24 HOURS LEFT! Ólafur Arnalds Chamber Evolutions Promo Price Ending Tomorrow

Ive got the original Olafur Evolutions. Other than the differing evolutions, trying to decide what the ensemble size adds and whether the soloistic original version lends itself better for chordal textures as there is more definition.

Its a tricky one as it does sound good...

Also in two minds as to the longevity of this signature sound as its so tied to Mr Arnalds. Watched a couple of foreign detective shows from France and Denmark recently that both had this sound and weren't by him but obviously used the same sound (or Spitfire libraries!).
 
Ignore me, just listened to the new video again. The feathering in and out retains the definition, it sounds really good! Especially like the unsettling ones as can see those being really good behind stuff.
 
I've been using the waves for the last 6 months and if you're a serious SCS user (which I am) they're worth entry alone, these are more of a standard articulation which don't all carry OA's distinct signature other than it is a shape he uses often. They've made my life so easy, the most instant and realistic strings sound I've ever had to write with. Directors seem to get all excited about them too...

Just with my composer hat on...

Those waves are what sold this library to me.
 
@christianhenson while I'm waiting for the download (20 minutes more to go) -- how about adding midi controls for the grid randomizations? It breaks my flow to have to go click-click while I'm trying to find the serendipitous just right combination. I think it would be brilliant.

It would be nice to be able to time stretch these with a stretch type bar like "release". Nice that there are 2 dynamics on the chamber waves.

It’s a great idea, how do you see it working?

pS Craig have you checked out the time machine versions of the waves is that what you meant?

This is the main reason I bought this library instantly. I love similar articulations in other developers libraries and have been hoping for a long time that SF would bring something like these to SCS. I'm already using them in an orchestration! The project was screaming for them so this library couldn't have come at a better time!
 
I can't do it, I can't do it - Eric Whitacre library is on the way, no???? Paul definitely hinted Feb!

No, I can't do it, don't break me! Must... hold.... out....
 
Was unaware that the TS versions are there (have not purchased yet), great to know!...thanks.
Oliver said in his demo that the time stretching really takes away from the sound of these patches obviously.
so you will have to write around them to get the best pay back, and the pay back appears to be worth it!

Arrggghhh.... just watched Paul's walkthrough. Pull... is...getting...irresistible.

Hand...stretching...to..'buy'...button...
 
Just take my money already. It's not like I'm poor enough as it is. At least I'll have fun composing when I'm eating my ramen.
 
I've just sent my credit card directly to Spitfire...I really don't need to be involved anymore.

Yeah, I've done the same... saves time all round. What I need now is a direct ethernet connection to their servers.
