early example

Mmm... vibes! Out of (not so) idle curiousity, what's the upgrade path from Marimka? Considering the different name and abilities (and price) I'm guessing that it's pretty much a new product. If that's the case, I'll wait to see. Otherwise, I'll just buy Marimka now - but I don't want to have two VSTs, when one of them is the first one plus more.

Hmm... double post. I've never seen that before - I got a blank white page. Actually, I have seen that before - it was an annoying non-stage in the buying process for someone else's product.

yes, I was thinking about that yesterday,

they are two totally different synths!

Marimka is more a hybrid synth, inspired to percussions like marimbas and steeldrums, but it can't emulate a real marimba properly, it has anyway uge range of interesting percussive sounds both for electronic and acoustic music

Beams&Vibes is an advanced emulation of marimbas and vibraphones, trying to recreate the same cool acoustic timbre,
Beams&Vibes doesn't use any code from Marimka,
moreover Marimka is made with Synth Maker so it's VST Windows ony, where Beams&Vibes is written in C++ and will be available as AU and VST for Mac


thanks for asking, <grin>

I thought that might be the case, but I was confused by:

right, that is confusing, <grin>

at first I tought about about a Marimka upgrade but then I saw it differently,

anyway I will do an offer for Marimka users

Sounds very nice sir.

Looking and sounding good, liqih.

----Is there a demo for this yet ? Or is that pesky drum synth taking over all Liqih's time lately ?

Jeff

ah that lame PDS, <grin>



seriously, Beams&Vibes is much more complex internally that you could immagine and it will take a while to fine tuning all internal parameters, but then you'll have the best marimba and vibes models available today (too bold?,LOL)

----Oh, I don't know anything about the drum synth other than it's not really my cup of tea, so it's easily blamed in cases like this ha-ha.
----I dunno, Sytrus has a pretty "bold" marimba patch, but then again, your Marimka plug was no slouch in the realism dept. either. I'm looking forward to checking the Beams & Vibes one out, I was just bored and kicking tires is all.

Jeff

yes, Sytrus sounds great but it's still a multi purpose synth, (BTW isn't Sytrus GUI too small?)

Back on Beams&Vibes:

this is improved and without tremolo

no more comments on that sound?

it's just for the tone quality, since no velocity is used yet so it sounds like a clock, <grin>

i like it

Yeah, so do I!

Funny thing is, when I listened through my big Audio Pro speakers, I got some slight impression of chorus or even faint vibrato in some of the first notes. But when I listened through my Senneiser HD600 headphones, I could hear no trace of that. Room reflection interferences?

When can we hear the next example, please?
