The Sound of Piano One comes from the Yamaha C7 concert grand, a true workhorse in the professional piano world, appearing on famous concert stages, in international competitions and in prestigious music events throughout the world.
By utilizing the Sound Magic Hybrid Modelling Engine, Piano One offers both the Realistic Sound of Sampling and the Playability of Modelling. Hybrid Modelling provides an instantaneous feeling – no delay – and a truer and richer sound than can be created with either sampling or modelling alone.

Delay Lama is the first VST-instrument to offer both vocal synthesis and a real-time animated 3D interface. Its advanced monophonic vocal synthesis engine enables your computer to sound just like an Eastern monk, with real-time, high resolution control over the vowel sound. What's more, the plug-in window displays a 3D animation of a singing monk, that reacts directly to your input!
In addition, Delay Lama offers a simple but effective built-in stereo delay (you've guessed it), to give it just that extra bit of impressiveness.
The instrument can be controlled either with a MIDI keyboard, in which case the pitchbender acts as a vowel manipulator, or with the built-in XY-controller, which allows simultaneous control over both the pitch and the vowel sound. Other controls include the portamento speed and the level of the delayed signal. All parameters are controllable via MIDI, and all incoming events are handled with sample-accuracy.
Although Delay Lama is freeware and can be distributed freely, AudioNerdz would like to encourage satisfied users to make a donation to the International Campaigne for Tibet. To find out more about the situation in Tibet, please visit www.savetibet.org, where you can also easily make a donation by on-line credit card payment. It's really great for your karma!

Impact Soundworks Shreddage 3 Stratus FREE
Shreddage 3 Stratus FREE offers the majority of the full version’s engine and script features and includes one pickup (instead of three), 12 out of 24 frets, and the core sustain, palm mute, choke, and release noise articulations. Otherwise, there are no additional limitations.

“We can’t wait to give all KONTAKT users a truly versatile, powerful, and free guitar library for their music,” said library producer Andrew Aversa. “There are many hobbyists, students, and aspiring professionals with limited budgets. Shreddage 3 Stratus FREE is the perfect first step into the Shreddage 3 ecosystem, and it doesn’t sacrifice any sample fidelity or depth.”
Shreddage 3 is a new family of electric guitar and bass sample libraries that succeeds Impact Soundworks’ groundbreaking Shreddage 2 series of virtual guitars.
