17-08-05 / 00:50 : Zero G's Nostalgia : 40 years of synths (cjed) | The famous samples editor Zero G announced Nostalgia, a 1300 patchs library containing synth sounds from the past 40 years (in only 1,3 Go space). Besides most classics, we find here sounds from the D50, M1, SY85, Korg Wavestation and Prophecy, Kawai K5000, organs (B3, Farfisa), drumboxes samples (HR16, nostalgia...), synth strings, and finally special effects and atmospheric sounds. The number of instruments covered is huge and the patchs list can be downloaded. I wonder how all of these sounds can fit on so less space. I have doubt concerning the number of multisamples, and when you know how horrible sampled synth can sound (i remember the synth sounds on the Roland's Techno card)... However the two demos provided on the site deserved the library for a punchy and warm sound (notably the drums, FM bass, Vangelis analog bass from Blade Runner's theme, ... and the wonderful shakuachi used in the Ushuaïa gingle). After all Zero G pioneered in that domain and its products always had positive reviews. As usual the soft operates as a specific Kompakt virtual instrument. | | Comments | Write a comment | |
