  1. I'd like to pick up some or all of these types for Labor day or some other sale. I like those piano libraries that have something cool/strange about them, often with other additional layered sounds added to the piano sound.. thanks abacab for sending me down this 🐰🕳️ w/ Shipwreck piano the other day. Then Peter mentions Death Piano and Fleer mentions Halfling and now I must own them all apparently. Below is what I know of so far. Is this pretty much all there is or are there more worthy mentions? Happy Saturday! Shipwreck Pianos: https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/stshipwreckpiano/?pkey=sampletank-sounds-cinekinetik-shipwreck-piano The Halfling: https://www.productionvoices.com/product/the-halfling/ Death Piano: https://www.productionvoices.com/product/death-piano/ Pain Piano (already own this): https://silenceandothersounds.com/products/pain-piano/
  2. That's actually true. There could be more opportunities for you like that down the line. So don't worry about what stuff costs. Like, Gospel Musicians.. I'll probably buy that now since I don't have a stellar wurli that I know of, and I prefer wurli over Rhodes. They both have their place but I like one better than the other. And yeah speaking of GG Audio, their B3 is the B3 I'm gonna get over the IK B3 most likely. With organs, I really like that organ "growl" or palm glissanndo, which is what I think it's really called where you basically start at the low end of the keys and you sweep the keys w/ your palm and you get that kind of organ explosion growl thing into the chord that you play after it. This guy says the IK B3 was the only organ he found that let him get a proper organ growl, but idk if he ever tried the GG Audio B3. I don't see why the GG Audio B3 wouldn't give a good growl, but.
  3. I thought ramen was already off-brand by design
  4. Maybe I missed it back there but was there a wurli that you said at least came close to what you're after?
  5. It's not about that.. it's about the getting.. whether it gets used or not is not our concern
  6. Dang, I just wanted a blaster beam, man.. not something that sounds like I'm busting open the gates o' hades 😧
  7. Yeah thanks for the input there, as those are exactly the kind of devs I wanna know about. So that guy mapped the crash ride to one key.. so you're saying it's not two separate cymbals--a crash and then a ride mapped to one key--but one of those all-in-one crash/rides? Yeah if the latter's the case then that makes sense.. then I guess in the piano roll you get the crash out of it by upping the velocity. I didn't like the sound of that when you posted about that drum kit a few days ago but now it makes sense if it's one of those all in one cymbals. I might check out that kit after all then. I don't mind a stripped down kit with just a couple of toms.. in rock n roll and punk that's what the guy actually has. I'm kind of over those Dream Theater kits anyway lol II'll definitely check out death piano too as I know I have pain piano from Silence and Other Sounds and character pianos are some of my favorite too.
  8. There's a lot out there I don't know about, mainly because I try not to collect vsts. Sometimes it's a turn off to me when people say "for the money, it's really good." I want something that's good regardless of the money, so like with Sospiro Strings you seem to get a lot for not much money, but to me those strings sound great (on YouTube anyway) regardless of what it costs. Like, I don't even own Omnisphere and I don't plan to. Nothing against that app but I really try to limit what I own and I also don't like super large libraries that have like 2,000+ presets. That's too many sounds that I'll never really get to the bottom of, and I'm kind of obsessive about being able to audition every preset in a synth. It's why I don't own any of those Arturia nor Akai collections. I like Synth Magic https://synthmagic.co.uk/all-products/ because the dev Steve is super talented at creating presets, and each of his synths has around 70 presets on average and they're almost all killer, plus he's about that same 80's horror/thriller movie soundtrack composer vibe that I am, that John Carpenter vibe. I did go through a phase not long ago though where I was collecting just about every Mellotron vst I could find, including the g-force collection. Those are some of my favorite sounds, but I forget who those Mellotron devs were that I found. I think Hollow Sun was one.
  9. Dang no sale on shipwreck pianos?
  10. Lol, Wrongtools, great name. Thanks for the list and thanks eveyone else.
  11. For me I'll skip this one I think and get his other string library later.
  12. I'll add Synth Magic as one of my favorite small devs for classic synths. I have many of these, and if I didn't have full Kontakt I'd buy it just to use his synths. He doesn't charge a ton for them either and he has sales now and again. https://synthmagic.co.uk/all-products/
  13. I like finding small dev gems who are turning out great products that are every bit as good (sometimes perhaps better) than the big guys, and for not a ton of money. Since Labor day is coming up, what are the best *small time* devs should I be checking out for sales and any time of year, all categories? Looks like people like Ben Osterhouse's stuff. Who else out there?
  14. Dang, I'm watching that Corey video for Sospiro Strings and that library sounds great plus Corey likes it and yeah I've come to trust that guy too as far as YouTube goes. I'll wait for a sale from that link above
  15. Thanks abacab now I need shipwreck pianos after hearing the demo, and I already just spent $250 on that XLN deal. And I almost thought I had to score that Waves A200 wurli or whatever it is, but turns out I must've bought it a long time ago. The trainwreck piano is a kind of stuff I like, a piano sound with a background sound attached to it.
  16. Is there any way to get a discount on it? I don't think that BOGO offer applies
  17. What are those? Did they sample a piano and what it would sound like when the band kept playing as the Titanic sunk?
  18. There goes De Capo for like $100. I used to want it but then forgot about it sort of. Is that the lowest price it will likely ever get?
  19. How do you guys like the Funk kit? I've chosen my 9 pack, and for the 10th one I felt Indy was kind of redundant after all the rest (for hard rock and various other styles), but the Funk sounds more versatile for things other than just Funk and I liked it's overall sound. I really wanted to like Retroplex, but I really didn't like it's snares from the YouTube videos. Here's my 10 I think: 1. Reel Machines 2. United Heavy 3. Fairfax 1 4. Fairfax 2 5. Vintage Dry 6. Black Velvet 7. Modern Jazz Sticks 8. Blue Oyster 9. Black Oyster 10. Funk As for companies not coming out with new stuff; what about Sound Toys? Have they come out with anything new at all that wasn't a free update to the already Sound Toys 5 we all have? I mean what are those guys doing over there?? Why aren't they making something else?? I mean the current stuff is great and all that but what if I wanna buy something else?
  20. So I guess there's not a bad one in the pack then?
  21. Word. I think it was NI that really p!$$ed me off w/ Battery, when they removed a major feature from Battery 4 - didn't make the feature better, but just straight up removed it. I don't remember what that feature was now, I just remember it really making me mad and seeing on the forums that many shared that anger
  22. I guess this is finally my chance to switch over to AD from SD2. It's time I updated my SD2 (and I don't even have many packs with it either), and in reading about ease of use and quality of sound w/ AD (and price vs Toontrack pricing) I'm gonna go ahead and change over to AD all together and leave Toontrack behind, no offense to Toontrack. What are the best Adpacks to get? I'd probably get the 6 pack, but maybe the 10 pack if I really needed all that. I know I want Reel Machines, and I like big hard rock and grunge doom type drum sounds, so I'm seeing that 70's kit there.
  23. Actually I remember now when I was researching accordions the XPERIMENTA one was mentioned a few times as being a really good one. I ended up getting Accordions 2 for 50% off but I may still grab the Xper one at some point as well as the Le Perisein one maybe
