I'm sort of relieved you couldn't find any sounds either, John! I have the free Halion Glockenspiel and a Baltic soundset I bought recently and that is all I could find. I did update Halion SE3 to the latest version as mine was a few releases behind but didn't get any additional sounds then either. I'm glad I unticked the Generic ASIO driver I use ASIO4All (I know, I know ? but it works for me most of the time!) with my onboard sound and didn't want that messed up So still not sure where / how Xel Ohh got his sounds from. Agree with the Steinberg licensing comment too - what a pain - I added the free Guitar Harmonics and it didn't see it at first until I undertook the maintenance procedure again

I went through the Swatches update yesterday and found that some of the patches were very slow to load. I don't remember this being an issue with previous versions. Anyone had same issues. It seemed to happen after going through a few sounds

This is interesting - been using LABS for a long time and had no problems - I'll remember to save my work more frequently now though!

Great video and an excellent short track. Loved the way you built up the sounds!

Downloaded - who can resist? - apart from sensible people ?

Sounds great - have you thought about a duduk Jason? Very few good ones around - only Tarilonte's Desert Winds comes close from what I have heard

Your house must be in such a mess now!

I had a quick watch of the Duduk (my favourite instrument) walkthrough by the same developer - sounded nothing like one from the bits I heard. Tarilonte's Desert Winds has a beautiful one but haven't managed to justify the spend yet. I agree re the sounds of the tin whistle - as a folky of over 40 years I wasn't impressed. The interface is pretty grim too

Thanks John that was really useful!

Whilst I would generally agree with that, I believe that some people have had problems with 20H2 - I've held off installing it - as yet it hasn't been a scheduled as an automatic installation but it is there if I want it I appear to be on 2004 at the moment with no issues relating to CbB

Waiting....

Take care Larry - we'll miss you!

Really hope Meng is in it for the long haul!

As long as it isn't CbB!

Hi Robert - thanks for your response re screensets on the YouTube page for this video which you have also referred to above in your response to Jim. A video on Workspaces would be great too. I set one up to create my template but I am sure there are many like me who would still like more guidance on their use!

Sinclair Spectrum then the Yamaha CX5 which I just used for composition and FM synthesis. Still got it. No idea if it still works though. I remember programming in half of a movement from Bach's 3rd Brandenburg Concerto before losing the will to live ?

@RobertMcClellan may well have covered midi and audio in other videos (I'm sure he will point you the way ? ) and you also may want to check out Mike at Creative Sauce who has a complete course on Cakewalk here. He also has a specific video on routing Kontakt. Hope these help

That's certainly my position - I've never been an early adopter - didn't get a mobile phone until I needed to call home after a conference (as I was going on a pub crawl ? ) and found none of the phone boxes worked and one of them had been used as a toilet! I'll stick around until the upgrade from TS2 to TS 3 is worth it - I wouldn't go to more than £100 as I don't really need the stuff

Yep Peter please stick around - most of us recognise that your response was out of character and you graciously apologised. I'm sure none of us here us innocent of not losing it occasionally in a discussion and regretting it afterwards! The best thing about this forum is its friendliness and helpfulness - ok we get a bit annoyed about stuff sometimes but we shouldn't shoot the messenger!

Orchestral Tools has a free percussion library for the free Sine Player. Not sure how extensive it is but the sounds I've played have been pretty good

Quite a lot of stuff in there over and above TS Max 2 so I don't imagine it will be a cheap upgrade

Yep that seems to work for me too

Sine Player is the VSTi - you then load Layers sound files into the VST. It's not the easiest of hosts to get around admittedly. Orchestral Tools also have some new free sounds including a very good string ensemble

Definitely. A few disappointing ones but lots of great stuff in there especially the more ambient / atmospheric ones

That pesky abacab - I'd have beaten Larry if wasn't for him!
