QL Rare Instruments for $20

[zircon]

Do you want expensive samples? Do you have little to no money? Do you like ethnic sounds, such as;

Erhu
Dung-chen
Taikos
Chinese Gong
Thai Gong
Sarangi
Tablas
Duduk
Middle Eastern Fiddle
Alpenhorn
Hurdy Gurdy
Gedulka
Highland Pipes
Uilleann Pipes
Laudennas
Irish Low Whistle

How about a formerly-$400 Gigasample library for $20?

Buy it. Get demo version of CDxtract and convert the sounds to Soundfont or whatever format you can read. BUY IT!!!

Wow, thanks for the heads up.

I'm definitely not passing this one up.

[Sole Signal]

What, no sitar?

It doesn't have as many (usable) instruments as I'd like, but for 20 bucks no argument here.

EDIT: Priority overnight shipping only? Strange.

[Smenelian]

Bought this a couple weeks ago (at the $20 price of course). Some of this library doesn't convert so well to soundfont, namely the instruments with multiple articulations. A great deal nonetheless.

[Villainelle]

Holy crap, NICE deal!

This library is also included with Quantum Leap RA, right?

[avaris]

Niiiice:nicework:

This is now in the mail.

EDIT: Been listening to the demos...I am totally redoing a song of mine now with only stuff from this.

[Degree]

Yeah I'm pretty sure that these samples are all found in RA.

Yeah, what's up with that? I was about to buy BT's ambient textures CD the other day for $10, but had to pay $12 shipping...wtf is that.

[Mustin]

Thanks for the heads up, bro!

Bought it - damn that shipping cost, though. Very stupid.

Damn! $10? Ordered. Too bad it's audio, which is probably stripped down from the Giga version.

The shipping fees are retarded, but that's how they make their money, I think. They sell their blowout stuff at really low prices and gouge on shipping.

[Sole Signal]

On the bright side, getting it like...tomorrow will be kinda cool. Not worth 12 bucks, but what can you do.

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Holy fuck I'm all over this.

I went ahead and bought the BT cd plus this ethnic one. Shipping stayed the same, so I didn't feel SO gyped.

[Blake]

Holy shit. Godlike.

I just received mine in the mail; some of the samples are absolutely fantastic. Very professional sounding stuff.

However, a warning: I copied the .gig files directly off the CD to a folder on my HD. I then loaded up FL and opened Kontakt 2, accessing the .gig files with no problems, until I tried to save it. I got this screen (www.silverlinestudios.net/random/kontakt.jpg), where either way you're screwed, because it corrupted my .flp.

So in summary, don't do what I did. btw someone want to try to fix my .flp for me? ;)

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Urrgghhhh

I got it, but I can't use it yet because my computer isn't working.

[avaris]

Bwhahaha this is awesome. The Duduk and Alpenhorn are my favorites so far. All of the violin like instruments are def awesome too. Throwing effects chains over these also yields some amazing results.

Miszou I have gotten that error using soundfonts in Kontakt2 also. I forget which option I usually pick, but afterwards it asks me to find the folders with the samples in it and then it saves it. Although this won't help with your corrupt .flp file, it might of some use in the future.

[Villainelle]

Just FYI, the new sampler Samplelord can play GIGA files without conversion:

http://www.samplelord.com/

The dev's got a special on both the sampler + his converter utility, which seems pretty good too. Might be worth an investment ($170~ for both) if more GIGA-format stuff goes on uber sale...

[Mustin]

Got it today - nice stuff.

Love the pipes - "Amazing Grace" has never sounded so good!

[SnappleMan]

Hah, great deal! And my Kontakt plays the .gig files perfectly :D!

Many thanks!

[-RK-]

Yeah, really, thank god for Kontakt.:P

Just ordered it, should be here tomorrow. That was a killer deal. Thanks for consistantly pointing these things out zircon.:)

[Vurez]

I hate it when a product I paid full price for goes on sale for super cheap. Congratulations guys on your insane deal :p
