I'll try again tomorrow 🙂

No joy here - instruments showing up in Sine but no way to download and getting spurious error messages - I think their site might be getting hammered!

Yeah it's hard to know what is causing your issues. I just boot up the programme and it's running in around 20 seconds. There are occasional updates but that's good news and they take very little time to install. You need to tell us what your set up is etc to see if anyone can help. Don't knock the  development team though, they're doing a great job and I'm sure will help if you need it

still not showing for me - I think Spitfire 'stage' their rollouts

SAA did ask me to install the recent LABS release though - It's done this a few times, where it thinks it's not installed, even though it is and it's working fine.  I just install it again - nothing changes but the nagging goes away (a lesson for life there I think)

I've had that happen a few times too - thought it was my age.......relieved it's not just me 🙂

I was thinking about your Tutorial thread earlier when I was wanting to see where my HB AAS soundpacks had sown their seeds! 🙂

I've resisted so far. Not long to go......

Wonder if there's anything new in there?

All went well except my browser opened to release notes for 2020.11?

Opened 2021.01 for me. All seems ok initially. Thanks to the team and the testers for the latest release!

I'm not touching 20H2 with a bargepole - fortunately I haven't been pushed to install yet though it is in my optional updates

It looks that way from the website - you can import to ST3 and use in ST4 but not sure how they would stand up to modern sounds - I have a few I got when I had ST2

Ah yes I had forgotten about that!

Thanks for the feedback. I think I'll give it a miss especially as I have lots of free reverbs already

Mike's  video might help 

I'll stick with Discover, Garritan PO and Miroslav 🙂

I got the email. I'm not going to rush into it this time though.....

Maybe... if you're gonna share them, but then again not many people use sound fonts nowadays. NKI (Kontakt) and SFZ are more popular.

Personally, I wouldn't bother though.  I'd just the samples you have into TX16Wx and use them from there. 

Thanks. I must admit I thought SFZ were soundfonts! I'll stick to samples then

Sforzando is a soundfont player - you can't create soundfonts with it.

I believe you can with TW16Wx, but not 100% sure.  I personally use Sample Robot to create my multi-samples (including soundfonts).

The only other program I know of that can create soundfonts is viena  (note the single n... not to be confused with Vienna which is Creative's own product):

Thanks. Is there an advantage to creating soundfonts rather than making a sampler instrument? 

Thanks scook - post crossed. Not heard of Grace  - will look at that too

Thanks that was the one I was aware of. Not sure how easy it is to use but I will investigate

Would another option be to create sound fonts using Sforzando or similar?

I've recently bought Zero G's World pack which includes multisamples to create a multisampled instrument. I've not created one before so was wondering what I am best to use. I'm assuming one of the samplers in Reason would be a possibility but if I wanted an instrument I could use in CbB what should I use? Not sure if it is possible to set one up in the free versions of Kontakt Player, Komplete Kontrol, Halion SE, Momentum or Independence that I own. If not what is the most user friendly free sampler around - ideally one that could automatically map the samples across the keyboard - or am I asking too much of a freebie? 

Thanks in anticipation of any advice you can give me

I know that feeling only too well Bill!

Maybe just email harvesting?

oops too late - I've got 2 factor authentication on paypal though I think it looked to use shop pay which I've also got 2 factor on

I've deleted my card from Shoppay as it was almost expired anyway

What was that I said about not downloading any more free effects?.......
