Official Sound-Design Relief Effort for South Asia Thread.

[TotcProductions]

We received some new presets but we need more. [...] So come on, everyone reading this, make one preset tonight.

I read over and over your postings... ups... 11 times... seems I have to send in 11 presets.

Just an idea from me, maybe it is helpfull boosting the sales:

What about a song competition here at KvR? Condition:

All sounds/effects used must be taken from Vol.1 and Vol.2. Slight adjustments may be allowed, as e.g. making the release of a sound longer, or setting the delay time according to the song tempo.

I would donate an AnaMark license for the winner. Maybe other developers will donate a license too.

That's a great idea. and thank you for your kind offer! ; ) I'll be in contact with you after we release volume 2 and we'll get something going. ; )

peace!

That's a great idea. and thank you for your kind offer! ; ) I'll be in contact with you after we release volume 2 and we'll get something going. ; )

To allow people taking part in the competition, two conditions have to be fullfilled:

- They must be able to use the presets of the collections
- The prices must be interesting

To use the AnaMark-presets, they need an AnaMark-license; So an AnaMark-license as price is... mmh... I think, you got the point.

So it is important to give people not owning an AnaMark-license the possibility to use the AnaMark-presets in the collection.

Maybe I can shrink down the AnaMark-engine so that it can be bundled with the preset-collection. This "AnaMark FTV Vol. 2" (FTV = For Tsunami Victims) will not allow changing presets (it does not provide parameters), no saving, no loading. It has the Tsunami-presets built-in in a fixed way. But it gives _all_ people who buy the collection the possibility to use the AnaMark-presets.

...something like that... I'll know more at the end of next week.

WoW that would be fantastic! I really appreciate it mark!

[TotcProductions]

Ok folks...we NEED more patches!!! Especially AnamarkII patches if anybody's got it. Remember, even 1 preset is acceptable.....anything you can offer...we've gotta get volume 2 bulked up a bit more.

Thanx

peace!

I have not visited the forum in a while as I was way too busy with other things. I really love this idea.

I'm halfway done with the 4th Kubik bank and I've got some stuff ready for VAZ Plus. Would've been done sooner, but now that Jon's got Kubik 2 stable, it's nose back to the grindstone here.

Beeeeaaaautiful! Can't wait to hear them. ; )

You've got some time still. at least a week so we can build up volume 2 some more. I really wanna be able to cover at least another (even if the same) 50 instruemnts/FX we got last time with volume 1.

Volume 1 is still selling too by the way...slowly...but still goin strong...it's raised just under another hundred dollars so far. 98 US I think. If volume 2 sells as strongly as volume 1 did at first, we'll have at least 400 dollars to give to Oxfam's efforts in south asia...which is the next group benefiting from this.

If, after volume 2 is out, everyone would like to see a volume 3, we'll do one more. Either way, volume's 1 and 2 will be up for sale for a long while and, if there isn't enough interest in a 3rd volume....I'm gonna talk to a dev friend of mind about maybe coding a vst effect for it if a volume 3 would be well accepted. Anyway, lets get volume 2 out there first. lol
keep'em comin folks. ok, i gotta go finish my workout for the night and get some gatorade or something...i'm dying of thirst here.

Peace!

Ok folks...we NEED more patches!!! Especially AnamarkII patches if anybody's got it.

I did another 14 AnaMark-presets yesterday (so there are at least 11+14 = 25 at the moment), and in the next days I may do some more. Don't know, whether I manage to create a complete bank; but 32 presets (a half bank) should be possible till the end of this week.

'Coz many people prefer presets which come without internal effects, the AnaMark Preset Player will provide each preset twice: Once with internal effects, and once in a dry version (without internal effects). I think, the easiest way for doing this is:

Preset 0-63: Presets with internal effects
Presets 64-127: Same as 0-63, but dry (without internal effects)

So a simple MIDI Prog-Change can be used to switch FX on/off. Comments welcome.

Gorgeous idea. ; )

Hey kiddies, this is a big update for you all. Everyone who purchased volume 1 (and anyone who purchases it in the future) can now return to the download location mentioned in your delivery emails and download the new Anamark Pro Preset Player vsti absotlutely free!!!

