Padshop Pro fro Drones/Dark Ambience?

[Sampleconstruct]

Granular Symphonies is mostly distorted orchestral instruments. Of course it can find their place especially in a "Wonderland" world, but in general has limited usage.

Really? That reads like a strange characterization of what I did in Granular Symphonies...there are music boxes, female vocals, male overtone singing, soundscapes, field recordings, percussion instruments, electronic textures, duduk, saxophone and flute sounds - none of which relate to "orchestral" or "distorted" in any way. The only instruments related to a more classical sound genre are french horn, cello and violin.

EDIT: I am totally fine with people not liking these sounds or not finding them useful, but please don't spread wrong info on the Internet, we have too much of that already.

I agree! "Mostly distorted orchestral instruments" is a bizarre description of an incredible library. I'm guessing that EnGee must be confused with another library.

Wrong info?! It is an opinion not info or a fact. I added and highlighted it in case someone confuses it with a fact.

Where I did spread wrong info about your products or any other product?!! Your reaction is exaggerated and I assure you that I will avoid any product by you so you don't hear any negative or positive opinion from me!

Actually, I meant a positive meaning with "distorted" because it reminded me of the "distorted" clocks in "The Persistence of Memory" for Salvador Dali. I don't know why but it did, so that I said it's usage is limited (for me) because it is for a specific project in my mind.

I didn't count how many presets are cello, violin, flute or brass. So, sorry if they are little bit less than the half of the presets and I said most of them!

hi, yes the Zero G ROM is discounted if you get the upgrade and ROM - that costs £27, the ROM seperately is £30 so it's basically a third off (the upgrade being £7).

I probably won't be using the presets much - I'm thinking about what the Zero G samples will bring to the party.

The full price for me equals the discounted for you! Anyway, if you are going only to use the samples, then it is not worth it IMO. There are many free samples out there in addition in what you have from Loops ..etc. But if you are going to use the presets + the samples, then maybe it is a good addition especially there are Pads in Zero Gravity one, not only drones.

To look in the manual for information is always a wise decision

Thanks to YouTube you can evaluate the accuracy of opinion (or your agreement with an opinion anyway):

the steinberg forums seems to be a dead place..... i hope after reading the manual i can get my 2-3 presets i did in alchemy done. cannot be so hard. i dont understand the modulation in padshop, it doesnt work like it does in other synths for me somehow. this must be something plain stupid i do the whole time i dont understand.

Forums could be a thing of the past...

Propellerheads has closed theirs, Steingberg forum is dead place.

It seems communication is only going to be on Facebook/Twitter

Dude, it's all located in the Mod matrix page, mod source to destination , everything is there. Can't be more easy than that, it's super easy to assign a source to any destination.

And if you want to make an LFO unipolar, just set it's offset to +/- 50 % in the matrix - so if you want to sync a loop which has e.g. 16 beats - assign a ramp-shaped LFO to grain position, set LFO offset to 50% (so it only modulates in one direction -> forward), set LFO to sync/16 beats, use small grain sizes and only a bit of position randomization to make the loop tight.

Hello!

I bought this synth few hours ago, installed it...installed eLC, cannot run the synth because I have no license or activation code? Only mail I got is the confirmation that payment is done. Do I have to wait 24h to get it or something went wrong?

Thx
