Thanks guys!
Here's another quick demo - It's all using the current downloadable patch except at the end you'll hear a bit of a crazy improv with a molto vib FF layer that is not yet released.

Quick but beautiful. It sounds so real.
The more I hang around at KVR the less music I make.

Amazing talent and generosity. Let us know -- hell, PM me personally -- if you deciude to do anything else -- I'd pay for that quality, no question. Wish list -- a fiddle....

If you are interested in doing more Kontakt samples, consider contacting a small developer which does sweet instrumets -- Embertone. They have a freebie -- I think it's called Intimate Strings Lite -- which is wonderfully expressive like your cello

FWIW -- I bought Kontakt because I fell in love with a demo of one product (Soniccouture's Xtended Piano). I'm glad I did, as it's enabled me to get all kinds of other loveable things. Consider biting the bullet...

OK, this is just a bit of an experiment. Some of it's ok, some of it, not so nice at all so go easy!! haha - I put it together rather quickly too.
I'd share it for fun.

I should point out that most of this isn't possible with the available version.

The backing is a karaoke track I got for $2 (I found the timing hard to follow)

This is your first attempt? Wow, that's impressive. I really like the tone of this instrument.

Obviously you know your instrument and know how it should sound. The nki isn't perfect, but still i really appreciate what you've done here. Continue what you're doing; if the programming was better (don't ask me how; the legato is pretty good) and there were more articulations via keyswitches, etc this would easily beat some of the commercial libraries I have.

I already prefer the sound of it to my commcerial stuff, and like others would gladly purchase a product if you went deeper with it :)

Thanks for providing this for free, and good luck with your future sampling endeavours, be there any :tu:

Thanks for the kind words Johnny. I have a few things happening in the near future that I am quite excited about! Glad you hear you are finding use for this instrument!

This is an amazingly expressive demo. Do you intend to release the "full featured" version that you used to create it?

this is a great, expressive instrument. very playable. thanks :)

i'd like to have a round robin sample or two though, just a wink wink if you're planning to release a paid version ;)
