gorgeous sounds

“Will not contain anything created before.” Just to be sure. You mean all patches and sounds are completely new? Nothing from the previous incarnations of WBF? I own the vast majority of your refills and don’t want to just be duplicating. Thanks.

[bitley]

Thank you Bes!

Mr Figg: No worries, no duplicates

I'll post a link here as well:

Bitley I have your original Way Beyond Fairlight R2 refill. If I want the new WBF X? Should I get the WBF X for $69 or WBF R2X $99?

What's the difference besides the price which is obvious? Just found out about this new refill today. Haven't been to your website in years.

Welcome back!

I hope it is getting more obvious if you study the site but let's only talk about Way Beyond Fairlight X in this thread.

((( There ALSO is a slightly more luxurious version of the refill you already have which includes several bonus refills. That is R2X — which can be read as R2Xpanded. )))

Way Beyond Fairlight X — on the other hand — is a completely new version. It is the next generation refill from me. New Reason technology used. It is set to be a truly jaw dropping entirely new soundset using Reason to its maximum capacity.

Here's the press release too:

For Immediate Release Bitley Sounds Launches Public Beta for the new 'Way Beyond Fairlight X' Reason ReFill (Reason 11 and up)

Much like owning a collection of legendary synthesizers—where each instrument from a Roland Jupiter X to an Alpha Juno 2 offers something unique—these refills complement one another, providing diverse tools for creativity.

Yes!

I also dream of a dreamteam of sound scientists wanting to contribute patches and what not, as signature patches are so fun to have in there. While I have a pretty creative mind other people often surprise me with their completely different ideas so that would be lovely to see on board. The heavy base work with extensive looping and editing is done and new Combi 2 graphics are done too so now it's all about patching ideas galore. In that way it becomes a kind of SDK without programming needs. If you want your name in the product.

By the way if you like Photoshop like I do there is a completely free app called Krita which is so fun! Took a few hours to get it but it really is very "photoshoppy" without subscription hassles.

I'm so pumped for this. I have all of your previous Fairlight refills and they are all over tracks of mine. You've always done fantastic work and I'll definitely be grabbing this one too!

[bitley]

This warms my heart! That's just why I am making this. For guys like you and me — who wants more deluxe, odd, interesting yet somehow familiar and classic but reimagined sounds. Preordering now gives you the full version and a fully usable version right away & helps me fund my nightly McDonalds needs while developing and living the hard, dedicated antisocial development life Welcome.

Today I added patches that took forever to program but I felt inspiration all the way so these will make you smile if you ever liked WBF R2 ever so slightly

[bitley]

It was time.

[bitley]

New version added for all customers. 1561 files in all and it has been very experimental and interesting to build these patches, I hope you'll like them. Comments welcome!
