Don't you ever get bored of it? xD

Oh it is possible, that is what I plan to focus on ;P
Anyone think that Kontakt 6 will be announced or created?
I really would get my hands on it as soon as it comes out...
What do you think, would it be nice to have some more features? What features would you like in the new Kontakt (If they release one....)
I would personally like a better time stretching feature, the Time Machine pro is very good in K5 but they could do better..
Along with improvement of tracking the sample when stretching over 1 octave... A sample sounds alright when stretching it a octave down, but a octave up? Sounds like complete shit...
Also a better GUI... Kontakts GUI is so boring.... erggggg
They also say the NCW feature compresses the samples from .wav into smaller sizes, that is not always true... I got a bunch of samples I literally just converted and turns out the .wav samples are smaller... :(
Just bumping this up for any others who have not got hands on the patches I released for free!
Make sure you put them in your Zebra2.data presets.
I started working on a volume 2 (or more like a volume 1 which actually includes a fair amount of patches)...
Around 100 patches will be released for Zebra 2 for free so make sure you look out for when they are released!

I have a link on my Profile of me explaining the Cinematic Rhythms library, so be sure to check that out if you have not done so!
Roughly 3 more weeks until I start to put it up for purchase! :)

I really was hyped for it to come out a while a go and then never heard of it since... If it is less than $300, I might ask for it for a present xD

Should of posted this last week but I have been very, very busy....
Who has heard?
Zimmer himself and the Spitfire team are creating a brand new cinematic percussion library...
Here is the video:
Here is the link to the announcement:
Hans describes that each percussive instrument has its own identity, each sounding unique in their own way.
They say they will basically deliver the sounds exactly like Han's percussion... Instead of 'trying' to intimidate his peruccsion...
'The thing is to get a great sound, you need a great sound engineer'... So their is a couple of great engineers that are taking part, what Hans is trying to do is to show you how important it is with percussion from different perspectives as a great sound engineer..
From the Spitfire Audio website:
"HZ CINEMATIC PERCUSSION ANNOUNCED
Everyone at Spitfire is delighted to announce commencement of our most exciting project so far. Produced by Hans Zimmer and his team, Spitfire is due to release the most definitive collection of cinematic style percussion to-date.
Recorded in the hall at Air-Studios by Geoff Foster and performed by the same players on the same instruments and techniques as films such as INCEPTION, THE RING, HANNIBAL AND NOLAN’S BATMAN TRILOGY, mixed by Alan Meyerson in LA and presented to you the “Spitfire way” this one is going to be a corker. Accept no imitations, this is the way it’s done, by the man who invented it and the greatest exponent of it.
Your speakers are going to hate you for it.
Once we have a clearer idea of what the package will entail we will post info here.
Due out early 2013." I think they might mean 2014.....

I have not used over half of them for a while, I just been sticking to my piano and my own library (oh let me add that in as well... xD)
CentralComposers Cinematic Rhythms
And another one but I am not mentioning anything about it until I get onto selling it for the public next year, think of it as a ..... 'Suprise'..... ;)
At 10/29/13 08:42 AM, LeoMDK wrote: do you play an instrument
Yes I play piano, always wanted to do something similar like playing for a musical theater choir or a solo dancer for a scene...
I might have to go around to make some new friends to see if I can get a better chance with getting in xD
Thanks so much
Anyone had a bunch of experience working with Musical Theater? I want to go to my local theater and see if they need a composer to either create new compositions or 'alike' compositions, I done it in my old school and it has to be one of the best experiences I have ever felt....
So if anyone has, I hope they don't mind me having a little chat?

Currently working the first track I've ever done lyrics on, hopefully recording isn't far off. After 8 years of production without lyrics it's time to give the right hemisphere a bit of a work out.
I do... I just wanted to support people who are doing so... :)

I'm looking forward to sitting down tomorrow and dissecting these. :)
xD
I hope you enjoy some ( or at least 1 ) ;)
Would anyone want another free bundle of presets, need to do something to keep me busy....
I might include a bit more in the other bundle.... I will try and hit just under 100?

xD Dude, I actually bought Heavyocity's AEON Collection and wow, some heavy UI and samples, sounds amazing.... Just before that I had a urge to create a theme and it sounded like something you would create with all that sick rhythmic action and epic electronic typed sounds

Please help! Thanks.
If you take a few composers and rip them off, people are bound to notice... But take 300 composers and rip them all off.... Well that is a different story xD

All presets are top notch, specially rhythmic. This is a great work and a very kind gesture of yours, Bspendlove. I will certainly use them in my projects. Zebra is amazing and now am using it in all my pieces, at least the last two ones.
I have also recently got hold of this awesome plugin. Tried Youtube and some other sites but couldn't find the tutorials, however thanks to some of them I came to know of a 'little' basics. If you don't mind telling, could you please mention some websites apart from the native one where I could be able to learn it more in depth?
Again, thanks a bunch for this share. By the way, nice website you got there.
Best
-E-
:) I am glad you like them!
Some of the tutorials I found out on YouTube was 'ADSR', the guy is very good with explaining how to get specific sounds, although I have not really looked into much websites...
I recently received a book on Sound Synthesis because I was always interested, and it really helps knowing what each knob does xD (Before, I just randomly flicked buttons and turn't knobs... You can get alright results)
I have also looked at loads of patches that I wanted to create a similar sound and looked at what they did and what they connected what to, I actually don't really know that much, just the basics about Oscillators, Filters (Subtractive Synthesis), LFOS, FMs, all the simple things really) :P
Thanks for checking them out :)

oh and your presets sound awesome! I might be using quite a few of them in the score I'm currently working on. =)
Exactly! and yes he does xD (That is what made me look into it xD)
Thanks :) I would love to check out the score once you upload it if you do use them :)

I have had Zebra for around a year, and only started using it/learning it the past month xD

Glad you like it! :) Thanks for downloading!
Hey Guys!!!
Head over to the construction website of CentralComposers at here:
Head to the 'Free Downloads' tab and you will see the file to download....
The .RAR file contains 39 customized presets I have made for personally use and some are being used in Cinematic Rhythms!
Sounds consist of Pulsing Rhythms, Rhythmic Plucks, 'Drum'-alike rhythms, simple instruments and also some FX...
I am actually starting to feel more comfortable with Zebra as I have been studying it more so I will be on it for a while! :)
Hope you enjoy some of the presets.... There are no 'previews' or 'demo' tracks so I am sorry but you will have to take a risk and try them out! :P
Feel free to use them in any matter, or feel free to take the patch and edit it as your own...
-Brandon x
(NOTE)
If you don't know where to put your patches then follow this:
Go into the folder where you installed Zebra 2 (U-he)...
Inside the folder you can find, the .data folder....
Inside the data folder you will find another called 'Presets'.....
and then one more called Zebra2
Drag the folder from the downloaded .RAR file into this folder (into Zebra2) and find it on the 'Patches' tab in Zebra....

That means you could send off that piece as a submission :P
