Luftrum 13, Zebra audio demo contest $100 prize.

[Luftrum]

Here are the first two demo's: One by myself in a preset-per-preset style, demoing 23 patches in 8 minutes and the other demo is by the mighty Ned Bouhalassa in a fast sort of hybrid Royksopp style. The remaining demo's will be added this playlist, with prior permission by their rightful copyright owner of course.

Luftrum,
I was impressed by both audio demos. I do have a birthday coming up next month, so I might end up with "13" before long. Do I understand it is 95% complete and not quite ready for sale? I sent you a private message.

HI Luftrum,

I'm interested. Last time I did something similar was in a contest for Zebra2 Oldskool soundset by Michael Kastrup.

I ended up 2nd place.

You can listen to something recent about my musical project from the reverbnation link in my signature.
Zebra is used a lot here, and I have latest stable 2.7.

Thanks,
Mario

Cool Mario but I already got the handful of demo writers I needed, thanks though. I am still awaiting a few demo's in, they should be ready within the week.

Thanks for the PM! It's 96% finished now, well... the soundset itself is complete and all presets are good! Now I am preparing for launch, setting up product page, writing newsletter, preparing YouTube audio vid, testing for typos etc. and that takes a few days and I still need some audio demo's in - but hopefully it will be ready for launch within the coming weekend, or start next week!

I hope it's OK to post this... before the official release... but this set is loaded with usable patches. A boatload of great Arpeggios, Pads, Synth patches and fantastic smatterings of Bass, Keyboards, Sequences, etc... 115 usable sounds. There have been a few times over the years, when I got stuck trying to go through patches of a library, trying to index them, and make notes for how I could use them. Not for technical reasons, but because patches were so evolving... and inspiring. Luftrum 13 did it to me. As a fan of Luftrum's Diva collections, it wasn't a huge surprise. Anyway - this goes right into my "Must buy" list for Zebra sound sets. Two thumbs up.

Thanks Joe. I appreciate you took your time to write this, means a lot... and most important: I am glad you enjoy the presets!

I got most of the demo's in by now, below is the playlist so far and I am overwhelmed to hear so many different flavours and takes on the soundset.

I agree..... awesome patches! It´s really magic!
Thank´s @Luftrum for such a beautiful piece of art. I could write track after track with this bank. Very inspiring!

Very kind of you Cinebient, thanks...

I have found the winner of the audio demo contest. It was very difficult to choose because all involved deserve the prize, you all made an equal effort to write an outstanding demo and got the most out of the soundbank and the demo's showcase the soundset greatly in different styles and I have spent countless of hours listening to them all again and again.

Instead of a random draw I have chosen my favourite demo to win the prize: Fluent Thru Merit by Doc Jon. Fluent Thru Merit is actually an anagram of Luftrum Thirteen according to Jon and being a huge Vangelis fan, Doc's demo goes straight to my heart - with an outstanding and clearly defined intro, verse with a break and ending in a fastpaced outtro. It also demonstrate lots of lots of the patches included in the soundbank.

I will contact Jon for the details.

Congrats to Jon, very well deserved! A stunning demo made by a great musician.

Nice one Jon. It was an excellent track, and really showcased the patches from Luftrum 13 very well.

[Doc Jon]

Thank you everyone for your kind comments, I enjoyed all of your tracks
Big thanks to Luftrum too!

I have Luftrum 13 now (and all the other Luftrum U-he soundsets) and it is all quality. The demos and Luftrum's reputation really sold me on this one. Go find whatever change you have under the couch cushions and buy this today (or whenever it gets a public release).

Favorite patch: PAD Aproria Cinema (makes my brain melt away)

[Cinebient]

Not sure if i supposed to post it here but why not.... i like this patch bank a lot and it´s quality. My favourite patch is (as you can hear in this little track) "Timbre Twinkles" and layered this to death here
This is 100% Luftrum 13. No external FX etc. Just a limiter in the output. Maybe not so good as the other tracks here but here it is...
