  1. I have the e-instruments Wurli and think it's pretty good. I find it's greatest strengths are in how you can customize the sound with the GUI. Especially for the dead key sound (I think it's the unplugged Wurli key sound that they mix in -- which is what I love so much about the AcousticSamples Wurlie library demos). I've created my own presets turning up that dead key sound that I like more than their presets. But I'd say it's a library I'm really glad I bought. I also bought the 145B from SkyBox Audio which has slightly different characteristics than the 201A -- it's more pristine. I have a bunch of Rhodes libraries, with the Famous E being my favorite and I quite like the freebie Rhodes from Fractured Audio too. @jngnz This was the video that sold me on the W. I'd strongly recommend checking it out.
  2. They're clearly a very talented group. I learned about Dan Keen from Pianobook, where he's given away some really nice libraries. Something tells me if I watch your video, it will be very hard to resist picking this up!
  3. I love celestes, but I already own several celeste libraries I'm very fond of. The demo does sound beautiful and I think this developer has proven themselves to be a very talented, high quality shop based on tbeir freebies alone. Maybe I'll pick this up down the road. I'm sure it would be a nice addition to my collection. I'd love to hear from anyone who picks this up.
  4. Get Reiya ROMpler by NN Audio for free, normally $24.95 US, via PLUGINOMAT. Expiry: April 17th. Here's a video of its presets: ➡️ https://pluginomat.com/product/reiya-by-nn-audio/?aff=stu FTR, I did search to see if anyone posted this and there were two threads for the plugin when it was on sale at APD a couple of years ago, but nothing recent and it wasn't free. Still, in the time it took me to do that search and write the post, Larry probably already posted it! FTR, I have no idea of this plugin is any good or not. I listened to a little of the demo audio in the video on my phone, which sounded interesting.
  5. Great point, Brian. Thanks for making the point about compatibility. I'll try the demo before buying it.
  6. I already have this installed, but somehow didn't realize it had a No Quarter based preset. I need to check that one out! Thanks for the post, @Starship Krupa!
  7. I love the sound of his viola in the demos; it sounds absolutely gorgeous. I'd love to hear thoughts on its playability and scripting from anyone who owns it. I've had some DMs with the dev in the past and he seems like a really nice guy. What Bunker Samples libraries would folks here recommend?
  8. I didn't ask @Greg Schlaepfer, but from the shape, I think that's a Fender Jaguar electric guitar. Although I'm sure all of you guitarists know it from the shape. In any event, I love the tone!
  9. That's the reality developers that engage in deep discounting face. Once they discount a product 70 percent or more, it can be very difficult to convince the market that the full retail price is the true value of that library. I've been a Sampletekk customer for two decades and they (Per) have been superb and worthy of recommending. But, to your point, we've all been trained to buy during their seasonal sales where they offer massive discounts and now, even seeing this library for far less than the regular price of $149 US requiring the full version of KONTAKT gets a less than positive reaction that the price is too high. On the positive side, this version includes a free sample player (Sampletekk's $149 version requires the full version of KONTAKT). While I agree with Kitekrazy that KONTAKT is superior to HALion, I think HALion is decent and HALion Sonic 7 is a good option for free. I'm certain that the $69.99 US full retail price will be discounted in future sales promotions. If this went on sale at $50 US or less, I think it would be very worthy of consideration for those who don't own KONTAKT. Of course, even at that price point, there's a good deal of competition (e.g., grand piano libraries with free samplers such as NIs pianos on their 50% off sales, XLN's Addictive Keys Grand on sale, SoundPaint's regular priced piano libraries, etc.). On a separate note, if this is indeed the same quality as the KONTAKT version, the KONTAKT version is clearly not priced appropriately.
  10. I'm contemplating getting this for voiceovers in videos. I'd love to get some opinions from the experienced / knowledgeable mixers in the group about Vox Ducker and other, similar plugins, that are worth exploring.
  11. Okay, I cracked up at with that. It's not my style to communicate with people that way, but it's certainly not worthy of a ban. All they had to do is tell you no name calling. Sorry about that.
  12. I hope that's right about KONTAKT. I found the libraries that Hunter shared on Pianobook well done and imaginative. Also, kudos on the disclosure. I wish more influencers would follow your lead and do them. As always, like everyone else here, I look forward to listening to you play this stuff. It's always a blast and contagious to watch you enjoying libraries and music.
  13. It does sound good. I recognize Hunter Rogerson's name from Pianobook. He's shared some really nice libraries for free at Pianobook. He's one of the people there I follow. I'm interested in what he does. Although I wish they didn't create another propietary sampler plugin. I'd greatly prefer if they remained with KONTAKT or another established sampler rather than create another plugin to learn, install, troubleshoot, and maintain.
  14. That is how I understand what he wrote. I'm just surprised they would ban him and wondering what the heck would have resulted in the ban. @kitekrazy, as you brought it up, would you mind sharing at least, at a high level, what was it that resulted in NI banning you from their forum? If it was merely criticism of NI's products, that's pretty problematic.
  15. Wait, you got banned from NI? If that's right, would you mind sharing? I'm wondering what the heck could have led to that.
