Synful Orchestra

It is quite weird synth using very different approach to both samplers and physical modellers.

We already have topic on this one. Please use search function before posting ;) Happy new year!

Joke aside, this is my favourite plugin. Check out the acoustic instrument thread for my example!

This is dangerous one. I'll be drunk very soon. Could ban in an instant :-)

Can you repost it here?

Synful is one of those instruments that can create fantastically real sounds, but is deceptively complicated...

Really unique and low system requirments. Definitely best to use a good mixing engineer to get the most out of it. Pairing it with FORTI and SERTI convolution (add on to the Viennna Suite) can really make it sing.

@thepalalias

Looking at manual they have simple reberb engine build in taking position into account.

Btw, do you know free convolution reverb plugins? It must be no so hard to make ones, as main thing is recorded responses?

The original S.I.R. is still free, though high latency. TL Space may still be bundled with Pro Tools and Perfect Space is bunled with Sonar. All the others I have encountered cost extra.

Many manufacturers bundle large collections with their engines, like Waves and Audio Ease. One of the only companies that sells collections of real spaces not tied to a given engine is www.NumericalSound.com, though their last library is different and only works with Vienna Audio Suite.

Thanks Alex, I'll check that out. :-)

Must say it is really interestting thing. Sounds react like real deal, but in sound there is something strange. Must test it again a bit later, still a bit drunk or something.

I'll be talking to author soon.
Will post my interview here.

@Vitaliy_Kiselev

Great! Looking forward to the interview.

>Can you repost it here?

Sure. Listen to the cello riff. It's difficult to do this with an ordinary sampler. Piano is http://www.acoustica.com/pianissimo/index.htm

The first test: the violins.
The violin sounds seem to be working really well, except bottom notes where sound begins to turn little strange. Machinegun test (short fast notes) works really well. Overall quite impressive.

Btw, you can post here any questions (just try to first read interview in the top post to avoid repeats).

Personally I would like to know when the next version is coming out!

Howdy, Stranger!
