Vintage Digitals Sound Library

Post by Gustavo »

Saw this over at Synthtopia, thought some of you may be interested.
Here’s a preview of the Nord Wave – Vintage Digitals Vol1, by Don Solaris.

Here’s what he has to say about the sound library:

Instead of going for the factory presets of various machines and sampling those, we went one step further. We went for the original ROM waveforms. And more importantly, their original loop points. The goal was high – to ensure 100% authentic sound. No cross-fade looping techniques here, everyone can do that nowadays and did we mention it totally kills the soul of the sample (due to the x-fade process itself).

Hence we used totally different approach and you bet these loops in here required a lot of screwdriver work to match original factory loop points. But the result is 1:1 original playback where you can no longer distinguish a copy from the source.

This Nord Wave library is 99 multisamples made from the following machines:

Roland U-20
Roland JD-990
Roland JV-1080
Yamaha SY-22
Yamaha SY-85
Yamaha TX16W
Ensoniq SQ-1
Kawai K-1 rII

The soundset really is "sold out" sadly :-( Is there anybody, who bought it and maybe wants to sell?

Sold out is probably just another way of saying they do not want to sell it anymore, maybe because of the hassle of hosting the data or due to payments. Maybe if you contact Don Solaris directly you could arrange something with him.

Yes, but how can we contact him? There's no "contact" form of any kind on his website...

I wonder if some company kicked a fuss about their instrument presets being resampled and then sold.
Here is an interesting chat about this starting at about 31:15.
