Grosso is the best instrument we have produced to date. Period.

With Grosso, Sonokinetic BV is changing the paradigm for orchestral phrase-based instruments… again! Before our Minimal library, the level of control, whilst retaining the authentic sound that live recordings bring to the party, was unheard of. We have gotten so much positive feedback on Minimal that a ‘sequel’ was unavoidable. Mere sequels is not what we do though at Sonokinetic, so if you look at what Grosso brings to the table, you will see an evolved entity that is a homo-sapiens to Minimal’s homo-erectus. 
We have conceived this instrument from the ground up, using parts of the Minimal engine and reimagining many other things to accommodate for the added flexibility Grosso brings to the table. The main difference, apart from the obviously upbeat nature of the recorded material and the addition of a choir part and a taiko and non-melodic percussion section, is that we split out the orchestral sections into more parts. Strings and choir are split in low - mid - high, woodwinds and brass into low and high, percussion into taiko and more traditional orchestral percussion. All of these elements have been carefully composed to work well with all of the others, resulting in millions of possible combinations of sounds.
The nature and sheer amount of this raw material, and the added flexibility we needed to offer to you in an intuitive way, led us to a completely new interface style, and it made us split up the instrument into different Kontakt .nki’s. Don’t worry though, we have laid out the keyswitches in a way that still makes it possible to play this instrument ‘Minimal-style’ with the whole orchestra on one midi channel.
Grosso is a 12/8 feel library, and we have configured the engine to work in both 4/4 and 12/8 time signatures within your DAW. Though the instrument was conceived with trailer and action styles in mind, the finished product is capable of so much more, limited only by your imagination.
Check out our demo section to hear some of the compositions made by the incredibly talented composers in our beta team, inspired by Grosso. In fact, much of the early feedback we got from these guys included the word ‘inspirational’ as much as the word ‘exceptional’. If there’s ever an instrument that can help you get out of a funk when you need it most, it’s this one. We have even included a randomiser button to provide you with different pattern combinations at the click of a button.
To top off the collection we have added a ‘transition builder’ instrument that is aimed at gluing parts together, and building up towards climaxes. It includes brass and woodwind crescendo chords, and recognises different chord types, like diminished, augmented and dominant 7th. Chords are constructed on the spot from a collection of recorded intervals. This builder instrument also contains percussion and taiko fills, and a fully playable multisampled taiko ensemble patch, both as an ensemble and individual drums. Please look at the video to see its capabilities in action.

We, at Sonokinetic BV, are very proud to introduce GROSSO to you, and can’t wait to hear the amazing things you, our valued customer base, will produce with it.

Sonokinetic has established a name as one of the best value & quality sample producers and with this product we’d like to underline that statement. We stick with our unbeatable pricing module and high quality sampling.

We wish you the best inspiration and creativity

Official demos for Soundiron's Granada 49, a vintage analog synthesizer library.Available for the full version of Kontakt 5.5.2 and later, at https://soundiron.com/products/granada-49

Soundiron's Granada 49 is a vintage 49-key analog synth from the 1970s. This early portable synthesizer was originally manufactured by a now defunct Italian organ maker Fesma. Rare and highly sought-after, little is known about the origins of this instrument, though the instrument's classic wooden exterior echoes the popular aesthetics of the 1970s, during which time the instrument is thought to be produced. We’ve captured it’s old-school fat, creamy tone in 9 classic waveform shapes, with infinite sustains and tight staccatos. But to take this far beyond an ordinary analog synth sample library, we’ve pacjed the GUI with tons of deep control features and created 20 awesome sound-designed custom synth and effects presets and 40 unique sound-designed  ambiences that can  be played chromatically as atmospheric synths, dronescapes and pads or used directly in your DAW for underscoring and texture.

Reference & Inspirational Track: Brian Eno - Lanzarote

100% RYM2612 generated sounds. EDIT: Not 100%. I play some acoustic guitar. 

Once I caught on to how cool the CSM Mode was for making formants and basic voice synthesis, it's like I discovered the most amazing item ever found in any dungeon of any video game.

I started fluctuating the Retrig Rate to manually control the pitch so I could use it melodically. I went bonkers with it in One Giant nanoStep.

I'm pleased with how the cymbals sound. I spent more time on this one making rides, crashes, and hats more expressive and dynamic.

All sounds generated by RYM2612, except my try at cello playing in the beginning of the song, blended in subtly.  Otherwise, all other sounds and percussion are RYM2612. I loved the horn and trumpet sounds this synth can make.

The "ooh yeah" in nanoBot Racers is the RYM2612 saying it! Not me! It was an accident that it started sounding like voice synthesis, so I tweaked as best I could to make it sound realistic.

The "voice" are run through Numerical Sound ReStereo. Some of the engine sounds are filtered through Numercial Sound Tone Mutation Vocals, using programs like panther, lion, alligator and whale to add and organic resonance.

I also used DLD Technology Revolution Virtual Surround for some of the racer flybys, used especially for the ending.

The growling and catlike sounds are filtered through Numercial Sound Tone Mutation Vocals, using programs like panther, lion, alligator and whale to add an organic resonance.

All RYM2612 generated sounds,  except where I briefly play a few long sustained notes on flute. I challenged myself to not use any sampled cymbals at all, so I spent some time on making them more realistic. I ran a lot of the cymbal patches through The Echo using wobble and diffusion to make them less static. I also then used Numerical Sound ReStereo a lot to add some distance from the ear and again to take the edge off.

Inspiration & Reference Tracks:     Phantasy Star 3 - Battle Begin

CORRECTION: 
100% RYM2612 generated drums and percussion. 

Everything is RYM2612, except where I play electric guitar, 

I mistakenly thought I had samples blended in, is because during song writing and mixing, I used sampled Genesis game kicks and snares to refer to, and gradually removed and replaced them with the closest approximation I could make out of the synth. All cymbals and hats are RYM2612.

I used McDSP FRG eq and compressor a lot, as well as Scream, Pulveriser to shape the kicks and snares.

I need to confirm (by digging into original un-bounced songfile), but I think all sounds and drums, including hats and cymbals are RYM2612. I'm unsure because during writing, I might have used a sampled drum as a reference for making a snare or kick on the RYM2612.

I like the flute/recorder and tuba/tenor horns this chip can make!

One of two entries I originally made for the RYM2612 Song Challenge. I tried to tidy up the mix, and make some additions for including in this album.

Inspiration for this song comes from something, but I can't remember what. If anyone recognizes melodic similarity with anything specific, please let me know.

All sounds are RYM2612, except some drums and cymbals from the Reason sound bank. This is the only time I used sampled cymbals of any kind on the album.
