People say the sounds are very good in these libraries even though they are old. The main defect is that they lack modwheel dynamics. You can only control volume with CC11 I'm going to pick up the woodwinds. It's got multiple key-switched articulations for Solo Piccolo, Flute, English Horn, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon, and Contrabassoon. Plus ensembles and sections

I think it's great. Particularly the multis. I think the synths sound great. Unlike the Arturia V collection, which lets you combine two synths, Syntronik lets you layer 4. It also has a lot of effects derived from T-RackS and Amplitude Plus, IK has updated this a lot and offered free samples and patches. The Deluxe version is not really worth it IMHO. It only adds a few synths, and one of them Memory V, has just been offered for free.

6 synths and 9 instruments and 2 effects Some of these things aren't new freebies. A lot of them probably were in the free Kontakt Player and Reaktor libraries. Guitar Rig Player is one of the included effects. Still, the LE versions of Analog Dreams, Ethereal Earth, and Hybrid Keys, plus Kinetic Treats are new freebies You also get Supercharger Get it HERE

A good way to expand on this is to buy MIDI packs from Groove Monkee. They work seamlessly with AD2. You are all right, though. They haven't brought anything to the table since the mallets. I've put all my drum budget into AD2 for the last few years, because I like the sound. But lately I admit I've become more interested in Groove Agent 5.

Get it HERE $36 for Desktop. Usual price is $60. They also have a free demo if you want to try it out.

I agree about their instruments, but Vienna Ensemble Pro is a unique product.

Like a lot of people, I got this as part of this APD Impact Soundworks Orchestral Bundle of five libraries for $99. This is an excellent deal and a great library, but It's not impossible that the Orchestral Bundle will come back, as many of the previous APD ones did last year on Black Friday.

Karl Pilkington would snap up this deal!

Sale Page is HERE Sale ends 2/17 at 10 am PST Also includes Mark II Suitcase Piano ($38) Wrenchenspiel ($18) Free You ($58) Instant Acoustic Nylon Guitar ($78) and more...

It's at this exact price pretty often--that's what I paid--but I wasn't aware that you could get it anytime. It's funny, I happened to be playing with this a few hours on Sunday.

This is one of my favorite libraries by far. Very helpful in working on orchestration if you are just getting into it. It's a lot easier to play something like this across your keyboard than to keep referring to a chart to remember what the standard range is for specific instruments. You just play on your keyboard and you hear how a string or brass or woodwind ensemble sounds. And the solo instruments and ensembles sound good enough to be in my template, and compare surprisingly well with some of my other libraries. Good sounds with lots of articulations. There are also some amazing multis that are very inspirational. Plus percussion and a choir. Well worth checking out

FYI, Frostpoint isn't an instrument, but a collection of impulse responses. I highly recommend Terracotta. Well worth $15. Dual Music Box ($5) sounds like it is just two music boxes, but it actually is a really beautiful sound design tool, with a lot of unusual pulsing, pad, reversed, effects, etc. I am very partial to FrozenPlain. I have everything but Phoenix and Frostpoint now. And I think I will pick up Phoenix at this price. Aside from the special sales that come out now and then, FrozenPlain usually only discounts to 30% off during their sales.

Yes, this is something most people experience with the Randomizers. I moved all my Audiofier libraries over to my SSD and batch resaved and they all load much more quickly. Another thing is that you have to follow the instructions in the manual to get the snapshots to load.

I would buy the M32 in a second if it had the light guides. I have a second mini-keyboard for key switching, but having one with lights would be the ultimate. But I might get it anyway. ?

The people at UJAM must be going, "Damn, we just got our Virtual Bassist series on the market and you tell us this?" Ouch. Toontrack is going to do great with this. Knowing all the expansions that will be done for this makes it a very appealing product. Not to mention the synergy with EZKeys and EZDrummer.

Buy and forget. Classical GAS.

I got an older version of Nectar Elements for free in some promo I don't even remember. I really like it. Great interface, lots of presets. So I feel like iZotope has already given me the Elements Suite. But I guess the newest Nectar Elements will be the next one to turn up for $1 on Plugin Boutique.

I'll demo this and, if I like it, wait for the inevitable $29 sale. ?

Thank you! I found it!

The price is right for the A25 but it lacks the colored lights on the keys, which is to me one of the best features of the previous ones.

I installed it but can't find Repair Assistant. This page says it's in RX7 Elements Do you know where it is?

I love it. It's one of the three libraries in their Randomizer series. Aerkord combines bowed , ethnic winds, and vocals. Abstrung is strings. Vesper is "bells and twinkly things." I bought Aerkord and Vesper after I got a deal on Abstrung in a sale like this one, and really liked it. This is a steal at the price. It's a very powerful instrument that sounds beautiful, and can also come up with some really unusual sounds through its engine. The Audiofier "Randomizer" series is not about presets so much as hitting the randomizer button a lot and getting some unexpected results, which you can save. You shouldn't think of it as a Rompler with a lot of deep instruments. It's all about the way you mutate and warp the sounds with effects, reversed sounds, arps and sequencers, etc. But if you want to keep it simple and just combine two sounds -- a Vocal Ah and a Duduk, say, it can do that too. That's what I mostly do. If you want to get the most out of it you need to watch the Audiofier videos on YouTube. All the Randomizers essentially work the same. The one caution I would make is that it is 22 GB and for some reason it takes a while to load on a regular hard drive. I have it on an SSD and it's not instant, but it's decent. Once it's loaded you're good to go. Audiofier is an amazing company. I'm very curious about their new Riffendium.

They said they will continue to support Kontakt. But I wonder if that will just be for the old libraries. I wonder if their new Layers library will be released for Kontakt. I bet it will be like LABS instruments for Spitfire.

Just found this summary on VI: Control: Orchestral Tools has created a free Orchestral Tools Sample Player, in conjunction with Axel Hartmann. Features include Auto Volume Scaling to enable legato transition and release samples to blend better, High Res Resampler, Mic Position Merging, Core Implemented Legato, and Advanced Articulation Management. Libraries will continue to be available in Kontakt format as well. The new sample player will debut with the release of a free instrument called "Layers: Studio Ensembles," using small ensembles structured in layers of different kinds, such as mixed timbres and chords. Customers will also have a wider choice in pricing structure with the availability of bundle pricing and à la carte pricing for individual mic positions, instruments, and articulations. In addition, Orchestral Tools announced Junkie XL Brass to be developed with composer Tom Holkenborg, who promises a larger than life sound. The company also announced LA Sessions: Songwriter Instruments, a collection of pop instruments recorded at United Recording, in Studio B. The instruments include Studio Strings, Electric Guitar, Gospel Choir, Acoustic Guitar, Drum Set, Rhodes, Wurlitzer, and Electric Bass.
