Larry Shelby Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Pure Platinum Passion The 2004 Flute Platinus is an emotional and expressive instrument, featuring 6 legato types, sustains, trills, short notes, dozens of arcs, and more. The player we recorded was deeply invested in every single note on her instrument. When the notes come alive in Soundpaint, that passion is felt on every key, and it feels like the player is sitting right there. Platinus includes several vibrato types covering a large range of emotional intensity. If that wasn’t enough, vibrato can be further diald in using the Time Rack Module. With 3 microphone positions (Close, Decca, Wide), the sound can be an emotional and intimate, distant and dreamy sound, or morphed anywhere in-between. Platinus is available now. $20. https://soundpaint.com/products/flute-platinus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy1 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Seems like a gamble if they used the Claire which has oboe samples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecelius2 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Yesterday I purchased 8Dio's Claire Flute. Today got a 10$ coupon for the Soundpaint 2004 Flute Platinus. Are they the same? What would be different or additional about the Soundpaint version? Very confused about this. C2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C2 Not sure if they're the same base sample set. 8Dio and Soundpaint are different platforms. Think of 8Dio libraries as more traditional sampled Kontakt libraries, whereas Soundpaint is a new proprietary engine that's probably more geared towards sound design rather than orchestral mockup at this time. There's a lot of marketing hype behind Soundpaint, but people don't appear overly impressed with Soundpaint libraries (yet) - though it is still early days for the platform. With Soundpaint, you can import different sounds and layer them up, so it could make for some interesting sonic textures. Be aware that Soundpaint libraries generally have larger disk footprints than their 8Dio counterparts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C2 Soundpaint has a 2 machine limit where a Kontakt library can be installed on every system you have with no registration gimmicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
