Starship Krupa Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 The sale blurb says that this started July 3rd, but I don't remember it, and anyway, it's worth a bump. Strings, Woodwinds, Brass, they're all great deals at this price. Pluginboutque, and of course, they always throw in a giveaway license, which this month is for a master analysis program. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abacab Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Or get the SONiVOX Film Score Companion for $39.99, which includes the 3 instruments listed above, plus Big Bang Cinematic Percussion and Eighty Eight Ensemble. These last two are on sale separately for $14.99 each. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cclarry Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) If anyone wants these, I have them for sale for $2 less each... unregistered serial #'s Edited September 30, 2019 by cclarry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid Rosefelt Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 The sounds are surprisingly good, although they show their age by lacking legato. There are some little extras, like some runs, that make them worth it for layering and extending other libraries. But they are wildly overpriced. I got the strings for $1 a few years ago, and they all have sold for less than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mánibranðr Studios Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Keep in mind, they are essentially abandonware at this point. There is a reason they're on sale for so low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason they're on sale for so low. Which is a shame as Sonic Implants and Sonivox were some of the first samples (albeit SoundFonts) that I used in my early projects. The drums, and concert strings were so very nice (especially the Con Sodinos which are missing from the String library in the bundle). I picked the bundle up a few weeks ago just to sort of preserve some of these wonderful sounds. The Cinematic percussion and brass are also very nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid Rosefelt Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Based on the way they're going, someday they may pay people a few bucks to download these libraries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason they're on sale for so low. Most plugins are abandonware as far as I'm concerned. They are 64 bit and VST, I'm guessing those standards will be supported for a little while. I've got Waves v9 pluings from a year ago that don't work as they are Abandonware if you don't pay more than I paid for them in the first place to WUP. Own Strings and Brass but have never installed them (size and ilok) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Cinematic Percussion, the sounds are great! But ... the kit mapping per patch (.svx) seems to be all over the place, due to the variety of percussion instrument samples available. I have found no way to see what sound is assigned to each pad, in each percussion patch, without playing through the range of notes assigned to the kit. Without some sort of drum map I have no idea what I'm working with. The sounds for each patch are not listed in the brief User Guide. Have you found a solution for this?

I have only played around with it briefly but noticed things were somewhat difficult to understand initially, it has been mostly trial and error for me.

Thanks for the feedback! On the plus side, the individual samples (.wav files in the Samples folder) for this particular instrument aren't locked down, so they can be imported into another sampler for playback. Build your own percussion kit! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only Sonivox VI I have no complaints about is the Eighty Eight Ensemble piano. All other libraries are ruined by poor programming. What a drag! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) Still love that 88. Especially its pad combo. Edited September 30, 2019 by Fleer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be worth it to try to create a Kontakt patch out of it so that owners of the instruments can at least have something functional and reliable.

I have the whole Premier bundle, and as far as I can tell, only the Big Bang Cinematic Percussion samples are unencrypted. The .wav files from its sample folder will open in any media player. The others give errors in the player such as invalid file format, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really really hope Sonivox gets their stuff in order soon then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that is completely in the hands of inMusic now, which has bought up a bunch of companies such as AIR, SONiVOX, Akai, M-Audio, Alesis, and others... https://inmusicbrands.com/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
