Very, very kind of you. Thank you so much.

Thanks a lot Larry T. ?

Xperiments by Dark Sky Audio (Kontakt full 6 & 7) is now available. https://www.darkskyaudio.com/ Massive cinematic sci-fi sounds, huge modular and analog samples, fully fledged multi-mode filter, crazy multi-fx and more. • Easily intensify the sound with dedicated macros and modulation controllers, or dive deeper into Xperiment’s filters and multi-fx. Need to supply email & subscribe Tried it - 99 patches, very analog-y, lots of potential to mangle

Thanks for listening Jeff

Thanks as always Nigel. Have appreciated your support throughout the year ?

Thanks Dream Art Scientists - appreciated !

Variety of Sound has released a 64bit V2 of Thrillseeker LA (Windows only). His version of the LA2A. This is a cracker for almost any instrument (along with the other 64bit updates). The vst is on the download page. 2/3rds down https://varietyofsound.wordpress.com/2012/03/02/thrillseekerla-released-today/

My final demo track for Pianobook 2022. And the haunting sounds of Eraphine by Venus Theory , in Decent Sampler format are used. In addition from Pianobook : EBow Piano / Choral Harp. From LABS by Spitfire : Arctic Swells / Cello Moods. And Originals - Intimate Strings. I would also like to say a big thank you to all those here who have listened, commented, liked and given me encouragement. I really appreciate it. Thank you. Love this forum.

Thanks very much PC ?

Thanks V much Dean and AndyB01

Last year. Everything in the Calendar was new. Would expect the same this year.

I have a feeling that Venus Theory is going to have a field day with this.....

Thanks very much Nigel

I picked up Aleatoric by Ergo Kukke on Saturday at Loot. And got Audiothing Bubbles, Mfreeform Analog EQ, Ujam synth (installed and deleted !), and the Massive presets. A good deal. Plus had an email from Loot offering 5% extra off the new Ben Osterhouse Violin. But useable on any sale if you wanted.

I bought the mini for £10 last week. Had an email today offering an upgrade to full for $70. The expansions are cheaper at PB than on Lunacy Audio site as thay added 20% VAT

Ben is heading for superstardom (if he isn't already knocking on the door).

Thanks Wookiee ?

KSband - Thank you

Thanks DaveT2. Appreciated !

A track illustrating a new sample pack up on Pianobook. In SFZ format - Upright Acoustic Bass by Larry Seyer. This is a track I did a collab of a few years ago with the artist Melusi (a great voice/talent). I reworked the bass using the sample pack. A stillness at its centre is how I might describe it.

Well that's a non-starter! I was really hoping for something this year as good as the BDT/eDNA/Piano of a couple of years ago (see Fleer post).

Free - Skydrones Pads is a double-layered ambient pad library for generating atmospheric sounds. It was designed to produce soft textures that fill the entire space. Need to create an account in order to download. Kontakt full 6.7.1 https://zaksound.com/skydrones-pads/

Here's something to fiddle with. Not sampled but interesting all the same if you have NI Reaktor 5/6. Boscomac has his Wurlitsar instrument for free download. Won't fool experts . But still fun. Plus you get all the rest of his freebies. http://boscomac.free.fr/

I have the full version of Vektor. And can recommend it. The cello is very useful (not if you want a legato solo cello). With some interesting cello noises and artics. It's easy to produce new sounds. And to dig in and create new ones using any combination on the four slots. Perfect for ambient, soundscape, weirdness. etc. I've spent more on other instruments and got less.

Agree with the King. There are some very complex and very simple instruments in there. If I had Kontakt and was new to Rigid Audio. It is a deffo no-brainer.
