A nice tribute to developer Guenter. I was a big fan of his plugins.
The library is very well-made, and the patch names really evoke images of strange planets. The sounds have their own atmosphere, perfect for sci-fi trailers. And once again, a beautiful GUI. All that's left is to say thank you, give it 5 stars, and enjoy another great free product from Artvera.
I had to register so I could write at least a few words. I own almost all of Artvera's products and I love them. The sounds are beautifully spatial and carefully programmed.
I also downloaded her latest product Undersea Empire and now I have another treasure in my collection. I wanted to write a review, but I saw that it had already been reviewed, so I decided to write a few nice words about the Exposure library. Although it was released some time ago, it still offers many beautiful, inspiring sounds. I'm quite surprised that no one has written a single word about this library, especially since it was released in honor of Tim Conrardy, who was one of the best sound designers and unfortunately left us quite unexpectedly at a relatively young age.
The Exposure library offers very beautiful pads and together with the included music loops, forms almost complete tracks. Although it is completely free and offers only 52 NKI files (Tim died at the age of 52), its sounds can rival even expensive Kontakt libraries.
If you haven't downloaded this treasure yet, I highly recommend doing so as soon as possible.
And finally, my big thanks to Artvera, your products bring us joy and are a benefit to the music community.

Although there are many free libraries for Kontakt, Artvera's product never disappoints. I like relaxing music, I try to create some of my own compositions, and with the Exposure and Undersea Empire libraries, inspiration comes instantly. I never get tired of sitting down at my computer in the evening and just playing the beautiful sounds from these libraries. I would just like to see more patches for Undersea Empire, although with the Random function and some minor editing I can get more nice sounds, but I'm a bit "lazy" and prefer to be surprised by another beautiful, ready-made complete sound. And as always, it's a pleasure not only for the ear, but also for the eye. The beautiful graphics are the icing on the cake. Thank you very much Artvera for another beautiful product.

What a sad occassion :-(.
And what a beautiful way to remind of one of the greatest devellopers out there who really had passed far to early....
His VST just kind of opened my way to electronic music and my mind to ambient stuff....
And Wheel of fortune maybe was the highlight of his work. I really wonder that no one followed his path till today really....
Really thanks for this, a beautiful rememberance in evryway, the sounds and instruments really give a glance and little inside of his work. And (as usual with your products :-)) a beautiful GUI.

For a VSTi dating from over 10 years ago, this still holds up wonderfully well; if you can run 32-bit plugins and have a hankering for evolving, spacey, mystical pads, Golden ASET is perfect, and still worth the $$. Both the GUI and presets show the difference in being both talented and caring about quality- I'd gladly spend money on Vera Kinter's work any time. A point off for being old and limited to 32-bit Windows. Ease of use, support, and documentation all match the level of sight and sound on offer, she is quick to respond and unfailingly helpful and polite.

ARTPyrite is not just a most fascinating software synth:- it is also a transporter that will waft you to ethereal interstellar realms through its dreamy flowing atmospheric soundscapes. There is no attempt to be an emulation synthesizer, presenting versions of the classical instruments known to us for centuries, but rather like Omnisphere, this is a synthesist's synthesizer, a VST that highlights the sonic landscapes that only synthesizers can produce.
The program offers an extensive array of sounds, with 10 soundsets, most of which have the full 128 creations. Within this generous offering you will find a diversity ranging through fluid cinematic pads and textures to gutsy pulsing impacts and rhythms, all easily editable from an extensive diversity of sound-samples, and an accessible and user-friendly interface. The artwork of the gui is also commendable, with the graphics showing another dimension to the incredible skills of the sound-designer, Vera Kinter, who some may know from their experience with the much-missed Alchemy.
Another feature which makes ARTPyrite so highly commendable is the superb and readily-offered care generously given to her customers. A sign of this is the free demo version that has been made available. In all ARTPyrite is a quite unique gift to us.

Being a computer based musician I have accumulated lots of VST instruments. It's easy to collect them when there are so many available at the click of a button. I use some for general purpose sounds and others get my attention because of certain categories of sounds that stand out to me. But creatively I'm always on the
lookout for that one VST instrument that inspires me to create and is instrumental (pun intended) in defining my sound. Art Pyrite is that instrument for me. It comes with an expansive library of sounds and presets that are suitable for any genre of music. The layout of the interface is straightforward and efficient but also very stylishly beautiful, creating an environment of inspiration to experiment and craft your own unique sound easily. This characteristic of Pyrite makes the library feel so much larger and more diverse. Pyrite excels at creating ambient soundscapes from fragile and subtle to breathing and pulsating with motion elements that keep the music evolving. The factory presets included are creative, artistic expressions that provide endless fuel for the imagination. It is obvious from the moment you start auditioning the presets that such meticulous and genuine care and ingenuity went into the making of this VST. And if you should have any inquiries, contacting Artvera will be an equally rewarding experience. Given the fact that the demo offers a very good representation of the variety of content in Pyrite and also that it doesn't ever expire, I'd highly recommend downloading it and giving it a try. It would definitely be well worth your time.
Thank you Artvera!.
