When to expect New Sampled Instruments for MSoundFactory?

[Frankie.T]

Working on it! But you know, there's only so much dev time we have. But soon there should be strings!

Strings are cool and any real instruments are cool! (I also hope for brass in the future :p)

Any chance to have some kind of pack dedicated to current sounds of certain genre? (like edm, house, pop)

The current beta version (16.11d) has the following new instruments: Cosmosis, Cyber bear, Deep vibes, Frozen sparks, Magic dust, Mecha vox, Neon dolls, Solar flare, Sonic pulse, Sugar rush, and Twisted wave. Many(most?) of these were designed for EDM. Is that what you are looking for?

Hi, thanks for your post.

I checked all the instruments you wrote, listening to almost all the presets inside them, if technically these sounds are edm, i'd label them as experimental.

What i'm talking about is to have current sounds.

If you check Nexus expansions https://refx.com/nexus/#expansions you can clearly see sounds used in the genre by top artists. I mean just open one and you can instantly recognise the genre, they are crafted for specific sounds.

I.e. the last one is about '70s and you can find sounds used in 70s or modern projects who try to mimic that sound, this is something i don't find inside MSF.

Genre are also evolving, so they bring new versions of them, like you can see "edm 9" that is usually big room with updated sounds from edm 8, emd 7 and so on.

Same for slap house and whatever it comes relevant in the music (Drill, Techno, Drum And Bass..)

You also find instruments like guitars, even if i don't like them so much, for that real sounds i think Native Instruments is a better path to follow.

The point is. I produce X, then you open the X pack and you find sounds used by top production.

The key imo, is to hire a professional sound designer, this is what they are doing and it works.
And i think this is what Melda should do

For more experimental sounds i feel myself better with a regular synth to create them from scratch, cause till it's experimental i love to create whatever i want.

I also create current sounds when i need them, but this is painful if happens when you are producing a song. For doing so i prefer to split my sessions, creating sounds i may need when i'm not producing, and that's what i've done with my last production (that is not out yet) and i really love to build a song that way, but sometimes it's just handy to have something good and ready to use, also because you may just need a sounds that it's alredy been created, so recreating a sound it's just boring and time wasting.

I.e. in this song i made with a friend
the bass is the classic slap house bass (and that's the song genre), and recreating that bass was a huge waste of time, till the purpose is to recreate something as close as the reference and you are not creating nothing new, so already have a preset is valuable.

Nexus also comes with drums made for that genre, and this is again very useful.
