It seems the policy behind the Zampler banks is to offer snippets of contemporary hardware synths. Which is cool and different at the same time (being able to get some of that flavours without shelling out lots of cash on the real units)... until you actually try fitting those sounds into a song - they just don't gel that well. I've been struggling a bit when making my sound demo of Zampler a few years back, and the end result was not that impressive alltogether. But maybe it's just me...Teksonik wrote: I wasn't too impressed with the Zampler sample content in either collection but that's because they tend to concentrate on synth sounds which I can make with.....my synths. The content isn't bad it's just not my cup of tea.
I'd love for someone to do a 80's-90's Rompler soundset. You know Choirs, Ahhhs, Ooohs, Shaku, Pan Flute, Orch Ensembles, etc. I'd probably pay for that....
On the other hand, the free banks are too small and restrictive soundwise. I gather the ones released with the magazine are a different story, but the freebies... bitesize fads...
Lastly: the preset manager is IMO seriously crippling this thing. Not being able to load everything in one go and just browsing through instrument categories is so tiresome and time consuming! But hey.
