Thank you for showing a how to do it. I listened many times to Strata by Robert Rich & Steve Roach. I do not know or understand how they made those sounds. Is it sampling, some Moog? Could you tell us anything after listening to their album? Strata is an experience. Steve Roach never answered any of my queries....
The other interesting thing, this time in ethnic music is the tonal material of Ottoman Classical music. The Ottoman tanbur has 34 sounds in the first mostly used octave. In the next octave the spacing on the neck is too short to fit all microtones of the first octave. In Ottoman Classical Music there were at some point 400 + modes...the musical phrases in this realm are varied beyond imagination and I believe that on a synth they would be Pure Heaven. In Istanbul there was an attempt at creating software with the intervals of Ottoman Classical music ( makam music or Sanat muziği), and lately the microtonal guitar was introduced by Tolgahan Çoğulu a graduate student of Istanbul Tehnik Üniversitesi. I am sharing all this info because their microtonal realm must one day be married to the synths to produce the astounding. I m hopeful for a reply...
Love it! You inspire me in a way that resonates with my past. I have big hands-my limited training w/ strings was the bass violin, back in high school, where it was an advantage! I tried all kinds of things, but this was long before digital stuff. When my younger daughter was in school, we rented a couple of violins. I still wasn't set up for capture. But my favorite experiment back in the day was with an electric guitar my dad got (and I never saw him play). I'd set it on the floor, set it in front of the speaker at the edge of feedback, stick a tin can on the strings, and between rocking it back and forth on the strings (kind of like your plucked samples), and singing into the tin can (think: convolving voice with the impulse response of the strings, which varied as the can rocked), plus the feedback and distortion from the amp... Now that I have mikes and a DAW, maybe I should get a guitar!
Bravo! I've been playing violin for nearly 30 years and this just blows me away. Sounds amazing! I'm gonna have to pick this up tonight and play around with it all Thanksgiving weekend - and I see it's on sale! Luck me. Can't wait to see what kinds of sounds I can make to play violin along with! Thanks for all the time and work you put into these plugins and videos! Legendary!!
Wow, this is SO damn inspiring! Like, the sound is freaking amazing and I instantly want to go find it and use it in a track, but even more than that, it makes me want to get my own cheap acoustic instruments and get creative in Kontakt, Omni, or my Fantom. There are a couple smaller sample/VI developers who are really starting to saturate the market with intimate-sounding strings and such, but the fact that you made your own....... just damn. Truly, it inspires me, as a part-time film composer, to chase down a few of these cool sound-design rabbit holes I keep watching you go down. Thanks so much for all this amazing content! I feel like I'm gonna have to go support your Patreon channel. Best wishes!
That's was awesome, Cameron. So inspiring to see you coming up with this library, not to mention the end result! Already downloading it and going to have some fun with it! Thanks a lot!!!
This came at just the right time. Kinda gives permission to play around with things that I have no business trying to play normally. ie I'm babysitting a very nice electric guitar, but never thought to try to get sounds from it, other than butchering a normal playing method. You played that pad, and i was transported to a sunrise in a desert...Man that was a film score, right there!
The sound you got from this modern instrument is highly reminiscent of the viola da gamba. If you're not familiar with that suite of string instruments it won't take much more than 15-30 minutes to find some recordings online and see how much your viola sample library sounds like a "consort" of gambas. The big difference between the gamba and modern string instruments is that gambas were gut-strung and fretted, producing a "gritty" (not a great description) timbre like your close-mic'ed "greenhorn" bowing technique on El Cheepo, the frets to a large extent preventing vibrato as we know it today. The sample library you've created therefor winds up sounding vaguely "Medieval" due to that similarity of timbre and character, and would probably be great for scoring period films where an actual viola da gamba ensemble would be a little too "on the nose". Or a different sort of film that with an introspespective, contemplative moment as the character looks out a window at a stark winter landscape. And these are just the first impressions I get from hearing this examples in this video.
we need a video with instructions how excactly to record sounds, how to modify them and attach them to keys. Basicaly very detailed video of how to create our own VST Plug-ins :)
Man, I love making videos about production so dang much, but you are the one guy on the net that both absolutely inspires me, and makes me want to freakin' quit with your insane attention to detail, and absolutely perfect production. Hate you so much, keep up the great work my friend, always waiting for the next one! LOL ❤❤❤
I appreciated the way he said "you know what big hands mean, it means I have an enormous..." and then cuts the scene so you visibly notice - AS IF he said the naughty thing accidentally and had to edit it afterwards to something less naughty. Even though he knows that you know it was contrived for humorous effect.
I've played violin for 50 years, and taught privately for 30. Everyone thinks their hands are too big. Even tiny people think their hands are huge when you play one of those instruments. Look at a close up of Itzhak Perlman that includes his hands: THAT guy has large hands. And yet, he's Itzhak Perlman. I have fairly large hands. Trust me, you get used to that, and unfortunately, it's not much of an excuse. 😉 Buck up, buccarooni! 😆
On guitar/bass, people think their hands are too small...people always want an excuse for why things are too hard for them 😝 the solution to almost every question/problem is practice 🙂
My hands are enormous (though I've lost a lot of weight lately, so my fingers are now long and skinny), and it was often a small but not insurmountable barrier to initial comfort and the first steps to muscle memory, but I've seen people with tiny hands playing full-scale 5 and 6 string basses, and people with meat shovels playing delicate demi-semi riffs on a mandolin. It's all about the 10,000 hours.
@@stephenshoihet2590 The number of guitar students I've had who gave up when they couldn't play their favourite song on the first lesson is easily the largest contingent of students in my teaching history.
Really nice this one. Coupled with some of David Hilowitz's videos this is both entertaining and informative, and gives ideas for sampling and mapping to form an instrument.
Downloaded the free version, but I'm going to have to upgrade because these are amazing sounds. There's these evolutions and micro movement patches that are gorgeous. Great walkthrough on creating this instrument.
I’ve been monitoring Dune3 for a while. Do they ever do sales? I’ve not seen much. First law of buying VSTs is never pay full price* *unless it’s a valhalla or spectrasonics plug-in :)
Honestly, this reminds me that I *really* need to get myself a new violin. I had one years ago, and I enjoyed that thing to the point of guarding it against even my own little sister (and I trusted Her with pretty much anything I had, from my most delicate (or dangerous) books to my most fragile music gear).
It's really interesting to compare your approach with that of David Hilowitz, who is a string player. You both have a playful way of gathering potential tools and making them work. I think this product is probably darker and broodier than David would have chosen to construct but the ensemble idea is working out tremendously well. I think you can expect to see a lot of clones appearing in that sound space very soon.
fun stuff! you can also try lightly tapping the strings with the bow to produce yet another kind of sound. and of course use the bow with another instrument like guitar, bass etc but that's perhaps outside the scope here.
This is outstanding! Another new favorite from you. This sounds purpose-built for a historical western drama film or series, maybe right after a battle or death of important character…Or maybe in the build up to it. Just perfect! Love it!
Dixon Beats mentioned your last two instruments on his channel (regular updates on free vsts and such). Maybe give him a quick mention here? Fantastic content from you as always. Most inspiring music channel I watch because it is all doable and creative.
amazing result! im not sure if i missed this, or it was just not spoken off, but how exactly is the different external third party effects incorporated into a separate instrument like this??
Damn, so cool. Gave me mad chills at 18:30. Can't wait to try it out, thanks for giving this stuff out for people, super awesome. Thanks for the knowledge as well. Will be super interesting in metal, maybe great for isolated sections and layering on top too.
Loving this! Have you played with this stuff with Mark Mosley there in Nashville? I think ya'll could have some good times messing with this... Useful stuff. Tell Mark that Caprice Fowler thought you could have a really cool time, messing around.
Great video, I love it, and I didn't know about that Tascam model - it looks wicked. That said, great results aside, I was surprised you didn't name this library "Violations" 😅 Big coffee cheers!
Man, you've made an incredible video and mentioned great ideas. I almost hate the fact that now I know even more ways of making my music sound more interesting and unique. Freedom is a great weight to carry...) Thank you for what you're doing!
I can't tell you how many times I'll start one of your videos "just for a few minutes" while loading up a session.... and then I've finished the entire thing.
Love your videos. I recently incorporated "Stella" in some music. I also find myself using a couple of David Hilowitz's samples a fair amount like the box harp and the slinky violin
Thanks! Really happy with how the final library came out. Layers so well with other stuff and adds a cool sense of that stringy 'air' sort of thing which has been awesome to round out things that feel too synth-y. Definitely an experiment I'll want to repeat at some point!
Very inspiring. I love this trend of transforming real world instruments into expressive and playable organic patches like this (or Arturia's Augmented Strings or Orchestral Tools Amber or Whisper)

