Reply To: New SoundPaint V 4.0 FREE – More Than a Dozen Free Deep Sampled Instruments

[Peter DeLegge]

Sadly, “deeply sampled” does not mean full, natural range of timbral variation with velocity.  The timbre of 8dio instruments sounds the same whether a gnat lands on your keyboard or you drop an anvil on it.

And that’s why I rarely use Soundpaint; its VIs lack expression.  It’s a shame b/c it’s a really nice and well-supported plugin!

They make a lot of different kind of libraries. Can you provide a specific example of it? Ideally with an audio example? Are you referring to piano libraries, string libraries, tuned percussion, percussion, etc.?

I haven’t done a sentiment analysis of SoundPaint, but I’ll do one at some point this week. I’m dealing with a health emergency in my immediate family this weekend, so I’m not going to be as active at LinkedMusicians the next couple of days. FTR, please don’t misinterpret my question as being defensive. I want this community to be a place where everyone feels comfortable expressing their honest opinions. I’m just trying to figure out what specific libraries you feel have the issue you’re describing. I don’t recall seeing that criticism of SoundPaint before.
