Virharmonic has nothing to do with Wotan.

They just had a sale a while back (went and bought it myself), but they rarely have big discounts. IMO Axiom is worth the price.

Cassette is lovely and I can recommend it.

I do love the timbre of the instrument, more ethnic than classical but not everything sounds convincing. But love the timbre.

Not sure if this is the best place to put this, but I have a question for everyone: I'm starting to develop my first commercial library for Kontakt and am pondering whether to create it for Kontakt 5 or Kontakt 6. Scriptwise I am planning to keep everything as light and uncomplicated as possible but the new effects in Kontakt 6 are tempting me. Any pros / cons in either choice?

Just testing out some sounds for a library I'm working on: No mixing or nothing, just raw testing some of the sounds.

That Ukulele sure does sound nice.

This was one of the plugins I left out when I installed my new system. It always had weird crashes and didn't work properly.

I have and use the VLA-2A and like it alot.

Oh this is one of those plugins that gets way too little attention. It's a bit weird but somehow really nice and funny and useful.

No expert in Arabic music, but damn those sound synthy.

Changed the original post to contain the release information.

It's not. I was hesitant as well, but once you get it it's such a great tool for everything.

And another demo. This one is a dressed track with additional instruments used: https://soundcloud.com/manmakesnoise/a-solitary-space-farmers-day-dressed-by-karri-neenberg Library coming on Monday.

Personally not a fan of the timbre of the instruments. But that is personal preference. The cello has a nice oriental tone though.

Well, their business model is based on the WUP so of course they do everything to make you buy it. Not really customer friendly. One of the reason there are only a few plugins from Waves that I have not found an alternative to.

Second demo. All sounds from the library.

First demo:

A good deal, though personally I've found less and less use for the sounds in these. A lot of one use sounds there.

Thanks!
