Hello all! I've just developed a Refill for Grain Sample Manipulator based on acoustic instrument samples. Specifically, I sampled up to 16 commonly used chords on 7 different instruments (Upright Piano, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Classical Guitar, Lap Steel, Mandolin and Accordion) and created 20 versatile patches for each instrument, in 4 different categories: Chords (for maximum original instrument resonance), FX, Melody and Pads. Check out my site and have a listen to the demos. Thanks!

Awesome! I’ll have to check this out. I’m currently in the middle of a refill project as well, so it’s always cool to see what others do!jmerdsoy wrote: ↑15 May 2018Hello all!

Nice work, what was your process like for recording the samples?

Thanks!
Five mics on each instrument (six on the piano)...close mic(s), stereo pair and ambient pair. I played each chord on each instrument until I got a nice clean ringing sustain. Edit, chop, noise reduce.

I’m creating a refill for Europa, Grain, NN-XT, and RV7000mkII of all of my analog synths sampled into the Ensoniq EPS 16+. Convolution impulses of all of the effects (which are really great)...the sampler gives a really unique and gritty sound to everything you run through it, and I’ve found that you can make some truly huge sounds on it.
It’s a very time consuming and labor intensive project, but I think that putting out there for free with some nice custom combinator wrappers and solid control/CV routings will make people more likely to purchase future releases and my Kontakt version of this instrument (which goes a fair bit deeper)
Just today I took a sample of oscillator sync sweeps and put it into Europa as a wavetable, then sampled Europa into the EPS....everything simply sounds cooler when ran through that unit!
