Fairlight and Synclavier sample library for Kontakt

[TS-12]

Hi guys, happened to stroll by here.

So let me then tell you this: Our Way Beyond Synclavier 1 and 2 banks has been incorporated into Fairlight Kontakt 3. The price has been lowered from $216 to just $99 and it has more patches than ever. In fact if you want to know about that in detail, a PDF patch list is also provided / linked on the site. In short there are well over 1,500 patches and they are pretty inspiring just to play with. Uses very little ram / cpu and feeds creativity very easily.

The individual Lost In The Fairlight Maze packs are also available for just $10 each.

Here's just one of the packs playing; number 13 - "Sublime Chimes".



Here's a few more sounds used in my remix of Small Talk with Scritti Politti.



I work extremely hard with the sounds and they are not just an "80's" bank at all.

Welcome,

The post was over two years ago, and "Bitley" has changed his website since then, I believe. I know he's changed the layout in the past year; he may have changed the domain, too. You'll probably just have to do a Google search for him and his stuff. I know he's still selling patches, but even those collections have changed in some ways.

Whatever you do, don't go to laconicsounds.net--it doesn't appear to be safe.

This looks to be the new site https://bitleysounds.com/index.php/fair ... ontakt-r3/

Hi guys!

Correct - the new domain is https://bitleysounds.com

Welcome checking things out & new demos will be made as time goes - the latest work using the sounds (WBF R2 here) was the beginning of the Art Of Nice project.

“video is unavailable”

Anyways, where can I hear the demo of the drums samples of Synclavier II library ?

@Bitley's post was more than 20 months ago. But you're right, the video is gone if it was ever there -- he only mentioned Fairlight samples, and the video was for his Fairlight sample collection.

If the drum samples I sent you almost two years ago aren't what you're looking for, then you're probably looking for samples created for the Synclavier by a third-party company -- or perhaps even by the artist/producer who used them on a recording and who sampled them from an actual drum or another drum machine. The samples I sent you came from Cameron Jones himself and he was heavily involved in the development of the Synclavier.

Even the Synclavier II's Owner's Manual shows third-party drum (and other) samples loaded into a Synclavier II:

There are several snares in the original Synclavier sample libraries, and several more in the "Resynthesis" libraries. It could be that one of those has been slightly altered (for pitch, attack and decay), and had effects added to it to make the sounds you're hearing in the videos.

You've posted this same question on a couple of other forums, and no one there has been able to point you to the source either, unfortunately. It is entirely possible (as you suggested yourself) that this is not a Synclavier snare -- at least, not originally. As @anydpryce suggested back in April, this might even be an Alesis HR-16 snare. He asked if you checked into that, but you never responded.

You might want to consider coming at this from a different angle: Find out who recorded the Toni Braxton and/or Marc Anthony songs in your post and what gear they used for the drums. That may get you closer to finding where the snare came from than trying to find a specific Synclavier sample -- especially since it simply may not exist.

Good luck in your search!
