VST: summer salesįirst of all, in this post I am not compiling any sort of comprehensive summer sales bargain list about different VST items. This entry was posted in Minimal, Native Instruments, Scarbee Rickenbacker Bass, Sonokinetic, VST and tagged computer music, Digital Music, Sample Libraries, VST on Decemby Jari Peltola. Hopefully there’s more of the same already in the oven. They will definitely have to shoot direct bullseye to top Minimal in more categories than the asking price.īoth the Rick and Minimal made me thankful for great sample library makers on Thanksgiving.
I did notice that Project SAM – they have never been too shy with their price tags – is also releasing orchestration tools in the coming weeks. Then again this is a common feature with many superb sample libraries: they are for some reason showcased in a manner which in fact undermines the value of the release.įinally the fact that I got Minimal 25 percent off was of course great, but I must emphasize that this library is definitely worth its retail price, if you are into orchestral work. The finished Minimal version has much more nuances than the midtempo The Dark Knight Rises mockups suggest. Do not be confused with the rather boring product demo compositions on Sonokinetic site, since they were probably made only with a partial Minimal release. As I said, do check out the videos on details, but I can tell you this: Minimal works great and sounds awesome. For anyone dealing with the same issue: try playing a chord instead of a single note.Īfter I got the hang of it, I have mainly been grinning like an idiot and trying different things out. I had to resort to support pages, and they did answer my problem, which was somewhat an embarrassing one. Normally these sort of things are a big turnoff for me – this one is an exception.Īs a matter of fact, my first experience after the installation was that there’s no audio whatsoever. I had some issues with the download, and I still have not received a receipt from my purchase. What the videos cannot fully convey is how insanely good Minimal is. There’s also an informative review about Minimal on Sound on Sound (only partially online). They are very well laid out and give you all the necessary details about the instrument specs. The Sonokinetic Minimal is an orchestral library, and if you have no prior knowledge on it, please check out the videos on the instrument site. For a detailed analysis on the Rick, please refer to this review by Sound on Sound. With discount the price is about 50 euros, which from this library is a total bargain. The instrument in question is the Rickenbacker Bass by Scarbee, consisting of some six gigabytes of samples included in an instrument with an impeccable sound and playability. Also, 8DIO has its traditional Christmas countdown on, with discount sales expected.Īs for my first Thanksgiving purchase, it was snatched from the Native Instruments 50 percent off-sale (which is actually still on). I noticed that some companies like Big Fish Audio continue to have daily sales until Christmas. I got them during the Thanksgiving sales, when lots of stuff were available with considerable discount.

Scarbee Pre-Bass is available for download purchase in the NI Online Shop for $89 / €79. Specific "Player Profiles" for various genres as well as EQ and effect controls allow musicians and producers to further customize the sound and behavior of Pre-Bass to fit the musical context. The sample material was recorded through a DI for maximum sonic flexibility, NI says, using round-wound strings for a bright and punchy sound. The four strings of the original instrument have been sampled in nine velocities, resulting in about 4,000 individual studio-grade samples.
