Legendary Collection offers 240 new instruments for NI FM8 VSTI

"It combines two libraries in a single package : "Beyond Reality" and "FM Legends"

The "Beyond reality" part covers replicas of real instruments ( Classical, electrical, ethnic ), while the "FM Legends" part takes to new hights all the classical FM sounds ( Rhodes, EPs, Clavinets, Bells, Organs, etc )

On both soundsets, Nori used his incredible FM synthesis mastering skills to offer to the composer or songwriter very expressive and fully detailed instruments........

....... More : With the Legendary Collection, you'll also get our FM8 Bonus Bank Soundset, wich contains around 60 additional exclusive instruments, created during the first Sound Designer VS contest/game, by FM specialists Nori and Lotuzia ....... "

Audio Demos : Only a limiter was added on a snare in the multi instruments demos ( Drums are FM8 too ) No added Eqs, No comps, no nothing.

Here are two long demos of the Bonus Bank : With the bonus bank, LC includes around 300 instruments.

Bonus Bank by Nori

Bonus Bank by LtZ

How was created the Bonus Bank ? Like a kind of Dj VS battle thing.

I created variations of some presets of Nori's LC, and Nori did the same by tweaking some presets of my Gloss Spells soundbank. These are not only variations though, but real new instruments : The kind of Jazzy reed/brass you can hear in my demo, was inspired by one of Nori's ...... electric bass presets !

Some amazing sounds here!

Thanks Evil Dragon.

FM power Unsamplable, and ...... unscriptable !!

There are a lot of people who want some vintage instruments, but they often think only "Analog". In the old days it was not unusual to layer FM and analog synths, or wavetable/FM aso.

Often I hear people mentioning the bass of a famous track and wondering if its a Moog or something like that , but no : its just FM

With the additonal FM8 features, Nori did -imho- a fantastic job in giving modern colors to FM classics. Now the instruments are much more easy to mix : Just add a compressor here, change the reverb there, and here you go you have that instant 80s/90s vibe.

Btw there's a nice intro price ( 19€ including taxes for ECC, around 25$ for non ECC users )

FM8 Power to the People!

Definitely

There are also some extraordinay Organs, Rhodes, clavinets and keys in this collection, + some truly cinematic huge keys. I'm sure people would be amazed if it was just presented as one pricey Kontakt thing, but its only 0.5% of all the instrusments you'll get.

hi lotuzia, what FM8 preset format is provided with the legendary collection bank (the new or old FM8 format or both)?
thanks and cheers

Hi Gosh,

Thanks for asking

The Legendary collection is provided in the original .ksd format wich ensures total compatibily with all the FM8 versions : With all versions prior 1.2 and with Kore2, just use the KSD format. Then for the 1.2 version and the Maschine new Format, all you have to do is to use the convert/import function of the FM8 (in the file menu) and FM8 will convert all the patches and take care of everything.

All install process are detailed in the manual.

You'll also find some other eventually usefull things in the manual :

List of all patches and a quick tutorial to learn how to browse only LC patches for example

I also included some tuto about advanced mixing techniques in the FM8 for those who want to psuh things a bit when it comes to mix.

And a table where you can see how to tune FM ops to make "easy chordal" works, or easy "housy" stabs aso ( thisd has never been detailed before afaik)

Well some little details wich can eventually make the musical life of our users more confortable and joyfull : We try not to sell only "presets", we offer .... instruments

Thanks for listening

Bump.

Note :Legendary Collection is compatible with ALL FM8 versions, including the Komplete8-V1.2-Maschine formats.

These sounds are great, now I just have to get FM8... about time for me =) hope there is a sale on it one of these days

One of the most glorious synth sounds I ever heard was when our manager at a little music store I worked in (Hello Rondo Music!) took a rack of 8 TX816s all tied together controlled and layered with a Juno 106 all programmed to some crazy string sound.

Exactly FM adds richness, fantasy and precision to an analog very solid body : Best of both worlds. I use it very often myself

Thanks Examigan,

Yes an FM synth is always welcomed in a sonic arsenal, and FM8 is certainly not a bad choice

It shows rather often in the marketplace, for example when people finally take the Komplete road. I wish you the best luck to find one !

I forgot to say that the Bonus Bank will also be available for our other FM8 Soundbank Gloss Spells , wich means that Gloss Spells will now include around 320 new instruments.

Btw all the users who have purchased Gloss Spells in the past and NOT Legendary Collection can drop me a mail with their order number, and I'll send them the Bonus Bank for free.
