Thanks for the recommendations Fleer. I really love Phase Plant but some of the more EDM focussed banks are really not my cup of tea.

I own Tremor and the Grattis 2021 freebie, but I was tempted by Animus, Suspension or maybe the Andrew Huang one (enjoy his YouTube channel).

Shamelessly plugging, but if you're looking for non EDM patches for Phase Plant, my Man Makes Noise has two libraries for PP on sale at the moment...

I'm pretty much at my spending limit (okay, I passed it), but I've never seen a negative post about Phase Plant, just people writing super positive things about it. Consequently, I may eventually pick this up -- maybe next Black Friday! 

Well... https://audioplugin.deals/phase-plant-turbo-boosted-by-kilohearts/

Opinions on NOVO?
Worth getting if you have other string libraries?

Novo is a great additional string library. I don't think it is your bread and butter strings, but great for adding movement and texture.

Man Makes Noise turned three!

Which means a sale is in order. For the next two weeks everything is -30% with the code 3yearsbaby.

Go and enjoy the sale at https://www.manmakesnoise.com/

I’m a sucker for strings, but 42GB for under $40? Anyone got these yet?

This looks like the same package they have been selling for ages and it is a frigging mess. It's just plainly bad. Save your money for something else. This is a POS library. Avoid it at all cost.

This actually is the library that turned me totally off from Aria Sounds. 

Thom C made a video review of this:

Also now on Pianobook:

Merry Xmas 2021 from Man Makes Noise!

The Lobby Piano is a small grand piano in a lobby. I originally recorded said piano for The Lobby Piano Omnisphere library and ever since it’s release I have had plans to go back a record more from said piano. I have been unable to do so due to Covid restrictions, so I decided to go through the material I already recorded and find the most interesting sounds from there.

I chose 10 different styles and techniques from the original recordings. As nothing was recorded chromatically I had to construct the samples for each of the 10 techniques with sound design trickery. Each of the 10 techniques is now “recorded” in triads for a chromatic range with 4-5 velocity layers, no round robins.

So there is very little naturally recorded material in this piano. This is not a complete piano, but a colours and flavors type of additional piano.

Contents

One Kontakt 6 patch, one Kontakt 5 patch, one Decent Sampler patch, 10 .SFZ patches and 1189 uncompressed .WAV samples and takes up 3,3 gb of hard disk space.

There are also 29 snapshots by Man Makes Noise and Torley for the Kontakt 6 version.

Tech Specs

Kontakt versions require the full version of Kontakt 6 and 5.
Decent Sampler is available for free from Decent Samples.
Plogue offers a free SFZ player Sforzando.

Pricing
The library is free and thus it will always be. Now, you will have to use the code FREEXMAS on check out (it takes 100% off the price). Why a code you might say. Well Gumroad (my ecommerce platform) has a size limit for free downloadable products and The Lobby Piano - Playable Techniques is way over that limit. Hence the code: FREEXMAS

Agreed, but they make you browse pretty hard to find any a la carte option, and there is none for Glory Days, sadly.  

Glory Days isn't yet in Sine. I am sure they will have once they port it over.

What I like about this and am warming up to Orchestral Tools is that these are available in their a'la carte shop for very reasonable prices.

Hesitating between this and Slate’s VerbSuite with a similar engine. 

Verb Suite is more like Seventh Heaven.  

Uuh, grabbed this one. Remember to ask for your extra discount codes if you already own Liquidsonics products.

Just read that these are Irritated Synth Textures...

Personally I didn't like the sound in the demos too much. There's something about it that is not to my liking.

Brusfri is probably one of the best denoisers around. Perfect time for everyone to grab that.

Not even something like Diva?

I do not have Diva, so no.  Phase Plant has my needs pretty much covered and the structure of it works perfectly for me. You can build pretty much the kind of instrument or synth you want with it, without the always having to go full modular to get things going.

Yeah, I love Phase Plant. Version 2 should be nigh. 

If they add a granular sampler to version 2, I'm probably never using another synth again.

Listening to the walkthru. Great sounds, Tapsa!

I should consider adding Phase Plant to my arsenal, it seems....

Thanks!

I think Phase Plant is a powerhouse and capable of a lot more than people seem to think.

"Remember, remember, the fifth of November. Gunpowder, treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot."

Tension and suspense. The two things needed to create dramatic moments.  These are also the two key elements that Fawkes is built around. Drawing inspiration from zeitgeisty imagery in the media and the polarization of the world, Fawkes is a cinematic tension library.

"When hopes and dreams are loose in the street, it is well for the timid to lock doors, shutter windows and lie low until the wrath has passed."

Fawkes blends organic sound sources with synth sound design to create a dark cinematic world of drones, pads, synths, basses and percussions. The 100 patches are designed to move and weave around everything that makes you feel uneasy. With a range of mellow to brutal, static and safe is not what to call this library.

"To evolve we must be free, and we cannot have freedom if we are not rebels, because no tyrant whatsoever has respected passive people."

Contents

100 cinematic patches for Kilohearts' Phase Plant synth and takes up 200 mb of hard drive space.

Tech Specs

Fawkes requires Kilohearts' Phase Plant to work.

And just when I though my next Phase Plant library was finished... Oh well, back to the old drawing board to add some more stuff...

Well, it's Aria Sounds. Not going to spend more words.

30 second teaser theme . . . we like, but we want more . . . sounds like it's just getting going, then it's over ?

I know this is short, but that is the format for that particular radio channel and the program ID's, which this is.

Oh oh oh... One of my all time favorite saturations.

Ooooooh myyyyyy.