This sounds absolutely stunning!! I would love if you upload a video simply explaining sampling. It would be extremely appreciated.
I second that
google SampleRobot
I'd argue I don't really play any of my instruments, but fake it enough to seem like I can.
I'm going to have to borrow that phrase now haha. Brilliant
thats how 99% of our society works in all regards! :D
I'd argue I don't fully inhale oxygen into my lungs, but inhale enough to seem alive.
It's called improvising

You tapped into the joy and sense of discovery that comes from first learning to make music. This is a wonderful video.
"Cause there are no rules, this is science." Gotta say i love you for exactly this stuff keep it up
These recent videos have been nothing but amazing !

Amazing sound design! Would love to hear what you can do with other acoustic instruments...how about dulcimer and autoharp next?
I've been messing with the free version of this and was super excited to see this video of how you made it. Great work, as always! 🙌
This is the best sounding library I found from you on Decent Sampler
Right on brother! Stoked to check this out!
Hey Cameron, nice coincidence I also bought a violin around christmas. ;) It's super fun to explore, as long as you have a decent ear.
What kind of video would I like to watch at 11.52pm? Why, a video of someone playing an instrument they don't know how to, of course! 👏👏
That's was awesome, Cameron. So inspiring to see you coming up with this library, not to mention the end result! Already downloading it and going to have some fun with it! Thanks a lot!!!
wow. that thing sounds awesome, great job!
I love these videos because it just feels like hanging with the wise big homie for twenty minutes. Thanks for all you do VT!

Yes MNDALA is awesome.,weird and eerie....
You took a $100 amazon instrument and made it sound freaking amazing!!
Absolute pleasure to watch you work. You have great skills for sure and entertaining!
Straight incredibleness! Amazing work!

this is incredible bro
