Thank you Frank, wow. Here's a quick promo of the included instruments:



Have to say these seem really bloodly lovely. I kept giggling with sheer delight. The pairs of instruments very well chosen and are arranged with optional arps in the combo patches, for an instant quality-documentary feel is the best way I can describe it. Lovely samples, very slick interface, loads of included patterns and you can roll your own. There's also a ton of presets which vary the sound considerably using the built in effects, envelope control etc, and of course there are single instruments for normal use.

Given the price, the cause and the quality I really am struggling (and failing) not to use the words "no brainer". Again, thanks for the heads up Frank.

is anyone else hearing glitches and pops all over the plucked piano and toy piano demos? Is that just SoundCloud? Just me?

Actually I can't find a toy piano, let alone a glitchy-demo'd one! The music box / plucked demo clean here though. Can you send a link to make sure I'm listening to the same thing?

Actually very clean sounding here too, Larry. Basically I've been through the entire range of notes on the Plucked Piano and the Music Box and both are very clean and clear sounding with no pops I could detect. So perhaps what you heard were glitches not related to the instruments themselves? Certainly the package is a very good deal and, more importantly, for a good cause as well.

Re. "Again, thanks for the heads up Frank."
You are most welcome, Guy. I just received the news from Sonuscore this morning, but apparently some people were aware of this offer yesterday.

Frank-as to "very good deal", no doubt! I'm only talking about the SoundCloud demos on their site, and yes, sorry-music box.

Are you still getting those demo glitches Larry? It does sound clean here.

Nope. It was probably either my service of maybe an overload of people listening.

Do you like the solo instruments? Do they have a few articulations? I’m gonna buy it anyway to make the donation, just curious.

I love them Larry. There's just one articulation mind, but I find it goes an awfully long way, and it definitely lends itself to arpeggiated patterns. So it may not be the right tool for a front and centre solo performance, but its fabulous at what it does.

They won’t be used every day, but they will be useful and will work well when required. Very ‘clear’ sound on all instruments, and yes, using some for arpeggiated patterns is definitely worth considering. Some can just be played with good results....e.g. I found playing a simple pattern with my left hand while adding chords or melody with the right proved effective. One thing I did notice though is that, for me, they don’t seem to respond to a sustain pedal....something I think would be useful since the natural sustain may not be long enough in some instances. I must also admit that the list price for this package seems to be a bit unrealistic, but certainly they are a real bargain at present....and more importantly it’s for a good cause.

Easily best bang for bucks of the year, so far.
Me like them arpeggio on plucked instruments.

As arpeggiated instruments and a plethora of options, extremely well done and for the price, ridiculous, however if you want to play as an instrument I have found 2 dynamics and sometimes just one just so you are aware.

Just ordered this as well as Vlm 6 - Thanks for the heads up. I saw this thread before but didn't pay it much mind until I heard Guy's cue in the other thread. Thanks Guy!
