makes him as much a groove player as a jazz player, and his lines carry the harmonic sophistication and fluidity that have made him a sought-after partner in the studio. His recordings, with their numerous variations, transitions, and endings, are a genuine enrichment for the Tonalic library.

For subscribers and prepaid license customers, the new performances load automatically at the next program launch, with no additional action required. New customers always start with the latest library.
