Not the first time we create NKIs customized to a user liking. We did it in the past for other artists too. A request is always welcomed and if it’s an easy thing, there you go

Wow! A bit OT maybe, but thanks a million! Such input from artists like yourself is a strong motivator!

Cheers,

Simone

Thanks to you, Piet! For the sake of completeness: we just released an update to Celestial. We created a 'fork' to Celestial since there is one key with a little bit more bell to it. But some customers and testers found that a feature rather than a drawback. So we created a separate set of NKIs for ...

EDIT: bought!

well... thanks!

ok, listened: it's got more 'bell' to it... I remember we had a few problems in that range when sampling it (we had to work on the whole mechanics since these instruments are old and 'beaten'). And this one must have slipped through... I remember very well having to deal with E4. Will fix that ...

Simone, If it's not too much bother, could you perhaps see if you can do something about the note F4? It sounds quite different from all the other ones, particularly that tick-y attack which it has and that none of the others have. Here's an audio illustration . You'll hear immediately what I'm ...

Chocolate Audio has announced Celestial, a sampled celesta designed for balanced sound and ease of fitting in any mix. Features: 0.5 GB (lossless compressed) library size, 449 samples. 4 Layered channels: Spot mics with AKG C414EB, Decca mics with AKG C451E-CK22 and 2 additional sound-designed ...

I managed to do a proper long-running walkthrough.
Chapter times are in the description to the video.

Enjoy!

Looks like you will have to settle for Cyber Monday

Well... crazy as it might seem, they are sending me a new card in just 7/10 days... so I am just surviving with my revolving "credit" card

new videos are coming soon. I beg your pardon for being so late, but I fell ill + Black Friday craze + got my credit card cloned (so no Black Friday for me, damn!)...

You're welcome! I will do my best to do a walkthrough with the new harp too... in the meantime tomorrow I will publish a new video (using that sound) better explaining all of the interactions you can have re: Glissandos and other artics.

My harp search is ongoing. I bought Angelic Harp and banged it not my template, but I never got on with it. Depending on the preset, it always either stuck out too much or vanished. I reluctantly returned my old EWQLSO harp to the template which still sounds more balanced to me. I don’t love the t ...

Hi! Just a quick heads up to let you know the intro pricing is ending tonight.

Cheers,

Simone

Believe me, I am with you regarding this wish

Chocolate Audio has released O.D.D Grand http://www.chocolateaudio.com/products/oddgrand , our different take on the Grand Piano sound. We chose to sample the Yamaha C6 piano in Italy's Art&Music Studios with full detail (11 dynamic levels) but stop before the "ff" dynamic, in order to have a piano ...

Chocolate Audio instruments are on sale: 50% to 65% off.
Until Dec. 3rd.

I hardly ever used GP in my life. But doing such a huge sampling job (and in two different periods: 2007/2008 and 2012) has been awesome for us. This gives an idea of software development times: in 2012 they were already working on GP7 and planned for the extra sounds they wanted and hired us to do ...

makes sense. Never really used it myself, but I made, I think 100% of the samples that are in GP6 and GP7

Seems like they use it since they just released a new version

Hi,

the DI is clean, not from the amp, is from the guitar.
Of course there's no 10s in there, since we sampled only the first two octaves we barely reach the 2nd string (B)

Checked with Gianluca: the gauge of the strings is .010 to .074, thanks for asking!

Right now I can't remember the set of strings we used but it was not an high tension wire size string
I am asking Gianluca to find out.
Yes the DI is there too.

Thanks for your opinion!

Simone

And of course that's something which is already in our "eventually to do list" for e potential expanded release in the future

And thanks for the reply anyway... don't want to sound unpolite. I was just making our point regarding the production style. The stuff I do as an engineer is usually more on the acoustic side of things but I see the all of the beauty of this beast as it is. No-noise included
