In reply to MRG. Thanks, great sound. Unfortunately, I am switching to 64 bit VSTs.

I am annoyed at the new sample packs Computer Music include, as the multisamples don’t contain multisamples patches in for example SFZ that are readily useable in any of the free SFZ players that are about.
Everybody is talking about making music quicker and how to do that, but Computer Music expect me to spend time mapping their multisamples?
I wish they would learn a lesson from Beat Zampler how to deliver useable sample packs.

In reply to Tomislav Zlatic. Oh, it is a re-release. I guess as it is a computer music giveaway, I should have expected that ;-) They seldom come up with exclusive giveaways these days, and more than often repack their old sample packs as new giveaways, like was the case in last issue CM294.

Yeah – and they ended up open sourcing them and now Surge is my favorite VST. The sounds in it don’t sound like any other VST.

I emailed Ocean Swift about open sourcing all their software to the GPT v3 license – they haven’t replied, but I hope they’ll consider it considering how interesting and awesome their products are!

A big thanks to Ocean Swift for setting the stuff free. I wish more devs would do like Ocean Swift, and set their VST free, when their are abandoned at not updated anymore. Even if you have bought a synth in the past, that it is being set free means that a lot more people will be using it, and that the chance for new sound sets and other freebies related to the synth like new skins will appear from the community.
I also noted that Ocean Swift have done a Kontakt Player library in the past. That is not available to download now, which makes sense as Native Instruments will charge royalties for every copy.

In reply to Igor. If you are not allergic to SynthEdit Win32-only oldies, check out Wokwave's Estrima and Cromina. Both real decent string machines. AlgoMusic's StringSynth in the same vein. Old plugins of old machines, heh. Now that's vintage!
