And it's ... Schadenfreude !
Try translate that exquisite concept. Think you'll need a lot of words in English or French

Now that our "Evolution Banshee" 8-string metal guitar is in beta, check out this first audio demo written by Cory Pelizzari.

eta update so I can begin the ratholing? Also, you mentioned earlier in the year you were thinking of offering different loyalty discounts for those of us who own all your stuff (or most all)... any further thoughts on that?

Spitfire Audio has a great new model... "complete ur bundle" which really encourages this. And, as the bundle continues to grow you can just re-complete it.

And thanks, Greg...sounds great as usual...I'm lovin' both Strawberry and Stratosphere with the new engine... I think you've finally nailed it like no other!!!

2-3 weeks? At this point it's just finishing odds and ends like the demos, encoding for the Kontakt Player, etc.

Yes, with the release of this library, there will also be the new loyalty discount system in place. It's a pretty simple system, and your existing purchases should transfer over so you can get the loyalty discount right away. There'll be more details on that as we get closer to the release.

Will you still offer a regular Kontakt library? I for one would eben pay a little more for that.

What's the benefit of that (just curious)?

Hi Greg

For me its direct access to the samples but most importantly not having to deal with the technical problems again that can and have come up with player libs.
Also i can reorganize my full kontakt libs easier.

For me it's the other way around.
Will you bring your fine libraries such as ERG and Steel Strings to Kontakt Player (and the library) ?

Wait, the 8-string won't be in Kontakt?

Oh don't worry--it's Kontakt only. Just with the Kontakt Player added.

Oh ok. I wasn't worried. I acutally got RealEight from MusicLab and I like it a lot. However, I am REALLY eager to try your library. The bareknuckle pickups, that is all.

Yeah, the Bare Knuckle Juggernauts really made a big difference. The guitar originally had Nazgul/Sentient pickups, which were decent, but the BKs gave a lot more definition to the low end.

GREG!!! I was hoping for a 4th of July release.... I thought it would be appropriate... I'll paypal you the bucks to celebrate and beta...

Can dream, I guess!

Gregjazz · Post by **Gregjazz** » Sun Jul 05, 2015 5:17 pm

Ah, unfortunately not yet. However, I did submit it for encoding last Thursday, so we're well on our way for releasing soon.

Gregjazz · Post by **Gregjazz** » Wed Jul 08, 2015 11:42 pm

Just received the encoded library back from Native Instruments, so we're close to releasing!

In the meantime, here's something not-very-metal written using Evolution Banshee. All the guitars (tapping, ambient harmonics, melody lead guitar, distorted lead guitar, etc.) are all played live using the library.
