Any particular favorites, @peter? Browsing the website feels like going through a mad scientist’s junk drawer.

Absolutely, I LOVE Ship’s Piano and their Dulcitone libraries. There’s a eerie, wonderful quality to those instruments. A vibe. I’m finding that @wrongtools is the one other developer that comes to mind that just has a vibe to what they do. These developers have found a way to injet their artistry into their sample libraries and I find it extremely compelling. I write that in contrast to developers who excel at creating excellent libraries — like Orange Tree Samples libraries or Toontrack drum libraries (plugins), they’re all about amazing realism and the tone is incredible. But there’s something to these two developers, Sound Dust and WrongTools that isn’t merely just about realism. I can’t describe it fully beyond saying that they know how to inject a vibe into sounds and it makes playing their instruments have a kind of magic to them that I find inspiring and it’s really hard to put into words (clearly, because I’m probably not doing a good job of it!). But I very much feel that these developers are more fairly called artists than most developers, which I would consider craftsmen or more like engineers.