Now, it is only a player...meaning, while it has everything that Anamark Pro has...lol, you can't access any of the parameters. Why? coz it's a player! Anyway, it comes with all the Anamark Pro Presets that were submitted to volume 1 built in!!! So now everyone can use them, regardless if you own an anamark pro or not!!! Exciting right? of course it is dammnit!

A HUGE Thank you to Mark Henning over at Anamark for providing us with this instrument for free distribution to all those that have taken up our cause. He's been very kind.

Also, we there will be another player for volume 2 as well....same vsti, but with different presets built in....so, if you want to see your anamark presets in the player, PLEASE send'em over to either

1. info@lesproductionszvon.com
2. tsunamireliefeffort@totcproductions.com

Oh, and if anyone has lost their delivery email, please email me using the address you bought the set with and i'll set you up.

enjoy guys....and if you still haven't bought volume 1, here's your incentive.

Hey, very cool. Thanks a lot Mark, very nice. Some interesting sounds. I think my favorites so far are Weird Choir, Strange Circus, and Acid LFO.

[zvon]

Website and list of what we have so far for Volume 2 updated.

Design a preset tonight and send it for Volume 2

[TotcProductions]

Ok folks, we've made another donation!!!

After the initial donation to Unicef, we've received a few more purchases of volume 1.....so, we donated all the money from that..117 US Dollars...to OXFAM (The Austrailia branch becuase they were still accepting donations for tsunami efforts).

So, that brings the total amount of money raised and donated to $417.00 US! Thanx so much to everyone that has purchased volume 1! It is still available, and will be for some time and it now has been updated to include the Anamark Pro Player Vsti....so if you haven't had the chance to pick it up yet and would like to, please do so HERE

Now, we REALLY NEED presets for volume 2!!! So PLEASE, even if its only 1 preset, send your work to either:

info@lesproductionszvon.com
OR
tsunamireliefeffort@totcproductions.com

Your submissions are greatly appreciated.

ALSO----There will be a competition after volume 2 is released that will involve making audio tracks using nothing but the presets from volume 1 and/or 2.
I am currently working on collecting prizes....So far we've got 1 fully licensed copy of the AnaMark Pro Vsti to give away to a lucky winner! If ANY developers/companies would like to donate a license to one of there products to this competition as a prize, please contact me personally via PM on this forum or by emailing me using the address I posted above.

Thank you all again, and please, we're depending on your continued support!

peace!

Ok people.....me again with a some news for you.

First order of business.....In 2 weeks from tomorrow (Saturday march 12th) we will be Tsunami Sounds Volume 2. WE COULD STILL USE PATCHES FOR IT!!! SO PLEASE SEND THEM AGAIN!!! YOU"VE GOT 2 WEEKS!!!
it will cost $9.95 (in US Currency)and the exact content is still unknow, as we are still collecting and making sounds for it.

Now, Although we are very thankful to ALL that have participated in any way, shape, or form to this effort...There hasn't really been much interest in it lately....this is understandable, being that the tsunami hit a while ago now, so most people have turned their attention to other matters....This is expected, however, there is still alot of work to be done in the region..and it is going to cost alot of money....so we're going to be pulling out all the stops this time around and hoping to get as much money for them as possible.....in order to do this, we need (A) Presets to sell in the bundle and (B) People to spend the measly 9.95 to buy them. So, to make this a little more inviting for everyones eyes, ears, and wallets, we'll be having a series of competitions/drawings that will give anyone who contributes in some way a chance to win some really nice prizes!!!! That's right, for being a cool person, you get a chance to win some cool free stuff!!! Now, i'm still working on the details of the First competition, but i can tell you all right now that it will be open to anyone that sends us patches for volume 2. I will post another thread soon detailing the competition, it's rules, terms, and of prizes. Keep your eyes open.

So far we have raised exactly 417.00 USD for the relief effort......while that's fantastic, i think we can do much better than that.

Thanx again for all your support and watch closely for the first competition.

peace!

Hi everyone,

We did receive a good amount of patches and I had told ToTc that I would update the Official page today. But sadly , I did not do it. But I will do it this week, I promise.

Keep on sending those patches. And thanks to everyone.
