Me too (personally wish the East West stuff was in Kontakt).
He already said no loading samples earlier in the thread ("for now"). I would assume IR's are the same. Truth is very few synths allow this besides Omni 2 (which also doesn't load IRs), falcon and Kontakt (which aren't synths but sampling engines)
Well, I've spent hours on this now, feel like I'm getting somewhere, but feel like I'm getting nowhere. All those years of living next to Bletchley Park clearly haven't rubbed off on the grey noodle. Got a week off coming here but something tells me I might not be spending it with the kids (unless I bribe them to help crack this).Well i just spent the last 3 hours working on this... Managed to break-in to the login form and figured out the user name... now i just need the passcode...
Again, it's not coming up on the Uk Amazon site. Looks like that album is only available in the US.
Edit: Correction, you can get it second hand for about £80. I do like it, but not that much.
Thanks - missed that.
And I would say most synths that use audio allow custom samples - the same way most convolution processors allow custom IR.
Finally, yes this our own dedicated plugin. It has taken 4 years to develop and uses our own ground up convolution engines and streaming technology. It automatically optimises for your system and it looks..... the bomb!
Best.

Thats my favourite album as well.

Hi all, thanks for the lively debate.
I'll clarify a few things, whilst there are four source sounds and three convolvers you browse from the same pool of sounds. So loops can be loaded in as convolutions as can tones and atmos's. Then vice a versa, atmos's can be loaded as source sounds as well as loops. Coupled with a realtime ability to convolve the source sound differently between the different convolvers makes for a unique set of possibilities that have particular appeal to film,tv,games composers as you can energise your cues with molecular loops that don't feel loopy and can shift transform and bend in a near infinite number of ways, not just with an HPF (although the engine has those too). BT said that Richard Devine said he was making sounds he's never heard before which is a massive compliment to BT's innovation.
However the key feature that is easy to brush over is the simply biblical amount of content made by BT. It is wise to remember that these aren't multi-mic'd-multi-sampled-round-robiny sounds, these are single hits, 8 bar loops, really really lite on memory, so when you factor that out to 20GB you're talking an ark worth's of amazing original BT material. The equivalent of over 70 beats from the nu skool by our back of the cigarette packet calculations.
One thing we found is that is an absolute rabbit hole of a piece of kit, so many possibilities. So something BT and I insisted upon as media composers ourselves (albeit in different leagues!) was that it was quick to use and versatile out of the box for people who don't have time initially to tweak. So that is why it ships with over 700 presets made by BT, Richard Devine, Paul Thomson, myself and the Spitfire team.

I do hope this doesn't mean that their sample libraries will soon be moving away from Kontakt in to some kind of custom 'play' engine!

just got to work this evening, gave it another shot, and the answer jumped out at me... Can't wait to see what the reward is.Well, I've spent hours on this now, feel like I'm getting somewhere, but feel like I'm getting nowhere. All those years of living next to Bletchley Park clearly haven't rubbed off on the grey noodle. Got a week off coming here but something tells me I might not be spending it with the kids (unless I bribe them to help crack this).
On a vaguely serious note though, I would be grateful if no one offers any spoilers here (just in case I do mysteriously sprout a smart gene over the coming days). Anyone happen to know how long this mystery will remain accessible for?
Agree... if you really believe it's the bomb, allow demos.I would also love to see a time-limited demo. I've bought nearly every U-he synth after getting to use a working demo for a few days first. I really wish more devs would do this.
Yep, all his best tunes + orchestra....well strings anyway.
It just suffers from being mastered too loud, which ruins the experience a bit.
Agree... if you really believe it's the bomb, allow demos.
lots more specific walkthru's would be nice... difficult to asses, as others seem to be able to, given what I've heard. Very sad about apparent eDNA abandonment and would be careful on this one... but then, i've shot way beyond my means lately!
Have been considering Earth for a while but it doesn't sound quite what I need for evolving rhythmic soundscapes which is what I've been hunting for. Phobos however sounds like this may be just the thing (which I wasn't expecting) but the walk through was just way too short to tell. The pad like sounds (forgive me) sound similar to a lot of synths out there, but the rhythmic stuff sounds really unique. How many presets are organized in each group (Atonal, harmonic, melodic, rhythmic etc)?Hi there, we haven't abandoned eDNA. Our major release of last year thoroughly embraced her (Tundra) and there will be releases this year that use her interface also.
But this isn't what this thread is about.
There is absolutely TONS of material coming out prior to the end of this promo. Including the product itself!
Phobos is a v1.0 plugin available for Mac & PC on AU,VST and AAX, which requires a totally new downloader and authorisation system. For this reason and this alone, introducing time limited demos was a feature too far for us. But is not beyond our consideration in the future alongside all sorts of enhancements to the Spitfire experience (different forms of payment options etc etc), but these are impossible to implement in a v1.0 piece of software and downloader / installer. So we have to play on the strength of our brand along with BT's and trust we have with many customers alongside the aforementioned TONS of BTS materials, demos, features coming during this promo period, to convince you that this 4 year long enterprise is a worthwhile one.
Best.
