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.

Welcome to the continent of the Great Bear. Russian Masters is a CD-ROM for the Emu family of Emulator IVX, EIV, E64, E6400, EIIIX, ESI-32 and EIII samplers which incorporates 80 banks of digital instrumentation from the former Soviet Union and parts of Asia. These folk and ethnic acoustic instruments were recorded by Martin Kiszko from the U.K. The 600 megabyte CD-ROM includes looped and unlooped versions of many of the instruments. In addition, all solo instrument trills were recorded in half-step intervals, so when playing more than one note, you will hear the real trills (no digital pitch shifting at any interval).

VSL Chamber Strings GiGA

Team AI | 10-24-2004 | 9.73 GB

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. Many composers use the CHAMBER STRINGS for larger orchestrations as well, doubling melody lines to enhance the string sound with more variety and expression. CHAMBER STRINGS I contains all imaginable articulations, including snap pizzicatos, glissandos and artificial harmonics. CHAMBER STRINGS II offers most of the articulations of CHAMBER STRINGS I as muted versions (con sordino).

73 Stage Piano Collection

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.

Two classically trained female soloists recorded independently.

Possibly the most exciting section of DIVA is a trilogy of mood driven phrases. All captured with natural legato and a varying degree of breathing, and mouth noises.
