There's some new news on the Wavelore front!
First off, the long-awaited version 2.5 update to the Kontakt edition of the Wavelore Pedal Steel Guitar is now available! If you are a Pedal Steel Guitar owner, you can upgrade for free by sending a request to support@wavelore.com . New customers will automatically recieve this version - no need to upgrade later.
Note: If you send your request from an e-mail address other than the one you used to make your original purchase, it will help us confirm your ownership if you include either the address originally used, or the transaction ID that was sent to you by PayPal as part of your order confirmation.
The new update contains a couple of important bugfixes, as well as several great new features like keyswitchable neck positions, amp tremolo, automatic neck position selection, and traditional sustain pedal implementation. Read all about it here.
Also noteworthy (for users who stuggle with the instrument's unconventional design, or folks who are afraid to invest in the instrument due to it's complexity) is the all-new 70-page manual featuring over twenty video/performance demonstrations and seventy-five color-coded keyboard diagrams representing the per-string ranges of each string in all twenty five positions. You can read the manual and view the video examples and diagrams here.
Those of you who are still on the fence over whether or not to purchase a Wavelore product may benefit from the next two pieces of news:
We've seen a lot of folks hankering to read reviews of the Pedal Steel Guitar in order to hear an un-biased opinion of it's quality. We are proud to report that Sound on Sound Magazine has given the Wavelore Pedal Steel Guitar 5 Stars in their December issue review! We're not allowed to reprint the entire review, but here's a snippet:
"The library includes plenty of MIDI expression options....Wavelore deserve their five stars, both for daring to be different, and for the careful thought that has gone into the construction."
