Guilherme Carvalho’s Reviews

  • Absolutely excellent

    As so many others have said, this is a wonderful library. Amazingly expressive, gorgeous sounds all over, fantastic dynamic and timbral control... you name it. It also sits super well in a mix and goes perfectly with other libraries of Dan's (Soft Strings Spurs, for instance).

    Very highly recommend.

  • A vast hammered instrument

    Really excellent sounds in here, you get all the noisiness of a piano's insides and the very sharp toy instruments. The fact that this is actually two libraries and that the authors extended the original recorded notes to cover the whole keyboard is an added bonus.
    Given how noisy and unconventional the material is, this can be surprisingly clear for harmonic content - but also just brutal if you wish it to be.

    It's a must-have even if you use it sparingly.

  • Pristine percussions

    This library sounds really good, and one of its appeals for me is how much you can hear the mechanics and uniqueness of the sound production: the hand mutes each note differently, the hammer noises are not the same in different registers, the natural resonance of the original instrument responds to each note in its own way.
    Of course, it would be nice to have more samples per note (round robins and velocities) but this instrument can feel very much alive already.

  • Epic to hear and exciting to use

    This is probably the only collection of braaams I'll be using from now on: great sounds, immense variety within a single instrument interface, tremolo and saturation sound excellent. What an amazing project from an amazing community.

  • Top notch instrument!

    Really well sampled, gorgeous sounds all through the registers. In the DS version at least I had the choice of several patches (L or R alone or both layered, direct and mic sound, velocity triggered strums), which is really amazing to build an organic sounding result.

    Everything sounds very fluid and natural while playing or writing for it, really a gem if you're looking for kalimba / m'bira sounds.
