Is there a string sample library that would let you create big, airy strings like this? Preferably unlooped and in .wav format since I use Soundfonts. Or something already in the Soundfont format. http://home.mpinet.net/~docsavage20/string_example/nice_strings.mp3 Thanks

There's also a mixed sampled/synthesis approach that, judging from the samples, show real promise: http://synful.com/ Ciao -- Emiliano Grilli Linux user #209089 http://www.emillo.net

I listened to the samples, yours and from the Kurzweil site. I appreciate your taking the time and I applaud your fine orchestration skills. While they sound decent, I can't say any of these examples really sound a lot like the big, warm, airy strings in the sample I posted.

I re-mixed it a bit, got rid of some pitch bends and put in real trills where trills were called for, and changed the choice of string section ROM samples. I think this version sounds better: http://www.dv-clips.com/[KurzweilK2600RSPC2R-O]Nausicaa's_Theme.m3u The Saint-saens' Organ Symphony is an unfinished work and actually is missing whole sections of strings. When I finish that up, I'll post a new version on my web site that should sound much better. They actually sound best when I'm playing them from the keyboard and getting the 'feedback' of how the strings respond to adjust my playing. But since I can't play more than one string section at a time, it's time-consuming to compose something for the sake of this discussion. -- Take care, Mark & Mary Ann Weiss VIDEO PRODUCTION .

