Beats Working (WAV, ACID): ZERO-G,
in association with Schtum Ltd, are proud to bring you BEATS WORKING,
the highly acclaimed drum groove library recorded at the legendary
Abbey Road Studio 2 in London.
Beats Working offers an indispensable
toolbox of immaculately recorded, highly usable drum performances, with
Intro, Verse, Bridge, Chorus, Drop and Fills of every performance,
covering a diverse selection of musical styles from classic pop to big
band. In addition, multiple kicks, snares (both modern and vintage),
toms, cymbals and hats were recorded at multiple velocities, giving you
the ultimate flexibility to design your own kit. Recorded by top
recording and mix engineer Haydn Bendall (28 years experience at Abbey
Road and a first-choice engineer of many megastars), and performed by
top session drummer Ralph Salmins, the sound and performances are
impeccable. Utilising high-end esoteric microphone pre-amps, and a
direct signal path to a Euphonics R1, it is hard to imagine a purer,
cleaner signal path. Abbey Road Studio 2 is the studio made famous by
the Beatles, and it hasn't changed a bit from the 60s - a beautiful
sounding room with a very smooth natural decay, and one of the very
finest recording rooms in the world. Now you have the power to recreate
this very environment for your drum tracks. Abbey Road Studio 2 comes
alive in your own studio, allowing you unlimited access to a piece of
music history! Read on, to see why reviewers and famous users all
agree that Beats Working is a fantastic addition to any studio's
creative tools...
These
intense metal drum loops were recorded live at our newly constructed
studio deep in the rain forests of British Columbia. We used a brand
new Premiere APK Cabria Drum Kit with Sabian and Zildjian cymbals and a
Pearl double kick pedal. Our unfinished live room gave us a sparkling
ambience that really adds to the powerful energy of our resident metal
drummer who gave the new Remo drum heads some serious punishment. The
kick drum gives you the right amount of "click" to cut through heavy
guitar riffs and the snare drum is crisp and punchy.
This
loop pack offers a wealth of modern metal grooves, double pedal licks
and thunderous fills which should add some real aggression and power to
your metal or rock productions. Tempos range from 90 bpm to 175 bpm.
With GigaHarp, every string of a Salvi Pedal Harp has been sampled in
stereo with eight separate"dimensions" for each string. There are four
attacks or velocities (soft, medium-soft, medium, loud plucks) per
string, two harmonics per string, hand-dampening and muffling. Each
pluck has been sampled in 24-bits using Neumann KM-84 microphones,
on-board RMC pickups and Neve 1263 &1272 mic preamps. Each string
was plucked and sampled for the entire life of its natural decay. You
can even hear the soundboard. Some strings naturally sustain for over a
minute - no looping or processing necessary. Bi-level harmonics are
accessed and controlled by the mod wheel.
All
8.000 samples were recorded at 96000 hz/24 bits , processed and then
dithered down to 44100hz/16 bits . All are normalized . No pops , no

Pianos:
EMPEROR
This library brings you an incredible Bцsendorfer 290 SE as the most
realistic sample library available today. The piano has a huge dynamic
range, with very subtle pianissimo and thunderous fortissimi. 12
recorded velocity layers, with 12 separate sustain pedal down layers
and release triggered samples. OLD LADY: This library brings you an
amazing Model 1923 Steinway D grand piano. Sampled with 10 recorded
velocity layers with 10 separate sustain pedal down layers and release
triggered samples.
The recorded pianos for OLD LADY and EMPEROR were equipped with an
advanced computer operated playback mechanism that was designed by
mathematician, scientist and inventor Wayne Stahnke. The mechanism
actually operates the piano keys and pedals with over 1.000 steps
accuracy for inverse hammer velocity. The Stancke computer system
enabled Amsterdam based sample library producer Michiel Post to capture
each velocity layer for this library with absolute velocity levels.
These levels guarantee a totally even response across the whole
keyboard for all velocities. The programming of this piano is designed
to take full advantage of the possibilities of the new GigaStudio 3
software. This results in more programmed velocity layers. The Emperor
has 24 recordings for each key. These recordings were further divided
in 64 velocity groups, each a slight variation of the underlying
velocity layer sample. These libraries use a new programming to create
the sustain pedal effect. Traditionally, conventional piano libraries
use the sustain pedal as an ON-OFF switch, which has to be pressed
before a note is played. These libraries lacked the possibility to
re-pedal as in a real concert grand piano. Now this barrier has been
broken. The PMI EMPEROR & OLD LADY libraries allow the user to
press the sustain pedal at any time while playing notes or chords to
start the sympathic resonance of the non-struck strings. There is a
choice of convolution using the impulse response of the body resonance
of the actual piano and a programming technique that adds the recorded
resonance as an extra layer. GigaPulse (the convolution engine in
GigaStudio 3) is also used for recreation of the original acoustics of
the piano hall where the pianos were recorded. * Special features for
GigaStudio 3 and Kontakt 2: Body resonance for reproduction of the true
body resonance upon sustain pedal use, Hall resonance, true
re-pedalling, sustain pedal triggered pedal noise etc.
