				VI LABS Modern U | Upright Piano Library
Simeon Amburgey replied to Simeon Amburgey's topic in Instruments & Effects
Actually Soundiron's Emotional Piano is sampled using a Kawai. I also did a video on that. It is a very nice sounding piano indeed. They also had the Kawai you mention at the church where I grew up playing, nice memories indeed. - 
	Here is a review I did on the Ivory Pianos.

	Here we go. The VI Labs Modern U will no doubt find its place alongside of VI Labs Ravenscroft 275 as one of the finest piano libraries. They really did a wonderful job in capturing so much detail, along with very thoughtful mic positions and effects. I hope you enjoy spending some time as we explore VI Labs Modern U together.

	Here is a very interesting idea I have been learning more about. Check it out. https://lbry.com

	Here are a couple of vids I did for Ascend. It is somewhere between NOIRE and Motion Keys. Being a Steinway gives you that different tonal color, and then there is Heavyocity’s spin on things which is very nice.

	I have really enjoyed using MODO Drum since it was first released. I am more of a finger drummer and do not use loops or patterns much and the playing experience is really nice. I love the depth of the sound of most of the kits, I normally gravitate to the stock Studio kit and love the ability to fine tune the drums,

				XPERIMENTA Out now: Due Pianos 1.5 Out now: Due Pianos 1.5
Simeon Amburgey replied to cclarry's topic in Deals
Here is a recent video I did for the previous version. I have the update and probably should do a follow up. I can tell you that this is a very nice piano library and the update just takes it up several notches. The current pricing is also very good. Flavio is an independent developer, a fabulous musician and most of all a really nice guy. Enjoy. Xperimenta Project | Due Premium Pianos for Kontakt | A Prayer For Italy - 
	Well, I am not what you would call a typical orchestral arranger for sure but I have gotten used to the one instance per instrument. I think things have stayed pretty much the same with just subtle updates to the library itself. I REALLY love the Strings, especially the Con Sordino articulations, they are so glassy and beautiful. A lot of the issues I hear others mention is with the sound itself as it was recorded in the large studio space which gives the sounds a wetter feel than some are looking for. It is definitely not a dry library but very beautiful. I am also still getting used to using the controllers to work with Expression, vibrato, etc. hich I have mapped usin gmy nanoKONTROL. Definitely more to come as I discover more.

	The Spitfire servers are probably getting massively hammered !!!!

	Nothing here as well. I am glad they are including this for existing BBCSO users. Since building my new system things have been a lot nicer and the CORE version of BBCSO does look very good for some of the things I work on most. The Mode switching is also very interesting.
