I just came across your ad, and have looked at your videos. I am excited to try your products, your approach is really inspirational. I agree that the extremes of dynamics are where sampling often falls over, particularly for me, the quiet end.
As soon as I can I will buy your MAD and percussion libraries. Good sounds, great playability, hi fidelity, what more could I ask for?

Great sound, and good UI.
Henrik –
The sounds are lovely and realistic. You get the feeling that you’re there in the room with very little effort and there are great options for the positioning of the sound.
The UI could have been a bit more intuitive and easier to work with though. But most importantly it is lacking a motor on the vibraphone. This makes that instrument quite limited in use. What’s a vibraphone without the motor?
Other than that it’s an excellent library.

Wonderful and playable.
