On the other hand the Hollow Sun "String Synths" sample set is very nice too.
Just had a thought....

One combination I've not tried is layering the Eminent with a Novachord string sound! Hang on a second....

Are there any plans to offer the samples in another format eventually, say maybe AKAI? I'd like to import them into EmulatorX, as I have an adversion to anything NI. Thanks!

I have also tried this and my thoughts are almost the same. Adding some Mellotron sounds is also nice.

Very nice is to add some choir/vox sounds (from the Novachord, String synths, Melltron or PPG sample sets) and a piano like e.g. Truepianos or the FM pianos (also try the Bell sounds !!) from the FS1R sample set.

IMO the ultimate result is achieved by layering 3 or more Novachord string sounds (e.g. "NC346 Induction" + "NC346 Doom Strings" + "NC346 Anode Strings") plus a vox sound (e.g. "NC346 Formant Shift") and a keys sound (e.g. "NC 346 Delicate"). :love:

Yes....

The plan is (ultimately)...

- Akai S5/6000 (and hence Z4/8, MPC4000 and MPC5000V2 and some s/w samplers)

- EXS24

- Protools 'Structure'

- Alesis Fusion (proprietary)

See HERE

Work is going on apace with these and I have my elves working on them!

More news as I get it.

Cheers,

I just have a quick question...is this an intro price, or is this the permanent price? I probably won't be able to get it for a couple of months, and don't want to miss out at this great price!

You will not have any nasty surprises if you wish to purchase in a couple of months. The pricing is not intended to change.

Damn, i didn't see the announcement. :oops: Anyway, this went straight to the top three of my 'must buy' items, sadly not possible until first week of March.:roll:

But it sounds every bit as good as we were promised in the parallel thread.:love:

Big, slow 'not quite real' strings are my new thing, and I have a project that could use Novachord very handily...

WHoaaaaa :shock: To think I found your site by accident. Hopefully I can get this by the end of the month and maybe some of your other libraries.

Rarely do sound demos put such a big smile on my face. :D

Hopefully it goes along with my upgrade to Kontakt 4. This one could certainly benefit from a sleek "special" control interface, gotta check the docs for creating those :)

Amazing sound! I would love to see the major success of a massive group buy on this. :) Please consider it in the future. I and a friend would definitely buy into one.

How about layering the Eminent, the Novachord, the Mellotron and the VP-330 Strings/Choir (with Lexicon Reverb)? :-o
