New Sample Player (FFOSSO) with Free Instruments- Sister to Orchestral Tools

[Patrick Derbidge]

Usually I'm the last one to hear about new stuff, but I haven't seen this posted yet. Another sample player (similar to Sine Player and Labs) from FFOSSO except you can tweak the instruments on the back end. According to the Youtuber they are a sister company to OT.

These guys make some really nice quality stuff, so I'd been meaning to check this one out and will give the video a watch now too 🙂

I uninstalled it immediately because I didn't want the service that was installed on my PC.

That's definitely a shame.. do you have any existing OT software on there? I'm wondering if it's the same as any OT or whether it only applies to this free offering.

I have SINE and I don't think it has any services installed.

What services are you referring to? I can't imagine that this is any more invasive than Sine, Labs/Splice or even IK's Custom Shop.

On Windows there are services that are always loaded and running. For example iLok, Corel and Antares install services.

I don't think SINE and IKM do. I don't know about Splice.

For example Waves installs a couple of programs that run when you start your PC, but they're not services and I have disabled those.

Correct, and so does Native Instruments with Native Access. My point is, a lot of companies have services that run in the background and you can always disable them when they are not running. While Sine doesn't have a background service when it's not running, it does when it is running so this is no different for FFOSSO. At least their service is called FFOSSO Service so it doesn't seem they are hiding anything.  I wouldn't nesseceraly single them out. It's ok not to want to install it if you don't want.
