Confirmed.

Confirmed.

Sorry, seems to be not working...
Presets are shown, but no sample content is recognized.
Tried several times to install via their download manager.
No success...

So it seems to be working on some systems and not on others.

It seems, since both work here with no issue.
This under OS X 10.13.6.

Steinberg has two dedicated programs for installing content:
Steinberg Download Manager and
Steinberg Library Manager
I went several times through the whole predefined process
(MacOS Mojave, LogicPro)
The Zero Gravity pack is shown in Padshop 2,
but not the sample: therefore no sound...
The installed two files are at the same place as the Factory content.
It's a riddle / and there's no clue in the documentation.

It's really frustrating and a complete killer of creativity.

Thanks for the inputs.

Damn, that sounds bad. Can any Windows 10 user confirm if it works?

Maybe it's not correctly added to the library manager? Double clicking the vstsound file should open the library manager and it will ask you what you want.

It's a pity, nothing works. Another hour wasted...
I give up and ask for a refund.

Is Zero Gravity that good? Looking at it now.

I found Granular Guitars better/more useful after listening to audio demos. YMMV though. Haven't got either of them yet. Not sure whether I will, but if I do get, it will be Granular Guitars.

EDIT: Just listened to Granular Symphonies and man, that sounds great too. Kinda ignored it because of the name. Not sure how it would fit in the music, but worth looking at. Granular Guitars still wins in my opinion, though.

In Granular Symphonies (which was the first Padshop library I made for Steinberg) the focus is much broader, I sampled male overtone singing, female voice phrases and voice effects, cello, violin, various saxophones, duduk, music boxes, french horn, flutes, vibraphone and whatnot.

Granular Guitars is all about guitars, I hired a fantastic guitar player (and several Marshall amps) for the electric guitar sounds and abused various acoustic instruments myself with a plethora of tools (concert guitar with nylon strings, steel string guitar, mandolin, psaltery, oud and more).

Here is a Youtube playlist with all the 14 videos I made for Granular Guitars.

And a playlist with 5 videos I made for Granular Symphonies:

Man, I feel silly now. Somewhere in my mind I was thinking it was you only who made them, but after seeing the name mentioned on Steinberg website and searching your website to find those soundsets to buy them (which I could not find, I understand why now) I thought otherwise. Basically, can't explain exactly the thoughts in my mind right now.

Huge respect to you for creating these outstanding libraries.

Coincidentally, but unsurprisingly, I liked your libraries best.

Thank you so much for the explanation and the videos. I will be watching them tomorrow, as I need to go to bed soon, and get Granular Guitars or Granular Symphonies. Would be really happy to get it.

A quick question: I will get more "playable" stuff (for melodies, riffs, etc.) in Granular Guitars compared to Symphonies, right?

Off topic, but I hope you will be creating a preset library for Pigments 2 in future, especially focusing on pads, keys, mallets and bells sounds.
