Steves-Lens
An ex-IT Geek, approaching retirement, and involved in wildlife welfare, who, despite a devastang lack of musical talent, loves the process of making music and pounding the keyboards as a form of therapy. At the moment I can't add my Instagram username as the form keeps removing the underscore from steves_lens
Steves-Lens’s Reviews
Dan is the Man!
Another Gem from Dan Keen. It's gotten to the stage where the name "Dan Keen" on an instrument is a guarantee of quality. What I love about his work is that it is not only technically sound - no pun intended - but there is most often a genuine, usable instrument to play with, as well as the bonus pads and other derivations which genuinely complement the core instrument. Frozen Glock is no exception.
Inspirational stuff
Seriously, I had chills just watching the video. Holey moley guacamole!
A Sample instrument that keeps on giving!
So many things to love about this. The metallic tones especially get a ringing endorsement (Sorry)!
It's like opening a Christmas present only to find every parcel contains more parcels - such fun to discover the range of beautifully sampled sounds, each with a fascinating array of effects. I can see so many uses for this instrument - it is indeed a tuned percussion orchestra in its own right..
Love the slightly "distressed" GUI, and the way Sam and/or Obolig have thoughtfully suggested an accompanying ARP with each. I'm positive I will be exporing this for days!
This rocks!
I'd be lying to say that my expectations for this were high. After all, we have access to gigabytes of free and paid Braaams. Do we really need more? What could the Pianobook community offer that hasn't been done a million times before?
As it turns out, quite a lot! An understated, well designed GUI, with hidden features provides not only access to an impressive collection of very cool Braaams, but to a host of effects and faders that deliver an almost endless variety of speaker-rattling sounds. This is better than many cinematic braaam libraries - free or paid. Proof yet again that the Pianobook Community Rocks!
Quality Stuff
This is all about sound quality. I already have Hunter's World Percussion library as one of my favourites, but this is another level. Thank you!
