A natural trumpet is a valveless trumpet, that's what they used for early trumpet parts, including things like the brandenburg concerto.

Nowadays, they're rarely used, only by groups that specialize in period instruments.


Out of the list given, bass flute would probably be the most useful.

What this library really needs is a second violin section.

All the other instruments listed would be nice to have especially bass flute and heckelphone, but a second violin section is fundemental to be able to realise a full string section. 14 violins is just not enough.

I can think of more than just a second violin section when it comes to strings... mf legato patches, longer destination notes... for example..

Epic strings? Different recording positions could produce a nicer sound imo. [H]

Perhaps we should have a central wish list thread? [:D]

yeah and i would suggest also more "sustain" patchs, heavy vibrato, lyrical vibrato, goldsmith violins sound (his strings are so particular ! i don't know why...)

In fact Epic strings, trumpets, trombones, etc etc would be really sweet!

Would be great if VSL the avobe "hollywood sound" instruments

Herb,

Are you sad now that you asked us if we 'want one or two million Euros [:D] '


The Oboe would be nice. But JUST IN CASE you didn't pick up on the general vibe here we really need a legato Choir (with word development) and a 2nd Violin section.

You have yourself to blame on doing such a brilliant job on the libraries at hand. [[;)]] Sleeping 4-6 hours a night is way over rated.

I want a swinett

made from real pigs lips

My vote is for Natural Horn

Oboe d'amore AAAAAAAAND:

MUTED BRASS!!!
Come on Herb! They should be before them all! [:P]

GIVE US MUTED BRASS

Matt, this list is only for potential upcoming recordings and not for already finished recordings. [[;)]]

best Herb

Way to go Herb!!!
When can we order? [+o(]

You certainly know how to torment your faithful users.... [[;)]]

Regards - Colin

Contrabass Clarinet, Bass Flute, Oboe d'amore.

PS Herb, is there any projection time-wise on muted brass?

kazoo and/or swanee whistle, please

X-sample has a kazoo. No perf-leg of course. [;)]

You must mean the non-transposing swanee whistle - and of course the kazoo in Eb.

Anything else would be a senseless waste of human effort....

Regards - Colin

Is this a transposing kazoo, James?

[6] any hanging chads in this election? [6]

I'm not sure, I've never really had a use for it, but i'm pretty sure you can play a melody on it (which I would imagine is what you mean [[:D]] ).

Its on the percussion cd, which is a good buy. Some unusual percussion, as opposed to the bread and butter stock. Cheap too.

Some of the first libraries I ever got! [[:D]]

<EDIT> http://www.soundsonline.com/sophtml/details.phtml?sku=BS-279
The demo mp3 has a good little example of the kazoo near the end.

William,

I am NOT interested in the Bass flute before a Bb Trumpet or Cornet. While we are pushing ideals on to each other by using HUGE FKN TEXT.

William-
How old are you? I'm in my mid twenties, if you were going to ask me. In fact, how old are the people in this thread? You don't need to answer - Just curious,
Julie