Bosendorfer 290
This Bosendorfer library provides the greatest possible control during
the softest pianissimo, through crescendos to the reserves of power
needed for the loudest fortissimo. By utilizing new technology to
optimise the mechanical performance of the action, Post Musical
Instruments has created a product which leaves the pianist in total
control of dynamic response, timbre and touch. PMI has finally captured
a grand piano with "breath". They recorded both dry samples and ambient
samples. The dry samples are recorded fairly close to the piano
strings. The wet samples are recorded at a distance so that the hall
acoustic is captured. You can experience a concert hall type of sound
and control the amount of ambience until you play it absolutely dry.
Several Gigabytes of samples, up to 16 recorded layers of velocity,
separate sustain pedal up and down samples, multiple release samples...
separate "dry" and "wet" samples that can be mixed for ultimate
ambience control. 24 bit samples, real-time sustain pedal, increased
dynamics, smoother velocity response and GigaPulse body resonance make
this library your ultimate sampled piano! PLEASE NOTE: You will need at
least 1 GB of free RAM when playing the GRANDIOSO libraries from a
RAM-based soft-sampler platform. When operating the samples on a disk
streaming sampler (Giga, Kontakt with DFD, EXS24 with Virtual memory on
and HALION) you need 512 MB.
Steinway D
We recorded the best grand piano we could find. This particular
instrument is in premium condition, a Steinway model D3 with serial
number 393210 which was built in 1965. It was fully refurbished by
Steinway Hamburg in 1999. This piano served the Rotterdam 'DOELEN'
concert hall for several decades, where hundreds of famous musicians,
from Claudio Arrau to the Rolling Stones, performed for live audiences
and broadcast concerts. We captured up to 6 articulations (PPP, PP, P,
MF, F, FF and FFF) for sustain pedal up, sustain pedal down and 4
articulations for the release triggered samples. We recorded the
samples using the finest digital equipment available. Prism Sound, a
24-bit ProTools TDM Mix+ system and Waves processing was used. We have
mapped up to 16 levels of velocity, true multiple velocity release
layers, ultimate staccato, and sustained pedal-down samples with a
carefully chosen amount of resonance. The library has 5 GB of samples.
The end result was tested by several concert pianists, who helped us
develop a sampled instrument which could meet their highest
expectations. There is no doubt in our minds that this is the best
sampled piano ever.
YAMAHA C7
This Yamaha C7 library provides the greatest possible control during
the softest pianissimo, through crescendos to the reserves of power
needed for the loudest fortissimo. By utilizing new technology to
optimise the mechanical performance of the action, Post Musical
Instruments has created a product which leaves the pianist in total
control of dynamic response, timbre and touch. PMI has captured the
final pop grand piano. We recorded both dry samples and ambient
samples. 8 GB of 24 bits samples, up to 16 recorded layers of velocity,
separate sustain pedal up and down samples, multiple release samples...
and best: dry and wet samples that can be mixed for absolute ambience
control.
ESTONIA
Estonia Concert Grand piano is a multi-velocity level chromatically
sampled piano of the highest realism! The Grand Piano of ESTONIA has an
unique SOUND which comes from the superior spruce timber that grows
only in extremely cold areas. The large 9' instrument was sampled with
multiple velocity layers and sustain pedal sampled individually. There
is even a multiple velocity layer release layer for ultimate realism!
The instrument was sampled with 4 layers of velocity (both pedal up and
pedal down) also 4 layers of velocity were used to capture the release
key action of this piano. The 15 instrument variations give the options
of playing the piano with sustained notes only (!), no sustained notes,
no release layer, special 'dark' settings etc….All white keys
are sampled (55 for each layer). Back to top of page
HISTORIC KEYBOARDS
This dynamic library features: Flemish Harpsichord, Frensh Harpsichord,
a Virginal and a unique Fortepiano. The harpsichords have been sampled
so that you can get both manuals separately and combined. You can even
use a key switch to change the registration (from upper manual only, to
lower manual to both at the same time) while playing. All instruments
are captured with their release sounds, giving them an unbelievable
realistic quality. The Sampled Fortepiano Making a beautiful instrument
more available by Howland Auchincloss Bartolomeo Cristofori (1655-1732)
invented the piano during the period 1680-1720, but its acceptance,
especially in his native Italy, was very slow, and it is said that he
was very disappointed. However, in Germany and Austria very active
development took place, and by 1770 there was an instrument, now
universally referred to as the "fortepiano," sometimes as the "Viennese
fortepiano," which was enthusiastically accepted in the general area of
Austria and southern Germany. By far the most important aspect of the
subject today is that Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven wrote many
compositions for the fortepiano, and some of these compositions were
for their students and therefore vary greatly in technical difficulty.