I request that readers please read this message from began to end until they fully understand it. It is entirely relevant to this thread. On the Creative website -- forums.creative.com -- I am known as "CMS220" In the above link, is where I take revenge against the following: 1. Creative Technology for no longer making or upgrading Creative Music Synth [220] 2. Customers who like -- or don't mind -- sample playback MIDI synths, emulations, and soundfonts 3. Customers who dislike -- or don't care for - Creative Music Synth [220] On the Creative Technology site, I first asked my questions politely but no one answered me. I then got frustrated and vented all my anger. Now those jerks know how I feel. I lost control of my temper and used very bad words. As a result, any computer with my home IP address cannot access the Creative forums. Also, if I login under the name "CMS220" in any part of the world, the Creative site will automatically ban access to its forums from that network. They've banned access to the forums from three places already because I logged in under CMS220. They've got some auto-ban type of feature, it seems. It started off like this. I asked in the Creative Technology http://forums.creative.com as politely as I could. I waited a couple of weeks. No response. I asked again as politely as I could, waited another few weeks. Again no answers. I tried on the third and last time as politely as I could. AGAIN, no answers!!! I then got impatient and aggressive. I started venting my anger in those forums. I used bad words. As a result, they've permanently banned my IP and I can no longer access their forums. What a buncha jerks. Yes, I did get carried away with the foul language but hey, can ya blame me? So I can no longer sign-in under CMS220. I got a new username "SB16- ISA-FM" and logged in from another network outside my house. I started venting my anger again using colorful language. One of the Creative Technology companymen then sent me a warning note, in which he/she/it threatened to contact my ISP and shut-down my internet connection. What those fools don't realize is that I can log in under any name from any network that I am given access to. It doesn't have to be from my house. Maybe if Creative Technology weren't made up of such jerks, then I wouldn't have started spamming their forums in the 1st place. So its not my fault. I would like a real Creative Music Synth [220]. Doesn't have to be in a sound card. It could be a keyboard, a MIDI box or in any other form. Sadly, its not gonna happen because the mechanism by which Creative Music Synth [220] is kept classified as top-secret by Creative Technology Ltd. CMS220 is no longer made yet the sick @$$ company still keeps the working of CMS220 a secret. Creative Technology is a stubborn piece of crap. F--k those stingy secretive bastards. I hate sick sample playback MIDI synths, emulations, and soundfonts. I just wish the audio communities would revert back to real, non- emulated SB16 FM synthesis and upgrade from there. FM emulation [or any audio emulation for that matter] is sample playback. Sample playback synth = human kakaa SB Live stinks like human kakaa. It has no real music synthesis. Its all kakaa-like emulation. SB16 PCI has the disadvantages of SB16 ISA [e.g. limitation to 16-bit resolution] without the advantages [e.g. *real* FM synthesis]. All SB16 PCIs should be burned in oxyacetylene flames. AFAIK, some PCI cards contain something called 'Yamaha FM synth'. I hate it though because it is emulation. The Avance sound card has 'Avance FM synth', but its also a real stinker as it isn't a real synth. The evil PCI loves to inflict pain on other types of slot -- ISA being the unfortunate victim. PCI cards don't contain real FM synths. Anything kind of 'OPL' a PCI would have, would be emulation. The only 'OPL' any PCI cards have is OPL emulation. Emulation stinks like human diarrhea kakaa foam. I don't understand why a PCI card cannot contain a real FM synth like Creative Music Synth [220]. Is there a technical barrier to this? I can easily tell the difference between the freshness, brightness, warmth, and liveliness of a *real* synth from the stale, cacophonous -- or rather KAKAA-FOAMous -- fart of emulation. Creative Music Synth [220] = SB16 ISA's FM synth = my favorite MIDI synth. I don't care for other MIDI synths. Creative Music Synth [220] is: 1. Real and 2. Digital and 3. Hardware and 4. Real-time All other FM synths are okay. Wavetables are also good. But I don't care for them. Here are my ratings for *soundcard* MIDI synths in the order from best to worst: 1. Creative Music Synth [220] 2. All digital hardware FM synths other than Creative Music Synth [220] 3. Wavetables, non-FM digital synths, analog [non-digital] synths 4. Sample playback synths Sample playback synths are the worst. Sample playback synths STEEEENKS!!!! Sample playback MIDI synths, emulations, and soundfonts are the worst audio equipment ever. They are stinky, tickly, itchy, creepy, irritating, farty, hissy, terrifying, disgusting, and annoying. I like the audio quality of Creative Music Synth [220]. It sounds so warm, fresh, bright, rejuvenating, lively and effervescent. The only thing about Creative Technology that I like is their Creative Music Synth [220]. Other than that, they are a piece of kakaa. Creative Technology is one f--king piece of crap that provides sh--ty customer service. Their tech support is so limited. Creative Technology used to be such a great company 13 years ago. Now there are nothing but stinky-diarrhea-kakaa-foam-of-humans. I've asked them about Creative Music Synth [220] -- through a variety of means, including but not limited to phone, fax, and their online tech support -- only to be totally-ignored. I asked them about this for the past 5 years. Never got a decent answer. In addition, most of their online tech support is pre-written garbage. Creative Technology also uses such f--ked up sickening disgusting sample playback synths in their PCI cards. I wish that a gang of persons who support Creative Music Synth [220] would attack Creative Technology and force them to make hardware versions of Creative Music Synth [220] -- in PCI cards that are compatible with PCI slots and Windows XP -- upgraded from 16-bit to 32- bit and from 44.1 KHz to 192 KHz. And from there, keep on upgrading! When XP and PCI are obsolete then Creative Technology should be