First time I hear about this brand. Did it sound anything hammond-like or was it something completely different? I read they have been producing Leslies, wow! We thought about making a video for whatever purpose should it be, it's just pub gigs mostly FWIW. The problem is, I can wipe socks off peoples feet with my Hammie on our gigs unless I see a cam in front on us then I instantly become paralyzed ? so it can take time. I'll try remember to post or PM.

Got it. Looks like you're not on any collection at all, having just all the singles (edit-or the legacy collection). I remember a thread on kvr where people were disappointed with korg not honoring that. I had M1 LE so I took advantage when they were giving that cheap upgrade path first to the Legacy Collection and then to the new Korg Collection right afterwards, having to jump through their convoluted codes and web accounts. I think I paid $99 altogether but it was worth it!

NVM... I found the corresponding topic, thx

Do performance samples run a sale too, Larry?

If by saying "legacy" you mean the old Korg Legacy Collection then yes, the price is steep as there was a big upgrade step from Legacy to the, on that time, new Korg Collection (now version 1) with 64bit and Odyssey and it was similarly high priced. However if by legacy you mean Korg Collection 2 or 1 then indeed sucks, cause I'm currently on 1 and was wondering what would be my upgrade price to 3.

You've just hit perfectly what I'm currently playing on our blues/soul gigs with a hammond trio A lady singer who plays bass guit/upright, a drummer and me. A few weeks ago I bought the little baby leslie 2101 to complete my XK3 setup and just had my first gig done on it! No need to tell how jawdropping difference it made to the internal leslie simulation, not exactly same as the vintage 122 but close enough to put a smile on our faces. We share passion to same music styles indeed. I just wish I had experience based on close contacts with such awesome bands and musicians like you had, man that's ridiculous! ?

I vote for ostinato claps & snaps...?

I'm more into this weirdy lovely type of stuff, so more of a rhodesie and hammondie thing though wurlie could fit easily too... trying to crack in to their heads (or is it hearts more precisely) to see what's there should I need a little bit of the same in mine before making any proper chop on my own

Crumbs... next year maybe

Right, and nothing's changed up until today... so, where were we at re horn sections?

Shaka 50% off... I might bight.

I can't comment on SWAM but the AS horns and pianos do sound great indeed and I would already have much more of his libraries than I have now if the sale prices were more affordable. So my money must go another direction and so on year after year .

I completely agree. When listening to Pianoteq harp it was a pleasure vs astonishment while when listening to toons harp I wasn't sure what I'm listening to.

Yes, must have extremely nice UI and give sound.

That should make any synth track more organic.

I thought that would be Fleer's job!

Exactly, same here. But it may disappear once v3 is out.

I had occasional crashes with Synthmaster so I'm looking to buy Zebra legacy and see if that helps.

You're missing only a glass of drink with a cherry and a small umbrella in one hand... and cash or card ready for a Xils synth in second .

Thanks, I'll do that after I'll buy at least one more wurlie lib. to my collection and make comparisons myself. Re the Soundpaint wurli not to worry, it was a good trigger to finally download the player I had been postponing. My take on the whole ITB instruments thing is that to me they are like someone's personal approach to picture a real thing so as such I want to have a few of each with different flavours for different occasions. With time sure I'll have my own personal favourites.

Glad I paid only $5... I blame you ??

And I'm not about playing nor mixing skills. It was more of a heads-up that velocity curve vs response is such an important factor with instruments like wurlie and that it could quickly spoil any results giving impression a library sounds unrealistic. And it can easily slip under the radar even for experienced players like the one on video I was talking in my post. I mean ideally every wurlie library require separate recording and if not possible then at least an individual adjustments of the velocity of recorded MIDI and only once you got the best results there then the remaining differences should tell you which library sounds best to your needs.

Shootouts like this are tricky. With just a tiny mismatch between how the dynamics of a library got sampled, I mean its velocity response and your keyboard touch it can quickly get very deceptive. For example in the video in the other thread where the guy was playing a real wurlie on weighted keys and a few libraries on a synth keyboard... man! I mean that was an instant major fail even before he started because synth keys are much lighter and still he was bashing on them same as on the real one effectively making most of the libraries sound much much brighter than the real Wurlie. If you used the same MIDI with different libraries, it takes just as little as a small adjustment to its velocity data to make it bright or darker while there's nothing wrong with the actual sample library. Especially that we're talking on such a dynamic instrument like a Wurlie. Best thing you can do is to actually play them to get the feel. If you're after a library for use with MIDI files than there's a lot you can do by playing with the velocity data making most of them sound really good most of the time.

If I upgrade from v6 to v8, does v8 install alongside v6?
