This is FREE???
Ok.
The sound is incredible, beautiful and usable in EVERY score. Lots of character, tons of inspiration, super playable, and the GUI is absolutely gorgeous and super user friendly. In other words, perfect.
What else is there to say???
Bells that pop!
I love these! I seem to have a fascination for bells in my music. When I found the Schulmerich Handbells it was the quality recording of bells that I needed. It breaks through other orchestration with a clear, crisp ring. Gotta like this sample library! Thanks Jon Meyer.
Um, Peppers?
Wouldn't you be skeptical of an instrument made of peppers? I was. Edu Prado proved me wrong. What is this??? Cling wrap pepper drums? Sounds clean and incredibly awesome! My favorite is the flute, Edu literally made flutes out of peppers! It is a pure sound, a bit airy and gives an organ vibe that I like.
For me the only drawback is the untuned percussion, sounds a bit too raw for my taste. But I added some drive and reverb and it was pretty decent. For a pepper instrument... amazing!
The video is what makes it though, make sure you check it out! Stellar job Edu, looking forward to what else you make!
This is going in my permanent piano folder!
First off, the pad is my favorite part. A sparkle in the background giving flavor to this piano. I actually boosted the volume to full so that I could hear it more. If I had the choice, I would love to have more control over the pad. I actually want to have the option to hear it more. Most of the time, I like where it is balanced, but again, control is a big thing for me.
The piano itself is a muted texture that blends beautifully with the pad. You also can reduce the tone to give it an even more muted feeling. Love it! I also love that this is a different flavor from the pianos I have. And I have some quality pianos... but this one gives me just another perspective to add to my scores. Not to mention the pad.
Excellent work Paul James!
Deep and Resonant
This instrument gives a very dark, moody feel that I love. My favorite knob is the Pluck, crank that up and the notes rumble. Although the range is somewhat limiting, the notes that are there give a tonal punch that I will be using in my scores. Another useful instrument from Dekoningtan!
