EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hello EXS users,

Bolder Sounds has a free sound bank for the EXS at it's *new* website.


I've just finished up the Hammered Dulcimer Trilogy set for the EXS
24.
It includes a Cimbalom, Concert Grand Hammered Dulcimer and a standard
2 Course Hammered Dulcimer. There are numerous mp3 demos at the Bolder
site of this Trilogy. So this freebe sound-set is right in line
with that family of instruments.... this is the baby of the family.

This instrument is designed as a child's toy. It is supplied with a
guitar pick and some sheets that slide underneath the string telling
you which strings to pluck from left to right. Featuring such hits as
"Darling Clementine, Aura Lee" etc... It doesn't have a grandiose
sound, but it certainly is somewhat distinct. It's range is 2 octaves
in the key of G.

Music Maker for EXS 24
31 MB of 24 bit stereo samples. 24.6 MB zipped
http://www.boldersounds.com/

Feel free to write me with any questions you might have. Have fun!
Dennis @ Bolder

Sorry for the major screwup folks, but I did not include the EXS
instrument files with the zipped samples.

As soon as I get a hold of my web-wizard I'll get them posted as a
separate download (it's only 7kb zipped).

My apologies for the inconvenience!

Uh those dulcimers do sound good but the site says that they are NOT
free. Not horribly expensive, but not free.

I also wondered about that, then realised it's the "MusicMaker" which is free.

To Dennis:
Thanks for the freebie. Your read-me says 31Mb of samples, but the 
zip file expands to just over 25Mb. Is that right?

Just to clarify things....

The Music Maker sampled instrument for the EXS IS a FREE download.
The Hammered Dulcimer Trilogy is NOT free.

So there are free sounds at the Bolder Site listed under FREE Sound
Libraries (many of them) and there are sound collections which are for
sale as well.

Colin,
I realized I took the sample size of the Music Maker from my Kontakt
version which for some reason is bigger. I'm not sure why though... I
must have edited out a sample or trimmed them more in the EXS version.
Thanks for pointing it out though, I'll change the info on the
website.
The next time I post a sound for the EXs it will be TRIPLE checked :)