Almost surely, anybody who has taken piano lessons for a few years or
more has worked on one of these works, but, almost always they were
playing a modern piano, not a fortepiano. In the period 1770-1790 the
steel frame had not yet been devised, and the metallurgy of string
manufacture was different than in the mid-19th century. These factors
combined to make string tension much reduced. In order to avoid
excessive force on the string, the weight of the hammers was much less.
The end result of these limitations and of the builders' adjustments to
them was, somewhat surprisingly, that the action of most fortepianos
was very light. The tone was clear and even penetrating, but the
sustain was much less. To like the fortepiano today, even if one's
pleasure is limited to listening to recordings, is to take a step
backwards in time. After about 1800 the fortepiano was gradually
replaced almost as completely as it had replaced the harpsichord.
Essentially, although the term "fortepiano" was still sometimes used,
the actual instrument came more and more to resemble the modern piano.
By 1860 the American Steinway Piano is said to have had virtually all
of the essential features of the modern piano. It is not a great
exaggeration to say the the fortepiano disappeared in the same way that
the harpsichord and the lute disappeared. Even more unfortunately, the
revival of interest in "early music" at the turn of the 20th century
did not include the fortepiano. Major credit for the return of the
fortepiano to the concert stage and to recordings belongs to a
relatively small group of scholars, performers, builders and restorers
in Europe and in America dating from the 1970s. Malcolm Bilson, now at
Cornell University, was the driving force in Norht America. However,
the price of a new fortepiano reconstruction is high, the instrument
requires frequent tuning, and the number of keys is considerably less
than is the case for the modern piano. It is therefore not satisfactory
as a general-purpose piano. As a result, it is still difficult for most
pianists, amateur or professional, to gain personal experience with the
very special qualities of this instrument which was so popular in
Vienna more than 200years ago. With the present disk there are now two
available sampled fortepianos, and we no longer can say that the
acoustic instrument is indispensable to the ability of a pianist
attempting to create the sound of a Haydn sonata on the fortepiano.
Certainly, the acoustic instrument will be seen as essential for the
concert hall. The Boldersounds Fortepiano (www.boldersounds.com) has
been available since 1999 and originated with a sampling session in
1997. The fortepiano used was the personal instrument of Malcolm
Bilson, a noted teacher, scholar, performer who helped me arrange the
sampling session. The sample editing was done by Dennis Burns of
Boldersounds after some less than satisfactory efforts by me. The
instrument was a copy of a fortepiano by Anton Walter, one of the best
builders of the 18th century. The fortepiano used for the present disk
is also a Walter piano, but in this case the instrument is a restored
original. The sampling and editing were done in 2001, almost 4 years
later. The later efforts benefit at a minimum from improved technology
and also, probably, from the availability of a better instrument, but
rather than look at the two disks as competitive with eachother, I
would urge that they are complementary, because the fortepiano was not
a standardized instrument. Together with the Post harpsichords and
virginal they get the Gigasampler owner off to a good start with 18th
century keyboard instruments. A frequent initial reaction to the sound
of the fortepiano is that it is less beautiful than that of a fine
modern concert grand piano. I believe that such a reaction will usually
be changed if the player listens to good recordings. The clear sound
and reatively short sustain of the fortepiano tends to favor the
special elements of style in the music of Haydn and Mozart. The sound
is different but not inferior. Another complaint often voiced is that a
sampled piano is not (and probably cannot be) the sonic equal of the
acoustic instrument as it was at the time of sampling. This is part of
the general dictum that live music is better than recorded music. One
answer to this complaint is that the sampled fortepiano is good enough
to be an alternative to the modern piano, which is simply an
"incorrect" instrument for playing music written long before it was
available. Each player will make his or her judgment about what kind of
"piano library" they want to have. Malcolm Bilson has told me that
there are many fine pianos of both 18th and 19th centuries which
deserve attention, and we can be optimistic that a library started now
will grow in the years to come. There is one aspect of the fortepiano
for which there is at present no simple way of copying at present. This
is the very light action of the fortepiano previously mentioned, which
facilitates extremely rapid playing. I have yet to find a digital
keyboard which has an action comparable to a fortepiano. Therefore, if
a friend was buying a MIDI controller, I would advise them to select
one with a light action if their main enthusiasm was 18th century music.

