Ueberschall has announced the release of their newest loop library, Upright Bass 2. As part of the Instrument Series, this product focuses on the upright bass. Here is what they say about the library: In skilled hands, the upright bass is an amazingly expressive instrument, capable of adding instant character and class to a musical arrangement. As a follow-up to the original Upright Bass release, Upright Bass 2 is a further product in the Elastik Instrument Series, each of which focuses on a single instrument. As before, it features virtuoso playing, captured in pristine audio quality. However, the performances in this release contrast with the original by delivering generally lower tempos and a deeper, warmer, tone, with plenty of sub-bass content and the perfect amount of room ambience to let the performances breathe. Upright Bass 2 provides a collection of authentic phrases, filled with musical details, that can easily be combined to create a totally realistic performance. The library contains over 800MB of samples, with nearly 450 different loops and phrases. These are organized into 30 folders, each containing between 9 and 21 phrases and phrase variations. The folders focus on giving enough variations to create a realistic, varied contrabass accompaniment while not wandering too far away from the original theme. Individual loops have a length of 2 or 4 bars and can easily be combined to create longer performances providing plenty of musical variation. With Elastik's time-stretching and pitch-shifting capabilities, the phrases can easily be mixed and matched between folders, or to suit the needs of an existing musical project. Summary: Credits: Upright Bass played by Christian Flohr. 840 MB, 445 Loops & Phrases. Instrument: Upright Bass. Elastik Soundbank for Mac/Win - AU/VST/AAX/StandAlone. Elastik Player included - no sampler required. Price: 49,- Euro. http://www.ueberschall.com/goto/693/Upright_Bass_2

Who's ya Dadi? Ample Sound has released Ample China Dadi (ACDD), a new virtual instrument built on the Woodwind Sample Engine (native Apple Silicon M1 support), with 5.8 GB samples, including head and body articulations, FX sounds, as well as a select collection of improvised licks. The Artist: Xiaokui Ding (China National Traditional Orchestra). The Instrument: The Singing of Dragon C D E F G key 5 Dadis (Xuehua Dong Masterbuilt). Sampling: Recorded with 5 mics (Front, Middle, Back, Stereo Ambient). Each mic volume is adjustable and equipped with channel EQ. 3 Mic modes: Mono, Modern and Traditional, capable of colorful sound designs. There are 3 kinds of articulations – Head Group (blue keyswitches), Body Group (yellow keyswitches) and Special Effect Group (red keyswitches). Each group occupies one octave. The head group is used to perform grace notes at head. Articulations with more grace notes are assigned to higher keyswitches; Ascending and descending articulations are close together. The body group can not only perform grace notes at head, but can also be used for articulation legatos to express changes of the sound body. The woodwinds have great dynamic range and timbre variation. The sample library provides 5 velocity layers, with sound from mildly soft to bright and strong. There are 2 velocity layers for Expression articulation, 2 velocity layers for Vibrato articulation, and real samples of Trill sounds. Together with SAHDS virtual modulation system, they can create vivid and realistic notes. Note velocity is used to control the start time of Expression and Vibrato articulations, to generate slowly developing notes or strong notes. The sample length is about 8 seconds on average. In most cases, it can meet the requirements of a note. If longer notes are needed, users can turn on the Sample Loop function. Features: Intelligent Legato System: The Auto Legato System detects the duration of each note. For legatos whose duration is less than this value, only the straight legato will be triggered to ensure that no unwanted grace notes are generated during fast performance. When note duration is longer than Legato Time: Velocity（126-127）Triggers Layering Legato (Ascending) and Ripple Legato(Descending Velocity（96-125）triggers Grace Legato Velocity（32-96）triggers Straight Legato Velocity（16-31）triggers Soft Legato 1 Velocity（1-15）triggers Soft Legato 2 In Slide Legato mode, low velocity triggers slide notes. In the real performance of the Woodwind, the legatos are ever-changing, sometimes hard and sometimes soft. Legatos with no changes cannot completely simulate real performance. Hold pedal can be used to turn on Double Legato Mode. Endless Articulation Legato: The body group can be used for endless articulation legatos. For example, you can start with a Sustain, hold the note, then play the Expression Keyswitch (C1) to play legato to an Expression note; then play Marking keyswitch (E1) to play legato to a Marking note, and then press Laying keyswitch (F1) to play legato to a Laying note, and so on. Creative Mirroring Feature: Playing the keyswitch when a note is sounding will reverse the sample at current position. It changes for example a Slide Up to Slide Down, or a Slow-Fast Vibrato to Fast-Slow Vibrato. It can also be used to control the sustained body of notes like Expression. Voice independent SAHDS Modulation System: Each voice has its on SAHDS modulation envelope. You can get natural and realistic vibratos while keeping the Mod wheel in one position. The mod speed, gain, and pitch can also be adjusted. Adjustable Wind Effect: The Wind is the sound of air blowing in the Woodwind tube. We extracted this sound from each real sample to enable the independent control of this element. The sound of the woodwind without the Wind is very pure. Moderately control the volume of the Wind, and make some changes during the performance, can increase the feeling of "dirty" and breath, and improve the realism. Other new features include sample skipping technology, random articulation, keyboard mode for playing chords etc. System Requirements: Windows: Windows 7/8/10, 64-bit only (32-bit not supported). Mac: 10.9 or newer versions. VST2, VST3, AU, AAX and Standalone host (Rectangles). Intel i5 or higher. iLok Anti-Piracy system, which requires a free iLok account. The license can be stored on the local machine without an iLok dongle, or on 2nd/3rd generation iLok dongle. Intro Price: $109 until February 20th, 2022 (Reg. $149). https://www.amplesound.net/en/pro-pd.asp?id=40

I sure can't find any....

It's for those who have opted for the "Beta" program. If you go to settings, there is an option to get the beta updates. Yes, Cakewalk updates can be done via Cakewalk directly now, but there are still things in BLA for some!
