The Sound Board

I've been waiting a long time for this - finally this fabulous library is available on Apple Silicon via Engine Player.



If you look on their channel there's a lot of other short videos showcasing individual instruments eg:



It looks like a straight port, but since it was always best in class imo I'm not complaining. I am particularly enamoured with the soundscapes, fabulous for when you want to evoke a feel for the area without going full duduk or what have you.

€179 for new customers, €139 crossgrade from any other ERA product and €99 upgrade from Desert Winds.

Now that is good news, I was already annoyed a few weeks ago when I needed some of the instruments for a project and that I had to load the old Engine into Unify to get it even working in Nuendo (vst2 not supported and even when allowed, it crashes here non stop).
It's such a fantastic library.

Wow! 99 EUR for an upgrade from Desert Winds sounds like a must!

EDIT: Can't see a discount anywhere though. Not familiar with Best Service that much. Maybe I need to get in touch with customer service?

A few of these will replace my old Kontakt Anthology Spiritual Winds 2 instruments.
