Stephen Power’s Reviews
This should be expensive!
Absolutely wonderful synth / pad instrument perfect for a project I am currently working on with a dystopian feel.
I almost feel embarrassed that I am using it for free. If there is a way to donate something for the privilege of using your wonderful instrument, please let me know. Thank you for a real gem of a find.
Spooky Sound that Needed a Lot of Gain
An open, warm, airy yet menacing, creepy sound ideal for a scene I'm working on.
I had to increase the channel gain to +12dB before I could hear the instrument and +15dB to make it playable. This is not uncommon though with some Kontakt instruments in Cubase, I find.
Thank you for the unusual free instrument.
How to Say Bodhrán
Great sample pack, and easily as good as the paid Bodhrán samples I have.
However, Bodhrán is not pronounced bo-ron (as you said in the video).
It's bow-rawn. Bow to rhyme with cow and rawn to rhyme with corn. Strech the last last syllable...bow-raawn.
Thank You Christian
Interesting rumbles that are vaguely reminiscent of the low level tinitus I get during an attack of Menieres disease.
I found I had to push up the instrument volume to 100% and the track pre gain in Cubase to 30db before I could get a volume loud enough to use.
