What kind of QR sounds are you interested in?

[clipnotic]

1. - Ambient Combi soundsets
2. - Modern Combi soundsets (dance)
3. - Engine based soundsets like the AL-1 or STR-1
4. - A new age piano soundset (programs and combis)
5. - Theme based soundsets like a: sounds from the Eigthies soundset
6. - Sample based reproductions of other hardware synths like the Virus TI or the Roland JP8000
7. - Custom KARMA GE's

The first mentioned four items are ready. But i'm really interested in your opinions and ideas, what kind of sounds would be interesting for you?

I listened to your Youtube videos ... and you are a great sound designer and a great musician! Thank you very much for your tutorials and the free soundsets, too!

Your list above is very good and for me it would have all what I want if I would searching for sounds! But retro/vintage/analogue would be a great extension, too!

A paypal option would be great, too!


EDIT: Perhaps collections like this could be an option, too?

Bass - XX Bass programs for the Kronos
Pads - XX Pad programs for the Kronos
...

But that's only an idea ...

+1 for the Eighties soundset. I'm in an 80's cover band also and am always on the the lookout for those signature 80s sounds.

thanks for the suggestions

I like your style and genre and quality of your stuff. So as others have said 'all of the above'

i thought it was a good moment to give a little update on the soundsets i'm working on.

Yesterday i finished a soundset called: Magical Soundscapes
This one has 32 programs where every program is a performance program on it's own. The pads in this set are very impressive when you are into ambient kind of music. Every pad sound has it's own area where it stands out, ranging from breathing air pads till automated vectorized string ensembles based on wavesequences. There are also a couple of leads in it that really stands out in the mix.

I'm going to upload a youtube demo where i improvise a live ambient piece with a couple of those pads at the end of this week.


An other soundset that is finished is called: Ambient Pianos
This soundset contains all kind of different pianos that can be used in ambient type of songs. There are solo piano's and pianos with background sounds like celtic pads, celtic harps, strings, soft pads, etc...
Here's a demo of two of those piano programs from that soundset (sorry for the background noise in the demo, it was caused by a bad cable)

The next soundset i'm working on is called: Modern Sounds
This one contains the sounds that are used in modern dance songs. It's mostly based on the AL-1 Engine and contains sounds like those used in dance tracks (tiesto, armin van buuren), pop hits (Lady Gaga, Rihanna), dub step (Skrillex) and many more.

An other soundset i'm working on is an eighties soundset called: Back to the Eighties
This one is obvious, it contains the signature sounds from many of the hits of the eighties.

Of course i''m also working on a combi soundset. This one takes time, because i'm not easely satisfied with the endresult, and i wanted it to have 64 combi's instead of 32. So it takes months of tweaking till i'm think they are ready. I have about 50 combi's ready now, but they won't all make it to the final end product.

So exiting things are in the pipeline.

Wow, Qui, I'm very impressed! Thank you very much for all your work for the Kronos Community!
All your soundsets are very good and there's much to learn from your excellent videos.
Thank you again!

Hi Qui

All the sounds can't wait please keep video coming as well.

How about selling a complete traning video for Kronos for the Newbies and perhaps more advance one?

No, i really want to provide tutorials for free so that everyone that want to use these tutorials can have access to these tutorials.

So selling extra tutorials is not something i'm going to do.

Thank you for that and keeping this valuable info free.

Big nasty synth brass patches, any sort of theremin patches. Little twinkle bells patches. This will help me out a bunch!
Guitars on keyboards normally dont sound too entirely realistic, so guitars that morph over time, such as found in ambient music would be great.

I have alot of the analog sounds already, in various forms of equip, plus ill be getting an arturia analog synth soon.so this takes care of anything bass i'd need.

Thanks for asking, im def interested to hear some of ur stuff.

I bought several "sets" for my Motif ES6 from Keyfax/Motifator several years back. One was called "Sounds of the 70's/80's" I believe it was and I think David Polich (sp) did them. They were good and I was in a cover band that did many of the songs in the set. I always thought it would be great to have a library of Classic 70's sounds (Trons, Moogs, ARPs, Rhodes, Wurlies, Clavs, etc) from 70's hits - then a similar set for 80s hits, and maybe even one for 90's and beyond. Let's face it, there are a bunch of us that do/have/will play in cover bands and it would be wonderful to have access to such resources. The older I get the less patience/time I have for programming myself anymore and I feel sure there are others that would agree. Personally, I'm all over your ambient stuff since that's what I do at home more than anything. As others have mentioned, you do a wonderful service for this community and we all appreciate it very much!

How about Transistor Type Organ sounds. Hammond B200&300, Crumar Orchestrator, Yamaha SK30, Technics etc..
