Garritan Orchestral Strings GiGA

P2P | 20 April 2006 | 5.07 GB

Gary Garritan took violin lessons as a child and later studied the harp as a teenager, providing the inspiration for creating GigaHarp, a sample library that helped put GigaSampler on the map in 1998. However, returning to his first instrument, Gary decided that none of the existing string libraries were good enough and resolved to create his own. The resulting achievement is an 8GB library on 16 CDs (or 2 DVDs) devoted to reproducing the performance nuances of orchestra-sized string ensembles — a vast and ground-breaking piece of work. The recording sessions took place over a two-week period at New York’s Lincoln Centre using a hand-picked team of string players with priceless instruments, including a couple of Stradivaris — the Rolls Royce of the stringed instrument world. The 47 musicians were divided into 22 violins (also split into 12 first and 10 second), 10 violas, eight cellos, and seven double basses, and were recorded using B&K, Neumann, and Crown microphones into an Apogee A/D converter at 88.2kHz/24-bit.

English Spinet II MULTiFORMAT

TEAM MAGNETRiXX | 13 March 2013 | 1.79 GB

English Spinet library, featuring 8 different samples per note (4 releases per note) of an exquisite rare Spinet recorded using only the highest-grade channel strip to ensure superlative quality. There is barely another instrument to combine both zeitgeist and timelessness in the way a spinet does. Despite being around for centuries already, its sound is still relevant in many musical territories, while still being inextricably connected to the musical works of its time. The English Spinet II library features an instrument built by Benjamin Slade in London around 1705. Slade is a manufacturer synonymous with the history of the spinet, known for their unrivalled quality which produced spinets offering a sweet-sounding, majestic and brilliant tone.

This harmonious ensemble of 15 strings (6 violins, 4 violas, 3 cellos and 2 double basses) covers nearly the entire spectrum of string chamber literature.

CHAMBER STRINGS II offers most of the articulations of CHAMBER STRINGS I as muted versions (con sordino).

73 Stage Piano Collection

TEAM SONiTUS | 18 June 2012 | 1.72 GB

Halion®/EXS24®/WAV 44.1 Khz/16 bits/GiG/SXT

The 73 Stage Piano Collection finally brings the holy grail of electric pianos to you: The Fender™ Rhodes® piano. While other CDs have the sound of the Rhodes piano, they only have 1 or 2 samples per note. This way it’s impossible to let it sound real when you play it on your keyboard – you don’t have the dynamics of the original one. You’re not even close. Realsamples finally sampled one vintage Rhodes out of many units with 16 (!) multisamples per note!. To get the most natural sound, the piano was recorded directly from the pickup through the preamp section of a Mindprint™ DTC high-end preamp while bypassing any equalization to ensure the best sound possible. Recorded in 96 Khz and 24 bits resolution, the signal was downsampled finally to 44.1 Khz/16 bits for normal use. The CD set also includes ready-to-play presets for Steinberg™’s Halion® and Emagic™’s EXS24®. “Light” versions of the presets are included, too. No further processing has been applied to the CD, so you don’t get that over-processed sound of other sample CDs – just the great, deep, lush and full sound of a classic Rhodes piano.
