In reference to the following sentence below, it seems you intend (to me) to use internal (rom-?) pcm as much as possible (but not always) to create the sounds. A definition of foremost means ranking above 'all others', as if you may not always use internal pcm rom in creating the sounds (except when you state so: using external samples). The main reason I would like to know this is because if you are using only internal pcm rom to tweak these sounds, I find it incredible that this can be done this well [not really, though!]. There is so much sonic potential inside of tex (as other keyboards) it blows my mind when one takes time to work with the sounds [like you]! Especially, when compared with those who say a keyboard is 'played-out'! (i.e.- when is a classic violin ever played-out!). I never believed this anyway! I cite a phrase to myself that goes " . . . only an algorithm away from an awesome sound never heard" -meaning, irregardless of how many times one has heard that so-called 'SAME ole' PLAYED-OUT' sound, one tweak and WHAM! INSPIRATION!!! Something NEW and DIFFERENT!
The second reason is if I purhase any of your collections, I merely want to know if I would be able to tell when I would be using a rom pcm-tweaked sound vs. an external sample you've created. That's all. I'd be interested in any drum/snare/percussive patches you may have as well. Again, great job! -Tim
Oh, I get it now:oops:
You know, sometimes I use words I don't really grasp well-sorta like "The Princess Bride" where Inigo tells Vincinni. "You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means?"
Yes, everyone of my custom PCG's and Combi's are done soley and proprietorially on the Triton Extreme using variations of samples internally...Basically It took a year, see how certain changes interacted with others. I'm a weird one, that's for sure, but I can tell you that I identified with this board and had the utmost determination to make these sounds.
It's hard as heck to find a guitarist in my area that doesn't charge arms and legs considering I haven't the funds to get one either.
I will be including a patch list I've created with all new different names.
What you will only need to do is load the sounds into the Extreme and they will load into a User bank.
Note that "if" and only If you have user patches within the Extreme all you'll need to do is to save those (I did so globally) and the fun part is-is at any time you wish to recall factory settings, my soundsets, or yours:
all you have to do is execute whatever files you are importing within the Triton Extreme, the Triton Extreme will make it so!
I am working on additional sounds as I post here, trying to cram as much sound data as I can for the file you and hopefully others will want to get.
I am no businessman, above all.
I am just a musicman like you all. In my case I just "had" to have these sounds. They truly add so much depth.
I love analog, but I don't have that gear.
So, I also have very lush, warm, ambient, and atmospheric tones which will be included as well!
What I tried to do is create one sound for these "pads" which will be dynamic, and real in a sort of fantasy-realm sort of way.
Being extremely forthcoming:
I demo'd Ministry of Rock
Steinberg's Virtual Guitarist among other VST's which offer guitar sounds.
M.O.R is priced at the minimum $400.00
Steinberg's is half that but it is also less than half as good
While I realize I don't have an expansion card I'm selling that you have to connect like an SRX board, I won't be pricing it like that either. Also, the Steinberg- while some sounds are decent some are limited to phrases and riffs. In a way it sort of inhibits creativity if you can't make the idea in your head become a reality on tape, or a recording-should you want to.
In short I won't be pricing it very high.
The number one thing I really want to do is have composers and beat makers a value oriented "product" along with the purchase price.
I have "shopped" around, played the M3 extensively, the Oasys88, and every other board I've ever come across or demo'd and being totally up front I have never heard these sounds, at their fidelity nor sound quality/playability...They are different and unique. I won't say they're better than "X" because I can't say. This is for the listener to decide.
To give you and others the basic idea behind the sounds I've created:
I took the basic PCG's as any Professional Korg developer did, and created a nice assortment of guitars, piano, strings, drum kits and more...
The difference is is that in addition to the fantastic job Korg did with the Extreme (and the fact I'm not a professional programmer either), I took it a bit further and spent an entire year, tweaking the many combinations (not combi's) the many combinations of the:
5 insert effects
2 master
cutoff
resonance
release
oscillators,
monophonic and polyphonic tone manipulation: basically all settings internally were tweaked, both at the PCG and at the Combi level, then sort of like DNA, I recombined them sometimes splicing the data of one PCG, and another-using the different characteristics of the sample data I was able to make guitars that use the type of playing guitarists use today! Some use as many as 5 to 10 voices, but polyphony does not so run out so quickly: because not all sounds are triggered by the same trigger, such as velocity, or soft playing nor do they play all at the same time, or at different octaves or timbre positions.
