Glass Roses
A glassy pluck and string sound made for the June LABS Challenge.

The story
All Sounds in this library were drawn out of the Afrorack samples provided for the June 2022 LABS Challenge.
This is my first attempt at making a sampled instrument; any feedback is very welcome.
The “Thorn” was made from a tonal strike I found while scrubbing through the samples.
The “Stem” is the wet signal from an FX chain applied to the “Thorn”, I separated them by overlaying another instance of the “Thorn” with it’s polarity reversed.
The “Glass” was made by taking a tonal section from the sample, looping and crossfading it with itself, streching it with paulstrech, and adding various FX.
Hope you enjoy, and please leave a review! – Wind

Smashing!
Amazing first sampling effort! The different tones available help to really shape the sound, and the ADSR options allow for short or long articulations in the samples. The tuning is a little bit iffy, but is more of a character of the original samples rather than an issue with this pack. Well done!
Rosey!
Love the work put into the GUI on this one, has some nice versatility too.
Great job! thanksA smart layer system!
This is a very simple patch that features 3+1 layers of sounds, with the "Glass" one acting as a main pad, while the others compliment the attack and the release in a few ways. It's a very interesting take for sure, I haven't seen that before! The inclusion of Attack and Release knobs is very welcome, and the Reverb does a very nice job on expanding the soundscape.
The overall sound is good, though mostly panned to the right channel, but that's easily adjustable via the track controls of any DAW. In terms of the design, the burgunty and black fill colours blend way too much with the semi-transparent grey, but that's nowhere close to a dealbreaker!
