Nylon guitar library coming to Fantom-G!

Hey Art,

My understanding is the new acoustic nylon guitar is just that i.e. "one" patch right? I want Sinevibes to prosper and to rake in the dough and all, but in the future could you consider perhaps bundling in at least a "few" different patches/samples along with the deal? For instance, an SRX card has up to 450 patches (64mb wav rom) for $249. Granted, only a few patches within any given SRX card would be considered par excellence, in my opinion, and the patches are usually over a broader sound spectrum e.g. keys, organs, strings, bass, leads, synths etc., wrapped up in one card. Concentrating on a single category e.g. "acoustic guitar(s)" narrows down the field and is probably better suited for 'smaller' projects.

Also, your other offers are usually a bundle of "many" different patches/sounds/samples yet still reasonably priced of course. So, to "beat around the bush" (even more) what I am saying, in a nutshell, is charge what you consider a reasonable price on future acoustic efforts (if there are any more), only next time put some steak and potatoes on the table and make it a nine course dinner masterpiece okay? In other words, include "several" acoustic (whatever) and charge accordingly. Variety is the spice of life they say. In other words, both nylon and steel string guitars would have been nice, and several in each category, especially when considering the Fantom G presets are lacking quite a bit in that area in my opinion. Something to think about... hopefully. Thanks Art!

Haven't you checked the Sinevibes site already?

"27 multisamples, 25 patches and 10 live sets"

Art, I just want to thank you for continuing support like this for the G. If Roland showed half of the enthusiasm you did, they would have the synth community in the palm of their hand.

This patch is perfect for me as I love spanish guitars. Ever since Wham used them in some of their B side songs like "Like A Baby", I have loved incorporating them into any song I could.

Thanks again,
B.

Actually I hadn't gotten over there since you announced it Art. Sorry... my bad.

Okay, so there are 296 samples, 27 multisamples, 25 patches and 10 live sets. What I have yet to determine is - are there both Steel string and Nylon string Guitar or just Nylon? BTW, irregardless of whether any Steel string Guitars are included in the project I think I'm still gonna get it Artemiy. A few Steel string Guitars would have been nice though. PS: If I missed your post regarding this issue then please forgive me. Sometimes I don't read all the posts within a given thread. If there are some Steel strings included then - fantastic! If not, the world's not coming to an end and I'll make due with Nylon - for now.

Thanks for the kind words!

keysme:

It's a single nylon guitar but that was recorded in multiple different ways. By mixing and velocity-switching different recordings, you can shape your own guitar sound. It's like a virtual guitar model, just made of 100% real recordings.

Okay, Gotcha! Thanks for clearing that up Artemiy. Looking forward to the finished product in a couple weeks or so.

You'll be happy to know that we intend to release it a bit sooner The product was ready two weeks ago essentially, we just pushed a bit more on the supplementary materials. Stay tuned

Nylon is out

cool! will download on my home pc when i get home. (^_^)b

Art- can you make your site so that you dont need to include so much personal info on the site to order a download?

all i want to do is put in cart, buy through paypal (?).

thanks!

ART, are you saying this is the final release? The one you planned for August? The steal your heart version?

kenchan:

You are ordering through my e-commerce service provider and I have no controls over their order process. However, please note that even if you would order via PayPal directly, PayPal also sends all your personal data to the seller store. So you will give out this personal information in any case... But you have nothing to worry about as the transaction is secure and obviously nobody will ever share your details with anyone.

en76:

Yes, this is the 100% final version that was planned.

Purchased and loaded Nylon today. I gotta say, for $49 it's a great sounding guitar. Art, you will need to push Roland to straighten out their well known file organization mess. I've got a few great songs on one of my projects that I want to enhance with this guitar but there is no easy way yet to get Nylon project files to mesh with the project I have my songs on. Unless this mess is straightened out, I'm afraid the market for these great instruments will be limited. I mean who wants to throw out a project they've been working months on just to have one great guitar sound? I tried using the library to get the patches in and then copied the sample set into my original project but the end result is far from perfect and the Live Sets are unusable. There is no other big name synth workstation on the market today that makes file handling this convoluted. OK, I said my peace. Kudo's to you and your crew for a job well done.

psterbentz:

Very glad you liked it!

We are of course aware of limited file management in the Fantom-G. However, it's totally possible to merge these sounds with your project, if your project doesn't occupy the first few hundred sample locations.

What you need to do is:

1. Copy the SEQ folder from your project into Nylon project
2. Use the Librarian to copy patches and live sets from your project into Nylon (but keep in mind that your songs already keep this data within them - so maybe you do not need this step)

Check out the micro manual if you're unsure how to perform these operations.
