Sid’s Reviews
Nice!
I really never expected this to sound so beautiful. Right out of the box the DS version sounds like a Sci-Fi choir. Really nice! You will need 1.5.24 version of DS or later for some of the features.
Nice Sounding Kit
Works for the Garage rock, Indie, Shoegaze stuff I'm writing at the moment. As is often the case, the mapping doesn't match any of the other kits I have, so I may eventually dig in to remap it.
Sound's great!
The samples sound perfect. Dry drum samples are perfect since you can add whatever reverb you need to place the kit in the same room with the rest of the band. Since making the switch to DecentSampler, I'm a little spoiled about having a beautiful interface, but SFZ gets the job done. With a well written midi file, no-one will suspect it was samples and not a live drummer.
Creative Use of Decent Sampler
I think most of us Pianobook users think of Decent Sampler as a light weight sample player. This instrument really shows how much functionality is built in for those with tenacity and creativity. Very useful both for the sounds and for the underlying code to study. Especially for anyone who feels they must turn to Kontakt to realize their vision. By the way, the instruction manual above is a must read.
Interesting Sounds
A shame that a DS version of Wooden Harpa wasn't created. Frankly, the periodic thumping was not valuable enough to forgo making a DS version (if you want that, any ducking VST could be used. I found that to be the least interesting part.
