Crumbs... next year maybe

Right, and nothing's changed up until today... so, where were we at re horn sections?

Shaka 50% off... I might bight.

I can't comment on SWAM but the AS horns and pianos do sound great indeed and I would already have much more of his libraries than I have now if the sale prices were more affordable. So my money must go another direction and so on year after year .

I completely agree. When listening to Pianoteq harp it was a pleasure vs astonishment while when listening to toons harp I wasn't sure what I'm listening to.

Yes, must have extremely nice UI and give sound.

That should make any synth track more organic.

I thought that would be Fleer's job!

Exactly, same here. But it may disappear once v3 is out.

I had occasional crashes with Synthmaster so I'm looking to buy Zebra legacy and see if that helps.

You're missing only a glass of drink with a cherry and a small umbrella in one hand... and cash or card ready for a Xils synth in second .

Thanks, I'll do that after I'll buy at least one more wurlie lib. to my collection and make comparisons myself. Re the Soundpaint wurli not to worry, it was a good trigger to finally download the player I had been postponing. My take on the whole ITB instruments thing is that to me they are like someone's personal approach to picture a real thing so as such I want to have a few of each with different flavours for different occasions. With time sure I'll have my own personal favourites.

Glad I paid only $5... I blame you 😂😂

And I'm not about playing nor mixing skills. It was more of a heads-up that velocity curve vs response is such an important factor with instruments like wurlie and that it could quickly spoil any results giving impression a library sounds unrealistic. And it can easily slip under the radar even for experienced players like the one on video I was talking in my post. I mean ideally every wurlie library require separate recording and if not possible then at least an individual adjustments of the velocity of recorded MIDI and only once you got the best results there then the remaining differences should tell you which library sounds best to your needs.

Shootouts like this are tricky. With just a tiny mismatch between how the dynamics of a library got sampled, I mean its velocity response and your keyboard touch it can quickly get very deceptive. For example in the video in the other thread where the guy was playing a real wurlie on weighted keys and a few libraries on a synth keyboard... man! I mean that was an instant major fail even before he started because synth keys are much lighter and still he was bashing on them same as on the real one effectively making most of the libraries sound much much brighter than the real Wurlie. If you used the same MIDI with different libraries, it takes just as little as a small adjustment to its velocity data to make it bright or darker while there's nothing wrong with the actual sample library. Especially that we're talking on such a dynamic instrument like a Wurlie. Best thing you can do is to actually play them to get the feel. If you're after a library for use with MIDI files than there's a lot you can do by playing with the velocity data making most of them sound really good most of the time.

If I upgrade from v6 to v8, does v8 install alongside v6?

Woohoo! 🤤

Initially I thought you're talking about the infamous distortion feedback trick but then Poly D has it implemented too. Re Poly D, you're right it's paraphonic but it really gives the feel of being polyphonic and it's a such a huge change that's missing from the original. I watched the live transmission to try pick up where the fairy dust goes in to the hardware but couldn't spot one... Doesn't mean there isn't any, could be they want keep hiding it Haha.. I'm too lazy for that, didn't want to loose a sec here on forum!

Inquired minds want to know. Unfortunately I don't have any of these three..

That's 5K per voice!

I blame Larry!

Remember there's also a good one from Softube, I think it's called Model 72.

Luckily I already have my precious Poly D which costed me wupping $449 and now I can peacefully watch free photos of the new Model D. Was Behri built to last a lifetime? Maybe not, but I can buy another one .
