The lost Sinevibes Collection for G
5 Nov 2018, 19:27Hi all,
This might come off as kind of an odd request from someone who just registered on these forums, but I’ll give it a try.
I’m one of those guys who’s late to the party as I recently became the owner of a used Fantom G8 and found some old articles saying that Sinevibes were selling collections of patches and sounds for it which, according to comments and reviews, were really well made. But every link in every article points at download pages on either Sinevibes or Roland’s website that don’t seem to exist anymore.
I even emailed Sinevibes and got a reply from Mr. Artemiy Pavlov himself saying that they’re "not able to support Roland users in any way anymore” and that Roland isn’t interested in hosting these sounds either. Well, that’s a bummer!
Overall, after googling for hours I get the impression that there are tons of stuff still out there for Fantom X and S, but curiously enough I have had a hard time finding any kind of reliable source for sound libraries for the G, either free or available for purchase besides something called "LDX1 Monster Pack v1" on synthonia.com and well, judging by their demos it didn't exactly rock my boat. There are of course the ARX expansions for sale on eBay, but honestly they don’t interest me either.
As for the lost Sinevibes collection, here’s a rundown of the supposed contents:
Fantom-G Pack: Includes Atmospheres, Bass and Synth: 300 patches.
Fantom-G Super Pack: Atmospheres, Bass, Synth, Organics and Voices: 980 samples, 90
multisampled instruments, 450 patches.
Fantom-G Mega Pack: Atmospheres, Bass, Synth, Drums, Organics, Voices and pre-order for
Analogies: ~1670 samples, 110 multisampled instruments, 510 patches, 40 rhythm kits. Requires min. 256 MB sample memory expansion.
Do any of you guys know if there’s a chance to get hold of these elsewhere, maybe hosted by some third-party vendor? Or do you have any advice to give on where to find some old archives for other patches somewhere?
Kind regards from rainy cold Sweden,
Carl Falkenau
