Ample Sound

High sound quality - al little bit scientific, not self explanatory. While all guitars from Ample Sounds have a similar concept and you will get familiar with the interface with time for quite some time it felt not like a musical instrument but more like a computer's software. Like in those times you had to feed computers with a punch card first you can't simply play the notes but have to do some extra operations to make those notes sound well. To me personally, I found it hard to play and always needed a lot of editing later on the midi. But getting the "punch card part" right you can get a very realistic sound from it. Sometimes a bunch of sampled loops may be the better solution instead of tweaking a VST instrument a whole day to make it sound right. Or, even better, you spent the time learning to play the guitar yourself or even much more better, you save time and have a good friend playing yer guitar well. So - no matter how much science this is - it is already the best of all possible solutions if it is the one you have available (see: Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz who probably can explain better what I mean).

Works great for all intents and purposes.

Not happy about the vibrato, but I play my own anyway.

Traditional Chinese flute: Ample China Dadi (Bass Dizi).

Another wonderful flute by Ample Sound and this time a bass dizi. As with the other flutes you get reach and full sounding flute plus a list of articulations and playing technics.

This is so much inspiration and actually fun virtual instrument.

There are also 4 effects: Compressor, EQ, Delay and Reverb.

This is a very inspiring VST. The overall sound quality is incredible and I can get a lot of variations from one instrument. Some of the notes seem to have a bit of a rattle or dissonance at certain velocities, and there is rare occasion where a note will stick out like a sore thumb among the rest especially in a riff or arpeggio.

I love the ambience you can create with Cloudrum, and the internal effects are brilliant. If there was a version (paid or free really) that had more drum types featured I would definitely get it.

Without doubt the best free e-bass plugin you can find.
Before I bought Modo, I always used ABPL II if a realistic sounding bass was required.

This is really a great sound guitar VST but the two very powerful features that I surprised me are the riffer and strummer.
With these you can create or even generate patterns and melodies you can use in your songs. In addition there's the guitar pro tab player which for me is really cool as I have huge collection of tabs.

There are few effects but they are the most important (Compressor, EQ, Delay and Reverb).

Love both the Dongxiao and Qudi flutes and especially for the natural sound and playability.

The articulations and ornaments are adding so much and it's easy to get inspired.
