Re-Introduction Sale

PACIFIC in context of other instruments. Here is a short piece that I did as a speedwrite challenge - no reverb or processing/eq (subtractive or otherwise) of any kind. Orchestral elements are pre-alpha patches from Pacific Strings, ABP-Soloists, and very pre-alpha patches from Voyage Percussion. Pacific legatos are pre take-selection and pre balancing.

Pacific - The Stars in Her Eyes (50m speedwrite - no verb/proc) - By Jasper Blunk

We wanted to share some of the progress on our Orchestral Strings by means of this impression.
As it stands, the instruments are in a very good state, which allowed the demo composers to get to work and got us comments like these:
‘I love the sound we can get out of this instrument.’
‘Inspired today by your progress on the strings, I decided to use the two violin sections in a current project - even in beta form. The tone was so compelling that I replaced tracks from using other respectable libraries. ’
‘When I experimented by combined the strings with the phrase libraries today, I was blown away. The cohesion was immediate, and magical.’
The issues the NKS team at NI found in their checks were minor and have been fixed already.
However, having had the instruments put through the wringer seriously in the beta phase, and knowing the standards we want to and have to achieve in this competitive market, where there are so many excellent products already, we decided to take a breather and avoid a rushed release.
We need a couple more months to implement all of our beta team’s findings and suggestions, some of which came in at the end of the composing phase, and turn this into the head-turner it deserves to be.
Since this sample library is one of the most complex structures we have ever created we hope you will bear with us a little longer:)
Thanks for hanging in there with us! We’re passionate about getting this right and providing you with a tool that will elevate your music and inspire you to create.' Audio only: https://soundcloud.com/sonokinetic/orchestral-strings-pre-release-cinematic-demo

Insolidus is a new-generation choral library dedicated to effortless, lyrical and expressive choral writing. It is the first to feature expressive polyphonic legato, so you can play advanced chord- and syllable progressions with a single patch.
Insolidus can be a soft, distant light of a silent snowy night. A contemporary scoring choir for epic and emotional pieces. Your gentle and sleepy sonic textures or the first pilot for any classical music composition.

These tracks was composed with samples from 8Dio Insolidus. A virtual music software instrument (VST/AU/AAX) by www.8dio.com
