Aureus Ventus for HALion 5 released on patchpool

[Sampleconstruct]

A new demo featuring three finalized patches, one being the Glockenspiel Synth which has 3 key-switchable variations in one preset, KS 1 -> pure, KS 2 - > unison mode with detunable voices (Modwheel), KS 3 -> combined with a HALion synth module - 3 velocity layers/3x round robin. The other 2 patches are Granular Violins (multisampled/chromatically sampled violin, long bowing) and Bamboo Resonances.

This is the Musser Glockenspiel I sampled:

All patches are ready and I am now writing the PDF for this library. I'll post some more vids and demos during the next days. Whoever is on the fence about this, grab it soon if you want to save some money.

There'll be 107 patches and 3.99 GB of original samples in Aureus Ventus.

Probably the last audio demo for Aureus Ventus, four patches in this rather nice and warm pad feature:

Demonstrating several crotales patches rom this library:

[Sampleconstruct]

Microtonal bar chimes - 7 textures split across the keyboard with 3 different key-switchable modes - played with a screwdriver meet multisampled microtonal flute trills, some trills have 3x round robin, sampled chromatically over 2+ octaves, there is also a granular version of these trills used in the lower register. Rather bizarre, quite surreal...

If I don't fall of my chair before I might make it until tonight, only 30+ patch descriptions to write and patches to tag.

This library has now been released, I updated the first post in this thread accordingly. HALion rocks!

I so hate Halion's stupid convoluted system for importing sound banks though - took me ages to get it setup - it never works as per the manual or instructions, had to do it all manually.

Really nice, Simon! It's clear how much attention to detail you put into your work. And it's great to see a sound developer take advantage of the HALion platform. Congrats on this release!

For most it's a one-click procedure, on one out of 20 systems it doesn't work as it should and the Alias to the sound archive has to be created manually, unless you drop it to the default location (on Mac: User (you)/Library/Application Support/Steinberg/Content/HALion/VST Sound), then it always works.
The Steinberg devs never managed to explain it to me, why this would not work on certain systems, so I remain to be baffled when people have problems with installing my libraries.

Thank you, Ed, the flowers are much appreciated!