Scarbee VKC includes 11 sounds and sample sets of classic vintage keyboards from the 60s and 70s!
Scarbee C.E.P. (Classic Electric Piano) is the sound of a hot-rodded
wonderful electric piano from the 70s with expression and dynamics
ranging from warm and mellow, to bright and ‘barking’, but
can also produce a dulcet bell-like tone very suited to jazz, funk and
R&B. E.E.P. (Edgy Electric Piano) has a dynamic and versatile sound
and tends more towards an 'edgier' sound. Certainly, it can deliver a
'soft and sweet' tone, but its light action allows players to easily
deliver a performance with more 'bite'.
Scarbee S.E.P. (Sticky Electric Piano) has a sound that sonically lies
somewhere between the reedy bite of the E.E.P. and the purer bell tone
of the C.E.P. The result is a vibraphone type tone with a very
percussive envelope and almost no dynamic response due to it's "sticky
hammers".
F.E.P.( Funky Electric Piano) has a big round 'twanging' bottom end and
a top end which is wiry and tight. For many, this is as close as they
will ever get to a sound which could compete with the cut of an
electric guitar. In the the sharp tone and percussive playing style
made it a first choice for many funk recordings where it complemented
funk guitar rhythms like no other instrument. We sampled each of the 4
standard pickup settings: CA, CB, DA, DB - in both a standard version
and a version with mutebar switched ON, resulting in 8 unique sounds!
We also made it possible to switch Standard/Mute with Mod-Wheel.
With the F.E.P. and S.E.P., Scarbee introduces 'Horizontal Release
Technology', whereby release samples are chosen from the wave pool
depending on how long a key has been held - allowing a staccato played
note to create a different release tone to a note which is sustained
for a longer period. To achieve this, each key sampled on the F.E.P.
has 24 release samples assigned to it alone.
The F.E.P. also makes use of advanced triggering options to allow the
inclusion of the occasional 'off center' string strike, a well known
characteristic of the original instrument. Sampled, mapped and
programmed with great love and slavish attention to detail, V.K.C. 1.2
presents all of these classic electro mechanical instruments in their
ultimate form.
A neat little feature for the "Vintage Purist": Play key A-1 and you
will hear original noise from instument looped. With Noise knob you can
adjust the level of the noise - take it completely away if you like a
clean sound with zero hum and hiss!

Scarbee is proud to announce the release of our much anticipated
Vintage Keyboard FX plugin - a virtual rack packed with outstanding
models of a range of different vintage analogue effects processors.
Loaded into the VKFX are eight premium quality effects processors,
including the essential electric piano preamp with stereo tremolo, a
Compressor, Wah (Envelope Filter), Phase Shifter, Chorus Unit,
Overdrive, Tape Delay, and a Valve Amp modelled on arguably the most
popular device ever used to amplify electric keyboards (and the model
includes the four spring reverb).
• Multiple mode switching allows module architecture to alternate
from one popular version of a particular effects processor to another
which has a completely different sonic character - at the touch of a
button.
• Simultaneous editing of all processors is available via a
friendly and intuitive interface presented in the form of a rack of
independent modules.
• Module order can be rearranged by simply dragging and dropping
modules to where they’re needed, giving users fast and total
control over the effects chain.
• Easy A-B morphing between presets makes experimentation and
creation of new sounds addictively effortless.
• Highly CPU efficient coding and module layout means that users
can load the VKFX without the fear of watching a system’s
processor overhead disappear, in the certain knowledge that processing
quality is first class.
• All rates and times can be sync’d to VST host, internal
clock or left independent for a more ‘analog’ approach.
• All parameters are automatable. All parameters are assigned to
midi controllers. • A flexible file management system allows one,
several or all modules to be loaded and saved – enabling easy
mixing and matching of module presets saved from different sessions.
• A generous licensing arrangement allows the licensed user to
install and operate VKFX on up to three PCs simultaneously –
greatly easing investment costs for users running multiple CPU systems.
• Mouse sensitive tool tips allow the user to get manual-style
information by simply hovering the mouse over any area of interest.
• A comprehensive on-line manual in pdf format is only one mouse click away at all times.
VKFX is the perfect partner for any vintage keyboard instrument, and a
tantalising environment in which to enjoy manipulating effects on other
sound sources.