forced to make even newer hardware versions of CMS220 -- with even wider bit- resolutions and higher sample-rates -- that are compatible with the newer hardwares and softwares that will exist in that future time. If Creative Technology refuses, I hope the CMS220-advocating gang ties up the people who make up that company and torturously forces them to repeatedly listen to sample playback MIDI synths, emulations, and soundfonts until those Creative personnel are annoyed with burning headaches and are deathly desperate for an escape. Only then will the people of Creative Technology do the right thing -- make upgraded versions of Creative Music Synth [220]. A rich spoiled-rotten company like Creative deserves to be heinously hijacked and forced to do their duties. The least Creative Technology Ltd could do is put a *real* 32-bit, 192 kHz, version of Creative Music Synth [220] in a PCI card. But noooooooooooooooooooooo! They are too f--king lazy. Its not just Creative Technology that's responsible. Its also the fault of self-destructive customers who don't mind paying $$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$ for those crappy sample playback synths. F--k those customers as well. Masochistic perverts! I don't care if those customers destroy themselves. Though, I sure as f--k don't want them destroying me! Such customers should eat their own stinky diarrhea kakaa foam. If you feed a scum, then you're just as filthy as that scum and I sincerely hope you suffer just as much. I feel like torching the chips of sample playback synths with oxyacetylene flames to distort their audio output. Creative Music Synth [220] is my favorite MIDI synth. Its those sample playback synths that are crap. Sadly most MIDI magazines advertise the kakaa-stinky sample playback as a good thing often referring to them as 'wavetables'. These sick marketers call sample playback synthesis 'realistic sounding'. Sample playbacks synths are nothing more than the sound of a stinky fart emitted from a human colon. I've been looking hard for true FM synths. No luck. Most PCI cards have OPL emulation. I hate FM emulation. FM emulation -- much like any sample playback synthesis -- is to the ear what human kakaa is to the nose. I want *real* FM synthesis not some stinky trashy out-of-a-human- behind emulation. Those stinky-f==king marketers who refer to sample playback synthesis as 'wavetables' deserve to be thrown into the sewer and made to eat their own crap. There is a world of different between sample playback synthesis and wavetable synthesis. If you still believe the marketer-induced myth that wavetable synthesis and sample playback synthesis are the same thing, then please educate yourself with the hardcore scientific facts presented on the following link: http://www.musicdsp.org/files/Wavetable-101.pdf Wavetable synthesis is so much better than any kakaa-spitting sample playback synth but not nearly as heavenly as *true* FM synthesis. Of all the *true* FM synths, Creative Music Synth [220] is my favorite. If a synth is *not*: 1. *Real* AND 2. *Digital* AND 3. *Real-time* AND 4. *Hardware* then it, STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here is what I would like to do. I would like to make some replicable electronic nanobots that will search for sample playback MIDI synths, emulations, and soundfonts in any part of the world and attach to the digital chips of sample playback MIDI synths, emulations, and soundfonts. These nanobots should contain magnetic receivers that will extract any random environmental magnetic audio signals 2 kHz and 50 kHz [excluding spikes, square-waves, white noise, brown noise, pink noise and bass sounds]. The nanobots then amplify those signals to the point where they would significantly interfere with -- and cause inductive crosstalk in -- the audio signals in the digital electronic chips of the sample playback MIDI synths, emulations, and soundfonts. This will cause sample playback MIDI synths, emulations, and soundfonts to be full of annoying - and perhaps even frightening -- auditory disruptions from environmental magnetic interference. That way all companies will be forced to make *real* synths and the listeners will be forced to adapt to the excellent audio quality of *real* synths. For those who miss their stinky human kakaa foam of sample playback synths, well, f--k them! I try playing Creative Music Synth [220], through my so called 'karaoke voice canceller' -- which inverts the phase of one stereo channel [right or left] and then combines it the other channel -- which results in anything identical in both the left and right channels being removed. I get a mono of what was different in the left and right channels. When I play Creative Music Synth [220] audio through the voice- canceller, it sounds more treble, sharper, brighter, warmer, and crisper than when I don't use the voice canceller. Any understanding, cooperation, and assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Radium

Wats up wid dat? My Kurzweil K2500 was the first one to hit the U.S. when they came out. I had been waiting for over a year and pulled some strings to get it (no pun intended). Of course, I am reminded not to buy anything first because I returned the first one,...dead on arrival and the second one Kurzweil was nice enough to send someone out to my studio twice to fix it free. He replaced the floppy drive and then the motherboard with a 386 processor I think. I am using this keyboard now only as a controller for Gigastudio. By the way,... I liked your performance last week especially your updated version.

Got new for you, if you'd spend a fraction of whatever brain cells you have left, investigate the East/West Quantum Leap Orchestral sample collections over at the soundsonline website. High quality symphony orchestra recorded at a high quality hall (IIRC it's Seattle Symphony at Benaroya Hall). Definitely not cheap instruments, hall, or people involved. I have the Gold Pro XP collection (the middle of the three collections) and must it has some damn fine material. Granted, you have to do some work and know your orchestration, but if you want to REALLY make good music, it beats anything hands down. They have some awesome demos available for download - get them and listen. THEN, you will have a basis for saying what you say. -- de N2MPU Jack Modeling the NYC/NYNH&H in HO and CP Rail/D&H in N Proud NRA Life Member
