Time for new instruments at Pianobook. https://www.pianobook.co.uk/ Volitions by Venus Theory (Decent Sampler format). Plus - English Classic also at Pianobook. LABS - Micah's Choir, BBCSO Discover, Soundpaint, Kairatune vst. And the old Ethera Soundscapes. Venus Theory has 4 free instruments up at PB all in Decent Sampler.

This was amongst a load of freebies from Presonus when I bought my Presonus 26c interface. It's a very versatile multi fx. And recommended.

The "famous" Paul Stretch has been taken on by new people Sonosaurus and updated to PaulXStretch https://sonosaurus.com/paulxstretch/ now at ver 1.5.2, standalone and vst3. It's claim to fame is it can make a 3 minute song into a 14 hour ambient indulgence. One thing to notice is it places a PaulXStrtech folder in the vst3 folder. This contains 2 other folders and the vst3 file. CWB cannot recognise it (though my Studio One 5 and Soundforge do). For CWB to scan it you need to copy the vst3 file out of the PaulXStretch folder and just paste it into the vst3 folder on its own, then delete the old empty folders. Then CWB will see it when you scan. I don't know if this is a quirk of CWB or my system. But up and running. It recognises my Presonus ASIO driver and is in CWB as an effect. You can make transform stuff beyond all recognition.

Foundations Staccato Strings | Cinematic Strings | Heavyocity https://heavyocity.com/product/foundations-staccato-strings/ The next freebie from Heavyocity !!! (and it appears in the libs tab - so serial number via NA)

Thanks very much Tom. Yes, many happy memories that I cherish.

Nicely done. The pulse coming in at 1.50 helps to pick things up. Spacey indeed.

Thanks Bjorn. There certainly is.

Thanks DeeringAmps. That is kind of you.

Thanks Nigel, jack c.. Always appreciated ?

Thanks Bapu (as my daughter is half Greek. Your name causes confusion - it means father). I feel I have the official seal of approval ?

Thanks Wookie. That was the vibe (documentary style) I was going for. Thanks Andy. My experience as well. I used a free BBC sound effect off their site. As it seemed to complete the illusion.

New sample packs at Pianobook https://www.pianobook.co.uk/ Illustrating Gibson Harmonics by Tom Parry. English Classic Piano also at Pianobook. And Micah's Choir from LABS at Spitfire Audio. Happy memories of me and my daughter.

I'd say that was their best Ton ever (and I missed it). Thinking Contemporary Drama Toolkit could be in this year. Over on VI-C a few think the new Polaris is Edna Earth re-visited.

Trust Larry to "sniff this one out".............

I don't think there ever was a Mac version.

Continuing the changeover to 64 bit. VoS has re-released the Boot EQ MK 111. (a real cracker of an eq) https://varietyofsound.wordpress.com/downloads/

Thanks treesha (and it has started snowing here in the UK. So I may have been a bit premature!)

In addition. There are hundreds of free patches on the Vital site. https://forum.vital.audio/t/february-2022-free-patch-sharing-thread/8994 They are vital banks. You put them in the vital docs folder then import them from within Vital.

I did exactly the same as you last year (other than the card , got a Presonus instead). I had 3x HD. And over 6 months swapped them out for SSD - Samsung for system drive, and 2x Crucial for samples & content, plus some VST. The difference was HUGE. It's worth the extra to invest in SSD.

Thank you jack c, ?

I'm speechless ! Thank you so much .

Thanks Tom. Left a reply on SC. Suspect the whales bit is due to the ascending gliss on the violin. So can see why you would think that.

And it's NI Player as well. So shows up in the NI Libs tab !

Ha ! I know what you mean. I was asked many years ago to write something in that manner. But 2 hours of pixie flutes was just too much !

A little ode to the coming of spring. Featuring from Pianobook : Organic Orchestra by Venus Theory / Cyclic Transpositions 01 by synthesizerwriter. And Woven Strings by Jon Meyer / LABS - LA Atmos. A bit of hopeful warmth at the end of winter.
