I'm using this multi with a roland handsonic.
After seeing Bela Fleck live I was in severe need of a SteelD. and this seems very good. (too bad I can't remember the name of the player)

as I wrote in the other thread about those samples, if you wanna a nn-xt patch to cover Reason users, drop me a line. they're very small and you can keep'em together with the exs and sfz ones.

Waiting Man.. yeah go for it.. I have no idea what an nn-xt patch is!!.. but if you think it will be usefull then go ahead an create one and I'll upload it onto the site.. that would be very cool!..

.. And you have handsonic!!! wow.. I've been tempted by one of them (being a Djembi player).. except for the price tag... I've been hoping they'd do a Midi Controller only version.

Xoxos. Sorry mate.. can't really make it any smaller without comprimising the quality. You need to join us broadband bods..

sorry, nn-xt is reason's sampler module. the patches are just a mapping like sfz or exs, and they're small.

forget about the midi version of handsonic. you're talking of Roland

btw, I agree on the price, fortunately I got it for some less.
I also tried the steeldrum on v-drums to see if using regular sticks could add to the feeling, but it's silly and tiring, just like having a 2-meters-large steeldrum.

anyway cool set, again. I agree on the problems on hi-notes, but they give a lot of character too.

I'll send the patch soon.

Glooper, Thanks for the soundset. I've been using a soundfont from the hammersound site, and it's only "okay" after you've tampered with it. I used to own a tenor pan quite a few years ago, and left it in my flat when i moved. That's another story. But your observation about the high notes are correct. They were always a bitch to play just right, velocity, wrist movement, the right padding on the sticks, etc, without making them sounding shrill. So I certainly appreciate the labour and the effort put into this set, and it's free too! Thanks!
Ciao

Cheers again Waiting man..

gambaytheunspoke... No Problem... I hope it is of us... yeah, I'm lucky enough to know a good player who played the notes for me. for the pads, he uses a heavy duty elastic band wrapped!
