Thank you for sharing, the library included seems tailor made for Irish instruments, but also include others like banjo.

The tenor banjo in the demo seems a little light, compared to a full-bodied Irish Tenor banjo.  Here is the late-great Barney McKenna

I've seen and heard so much praise for this developer. I do mostly rock and acoustic singer songwriter music. Is there any plugin of theirs that I should look into? Currently I only have their freebie, I think it's called Super Massive. 

Their Delay and probably the Vintage Verb

Nice, been waiting for that harmonica 

Yes - it's the best out there for gritty folk/bluesy stuff

Reporting sounds needing an update but downloads being expired as well.

At least there were no malware warnings this time around.

same here

Did you mean Indiginus The Fiddle? It's a very good fiddle. The Boulder fiddle is also excellent. There's also Embertone's Friedlander which can be a little less formal than the Joshua Bell; not an outright fiddle but still usable for this format.

RC-20 seems to get good reviews. Is it worth it?

There are going to be a lot of deals…

Name them ...

Oh, I love Uilleann Pipes!! I already have Dicky Deegan's and Ilya Efimov's, and also the fairly decent set in the Kontakt Factory.

For the real thing, has anyone here been to the Transatlantic Sessions shows? They go on tour in the UK in February each year to seven or eight venues. Led by Shetland fiddler Aly Bain and Dobro-meister Jerry Douglas with the top drawer of Celtic musicians (Phil Cunningham, et al) and including guests from UK and USA (and further - they had Tommy Emmanuel a few years ago). Anyway - Mike McGoldrick is one of the band and he plays U-pipes.  These events are fabulous nights. 

Has anyone experience of Realphones? I was looking at them lately to compare with my current combination of Morphit+Can Opener.

I saw one thread which brought out the Russian ownership of the company which claimed a  Russian/Ukranian collaborative team with the company claiming they've taken their operation out of Russia with no taxes paid in Russia now. Of course this has no effect on the technical capability of the application, but people do have opinions these days.

Anyway, Realphones say:

It's a great lightweight-yet-fully featured editor, like Audacity, but more professional.

I have the icon in my taskbar, and use it a lot for basic functions. I certainly don't exploit the full capacity of the program. But like kitekrazy, I've had this for a couple of decades at least.

I also have Wavelab, but Goldwave is a great one-click accessible app.

Truly innovative. A great loss

@Reid Rosefelt I successfully extracted the files using 7-Zip. I selected all 4, extracted all at once, as illustrated in the video Embertone posted.
I then dropped the Honkeytonk Harmonica folder that was created in my Native Instruments folder.
Then I dropped the Honkeytonk Harmonica.nki (from the Instruments folder) into Kontact 7.
(these instructions are for those that are not exactly Kontakt literate; that would be me. Not for Reid 🙃)

Thanks for the link to the VI thread.
Still no contact from support 😡, but I'm sure they are busy...

That's what I did. As far as I can see there is nothing missing, ad it works fine (at least using kontakt 6.7)

I really love this! You can find my first implementation of it here. It comes in at 0:57sec. I have no affiliation with Embertone. I'm just very pleased with this VI.

Agreed - great track. Excellent production.

HBD to the Big L

After Friedlander, Joshua Bell and others (including that sax thing)  this was a 5-second no-brainer.  Great sounds

at the very end did I hear you quote a little riff from Them's version of Baby Please Don't Go?
The pull off, then slide down...

Yes, probably subconsciously at first, but then I realised. The Grease Band also used the riff.

Yeah, I bought Jazz Noir and it's great.

Agreed.  See the demo on YouTube or the BFD site. Just bought it.

I got BFD3 yesterday.  Sounds are great. User interface is almost at Windows 3.1 level. My main misgiving is the reports of the flaky license management, Does anyone know what happens at the 90 day mark?  Don't tell me Elon Musk is about to buy the company.

Thanks Grem.  I used their downloader initially (the slow and broken downlaod).  I've just d/l'd the rar files direct without the d/ler - much faster!

Installed - It's ok.  Certainly the voice is pleasant, although the overall scope of the instrument is a little narrow.

Arghhh .. 8 hours of downloading and "Jenifer.rar" is corrupted, please download again ...

I will, but it's the last 8dio I buy

jdf

Still, at $20 it's worth a punt.

However, dig yourself in for a long wait. The 600+ MB is downloading at a trickle of 30kb/s

Yes, that did it. Installed ok now, Thanks BTP
