RE: [oberheim] Returning and a Softsynth Question

2014-11-10 by F.Manduca

Thanks for sharing the new of this Soundfont software You are using!! Yes, it's so annoying to sample everithing step by step. Maybe, some gentle soul made some free sample packs, and on the other side, if they are not free, maybe they have a reasonable price..... A free M1000 vst, would be so exciting anyway, but so far, we have as a freeware OP-X FREE, a very basic version of the OP-X, Oberheim Ob-X virtual counterpart. Not the same thing, but.... But... Am I wrong, or there is already out there a commercial Matrix 1000 softsynth version?  Or is it only an editor? Just for curiosity....
Cheers,
Francesco.

       I use the BassMIDI soundfont player, which provides
 a lot of control options and can do some very useful things.
 But I'm not looking forward to having to sample every
 sound from both a Matrix 6r and a Matrix 1000, 1100 patches,
  across at least 61 keys to get several huge sound banks
 that would require a lot of memory in a machine to load the
 sounds, so though that has some possible value it's not
 optimum. I'll do that if I have to, but I'd rather
 not.
 
 Any free VST or, preferably, stand alone player would be
 great. (I'll have to use a VST interface like VST Host
 for my current setup, as QWS, my current sequencer,
 doesn't have VST support)
