Bravo Paolo e Fluffy Audio!

The video was a pleasant change of pace from how the city is normally portrayed, so your intentions of staying away from the very ingrained Baroque were clear and successful. I also quite liked the music!

Those layouts look great, Guy. Initially, I purchased MIDI Designer to gain access to my Roland FA-08's synth underbelly. It turns out it has some very nice design capabilities that are absolutely buried. Using MD makes using the Synth much more accessible. I also spent a little time way back design...

+1 fo Midi designer. Have been using it for about a year and quite like it. There’s plenty of layouts to play with and if you take a little time to understand its implementation, you can design your own simple layouts covering your own needs. My only reason for not using it as often as I could, is t...

Way to go, Jaap! I’d heard of this endeavor when it started a few years ago and was very impressed by the brilliance of this young kid. And by the simplicity of the idea as well. Kind of like how a 10-year old might say: well can’t we just scoop up all the plastic with a big net? But then this kid m...

Thanks for the reminder, Jaap. Just grabbed it in the nick of time! Whew...

Appreciate it, Daryl. Even at the more modest 35% off, it might still be the only great solution available.

Will be very curious to see how you get along with it Daryl. My tendency right now is to not upgrade.

It’s been a while since I read up on this, but the way I understand this is that 16 vs 24 bit is important in regards to headroom during the recording process to keep the ratio between noise and main signal at bay. Here 24 bits have an advantage over 16 bits as there is more headroom. However, once ...

Odd, I’ve been seeing this same discount every time I check since they’ve released Spat Revolution. But yeah, with this price I’ll wait until support for Spat 3 officially ends. Yes, that discount seems to have been there for ages. I'm also not spending that kind of money for an update. Just a head...

You keep up these updates Guy, and I may just have to sign up...

Seriously, thanks for reporting back.

Exactly the same here, for the same harp-ish reason. Anyone able to comment please?

Sure, if others could use it, I’ll start a new thread! I simply thought people weren’t too keen on Kontakt synths and well, I’m not a programmer so it’s really quite set up to my personal preferences. The SFM bundle has a lot of sounds, yes. I’m going through it still, picking out the patches I like...

Here's my little GUI, along with a very crude video showing how to set up the zones from other instruments. Once the setup is done, you'll need to save the new Kontakt instrument as its own patch inside the Instruments folder. You can choose to save the samples along with it, or simply keep them whe...

Not really, but I'm happy to post for to try it. Gotta run out now but will do a bit later.

You are certainly well-stocked, Guy, given the synths you have listed in your possession. I’m not short either, but I do find enjoyment in creating my own presets (dubious of originality, mind you) and having them exclusively for my projects. The GUI gives you quick access to several pages of Kontak...

Completely understand where you’re coming from with this, Guy. That was my first reaction in seeing the lack of GUI: a groan. However, I look at it like this: there are some gems in there from synths I will never own. I’ve already been purchasing hardware synths, creating sounds and then sampling sa...

Jaap, Glory Days Big Band Horns, by Orchestral Tools. Simple laziness on my part. And Springsteen ain't bad either ;-)

When looking at the following embarrassing list please keep in mind that I wait until this time of year on non-essential purchases... 1. Glory Days 2. Slate Virtual Buss Compressors 3. Audio Ollie Scoring Synths 4. Softube Weiss Compressor/Limiter 5. Kush REDDI 6. Fluffy Audio Dominus 7. Galaxy Vint...

Good to hear. Looking forward to having a play tomorrow!

Thanks for posting this, didn’t know they were having a sale. Good deal if only to get my hands on some Russian synths...!

Same here, Kyle. Though I seem to remember that I like to go for one of the longer sampled decay times and slightly less low frequency content.

Yes, I noticed that too. And it's not by a small margin!

Guy, the Soundtoys link currently points to the Goodhertz website.
