Disillusioned? No. I try and concentrate on the good people who support the scene,
the f**ktards are always gonna think it's cool to steal stuff and get away with it.
You could almost take it as a compliment I suppose, if it wasn't for the fact that the scum just take whatever they can indiscriminately, I don't think they really care what they lift, they just do it.
The fact that they are torrenting something that was free anyway is, as you say, lame, and just reinforces my point.
Anyway, I've got some of your sets for Alchemy, Kontakt, Spectral and Tremor and I will always happily pay for anything I find useful and inspirational.
Keep 'em coming!

- the psychology behind that disease seems complex, is it some sort of sport? Is it some sort of Robin-Hood-mentality? Or sheer unaware anti-socialness? Maybe the mentality of many humans is just to take what they can wether it's legal or not. Ahh, f*** it, let's just move on and make some more music and more sounds.

Thank's man, no - it's not killing my spirit, it just stirs a bit of anger and bad feelings, but only temporary.

There is a new Kontakt instrument available on patchpool, a multisampled framedrum taken from my library Framedrum for Alchemy:

Kontakt 4 (and higher) Framedrum - 42.2 MB unzipped - 48Khz / 24Bit / stereo - 1nki / Instrument 144 samples compressed using Kontakt 4's ncw format (91 MB uncompressed)  - 1 Impulse Response
Price: € 8 EUR
Note: customers owning a license for my sound library Framedrum for Alchemy can get this library at a 70% discount. There is a dedicated paypal button on the product page.

This multisampled framedrum instrument contains 144 framedrum samples from my Alchemy library Framedrum for Alchemy. Five articulations were sampled at 4 velocity layers and 8 alternations per sample (round robin) in 48 Khz/24 Bit using 3 Neumann microphones (L-C-R), a U87 for the centre and a stereo set of KM-184 for the sides.

Instrument
Framedrum Articulations Split 4vel 8RR

5 articulations in one patch - 4 velocity layers and 8 alternations each (round robin), set to pitch tracking so you can play the drums chromatically:

This has been on my todo list for ages, so today I kicked myself and released a first SoundPack in the new SoundPack-category Industrial, isolating samples from over ten hours of field recordings I did in that factory to collect sounds for a documentary soundtrack:

SoundPack Car Factory
68 wav files - 1.57 GB - 48 Khz/24 Bit

*68 samples recorded in a russian car factory comprising sounds of car assembly, paint shop and factory drones, *The files are up to 3+ minutes long.
*Recorded with 2 Sennheiser MKH-70 mounted on a boom and a Tascam HD-P2 recorder. High quality samples for post production and sound design.
*Price: € 25 EUR

For those who don't come across the Soundware forum much or ever, here is the announcement for my latest sample library Ambient Strings for MachFive 3 which was released on Friday:

Ambient Strings focusses on atmospheric sounds and textures derived from string instruments like cello, violin (electric and acoustic), electric and acoustic guitars, psaltery (ebowed, plucked and bowed) and oud. The patches combine textural sounds, multisampled acoustic instruments and more exotic instrument articulations with electronic textures all derived from the dry instrument samples to create wonderful, ethereal, dark and mysterious sound worlds. Expressive multisampled instruments, temposynced instrument sequences and morphable soloistic phrases are also included in this library.

16 patches patches/instruments have scripted interfaces for extended sound manipulation, a snapshot system especially developed for this library allows the user to save and recall 5 snapshots, or recall the 5 snapshots programmed into the patches by default. So on top of the 75 patches this library ships with another 64 snapshot variations.

All non-scripted patches have the Modwheel and the 8 Macros assigned in the info tab, quite a few also use Aftertouch. Many patches integrate the wealth of MachFive's sound generators and combine them with granular and normal sampling. In many patches temposynced modulators are used to animate the amplitudes and filters of the involved samples and sound generators, often keyswitchable sound combinations or different articulations are available within one patch.  All patches which have several different sounds split across the keyboard (often over a range of six octaves or more) use key-colouring in MachFive's keyboard which makes it easier to navigate through the various split sounds.

All acoustic instrument-samples in this library are recorded in a dry studio environment with top notch Neumann microphones in L-C-R at 48 Khz/24 Bit. All microphone signals are phase-aligned which enhances the stereo field and the transparency of the recorded samples.

The Snapshot system
The snapshot system especially developed for this library allows the user to save and recall 5 snapshots, or recall the 5 snapshots hard-coded into the patches by clicking on the "Reset" buttons at the bottom of the snapshot interface. To access the snapshots just click on the "Snapshots" button at the top right of the interface.

You can view/download the PDF for this library with more details, the licence agreement, and the patchlist including descrtptions and playing tips here.

Scripting by Iain Morland.

Content:

*3.35 GB of original samples (wavs/stereo/48 Khz/24 Bit), 6 impulse responses, 4 single cycles  - a small fraction of samples was borrowed from other patchpool libraries.
* 75 patches (including 3 low CPU variations) plus 64 snapshot variations inside the scripted patches, combining all synthesis forms available in MachFive 3.

Sampled Instruments:

*Cello
*Violin (acoustic and electric)
*Acoustic Guitar (classical - nylon / western - steel)
*Electric Guitar (amped and DI-box)
*Psaltery

Instrument categories:

*Acoustic Guitar (7)
*Cello (20 + 2 low CPU variations)
*Electric Guitar (7)
*Electronic Scapes (8)
*Hybrid Strings (10)
*Psaltery (11)
*Violin (10 + 1 low CPU variation)

More specs:

*3.35 GB of samples (wavs/stereo/48 Khz/24 Bit)
*75 patches (including 3 low CPU variations) plus 64 snapshot variations inside the scripted patches, combining all synthesis forms available in MachFive.
*Delivery: download - RAR-archive in 4 parts for better download handling
*Price (paypal): € 68 EUR

Please note: this library requires the full version of MachFive 3 (version 3.2 and higher), it will not work with the UVI workstation.

Product page.

All demos were produced entirely with MachFive 3 using only patches from Ambient Strings, no post-processing was applied apart from a limiter on the outputs and some volume automation, if several instances of MachFive were used in a track.

Just a heads up, as the announcement for my next HALion 5 library Aureus Ventus is located in the Soundware forum, although it's actually a library based on 4 Gigabytes of original samples. This library is still available for the discounted pre-order price, ETA is scheduled around May 30th, and I'm almost done with the patch programming.

Check it out here.
