Thank you! I meant to do more on the horror side in the demos because yeah, it totally could be great for that! It's a Steinway model D.

@@zedxxx9 Thanks! Yep, a lot of layering possibilities for sure.

Thank you! Glad to hear it. Yeah totally --it's easy to get a fairly nice result at first, but once you dig a bit deeper, there are some pretty nifty ways to do things.

Thanks! Good to know someone would be interested in the scripting. For this video I wanted to share what it does, but didn't show any code, because I didn't want to bore my audience :D I should do a scripting video sometime! I tried doing a scripting livestream last Friday, but yeah, it's questionable whether that's worth it or not.

Ah well, catch you next time!

Haha! But seriously though (and I kind of mentioned this in the walkthrough) I think making libraries like these could change what kinds of music people write, in good ways. I remember when I first got Composer Cloud back in 2018 how mind blowing it was, having all these tangible, real musical sounds right at my fingertips, so you could all these different styles of music I wouldn't even have thought of. Of course, you have to make it your own :P But still, what a jumping off point!

🙏

Indeed! Glad you're finding the MIDI clips useful.

Yeah totally, thanks! Yep it'd be neat to hear how this playing style would sound with an ensemble. Dynamics work so differently with a group.

@@QuiemRe Thank you! Yeah I've had in mind that'd be interesting to collaborate with woodwind players on a library. Maybe that'll happen someday. Could be cool!

@@ben-osterhouse TY! U are my hero 😩🙏

Haha, hi Ben! Thanks!

Hey Nuno, thank you!

Thanks, yep --fun times with all those little animations ✨

Magic!

It's a kontakt multiscript I wrote which records and plays back notes.

Thank you!

@@beeeethz I was hoping someone would ask! I think having a version of the library which explored higher and lower registers could be great. Playing the instrument, it feels a tiny bit restricting that it's only 3 octaves.

@@ben-osterhouse It still sounds very nice in the higher registers, so I'll get a lot of mileage from the cello. But I will purchase the violin and viola in a heartbeat if you ever make them! Thanks for making this, Ben!

@@ben-osterhouse I did think of asking, but since this one is just released I did not want immediately put the pressure. But yeah, Violin and Viola Ripple would be amazing!!

Thank you! Cheers!

Aw, thanks!

Ah, about that --I was not as concerned about optimization at the time, but recently after testing more closely it turns out I definitely need to release an update to both pathfinder libraries! They don't need to be nearly as CPU intensive. NI will be very busy with Black Friday stuff soon, so the update needs to be submitted by October 11th. To show how much less CPU intensive Ripple Cello is, I made sure not to crop the CPU meter in the playthrough videos. Here is an example where a lot is going on, but CPU doesn't get very high: th-cam.com/video/VVjYEEjbSKQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gkVBhAKg2Qka4D1s&t=518

@@ben-osterhouse Yes, you could add to Pathfinder, in a future maybe, the MIDI patterns even if I admit in that case there some complications.... Thanks anyway

Thanks!

My pleasure!

haha Thanks💪 Glad to finally be able to get it out there for people!

@@shubus Thank you!

@@dezinerAhmad Thank you, Will do!

I'm not sure what you mean. Sound from the mic would increment notes, instead of using my right hand?

@@ben-osterhouse idk like how some apps can recognize music notes

@@rainman40 huh, yeah maybe that could be interesting somehow

​@@ben-osterhouse they might have missed that the kontakt script maps the keyboard to relative intervals, and thought the piano roll itself was the point of the video

Very usable. ❤

Thanks! It's The Gentleman from NI.

Hi Jeremiah, this happened to a few people before I switched to a different system for delivering serials. Did you get your serial?

@@ben-osterhouse Yes, but after more than 1 hour or two. Can you try to make strumming on the Cello? Have quite a few Cello VSTs and no one has created this feature yet. If you listen to this song Drunken Dream by Chris Benstead, you can hear the biginging of Cello strumming. Would be an inspiring feature/sound th-cam.com/video/SiJYhmXjzBc/w-d-xo.html

@@ben-osterhouse Yes, but after more than 1 hour or two. I wrote another reply earlier but it dissapeared for some reason. Can you make the strumming feature on the Cello like in the beginning of this song ? th-cam.com/video/SiJYhmXjzBc/w-d-xo.html

Ok, glad to hear you got your serial eventually at least :P I wish there was a way to just show it right on the Thank You page, but after some research and asking around it seems this is not possible with Shopify. That's awesome, I really like that track. And actually I've already made a library which can kind of get that sound. It'll be announced on this channel around Halloween. Currently it's already available on Zero-G: th-cam.com/video/Pi6_tqEZi2Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DkUwmA_ZjzfirpAy&t=1411 I figured out this unusual way to record percussive cello which makes it so you get lots of happy accidents. If you just roll midi chords, you can get it to sound like this: th-cam.com/video/O948bXXpxcs/w-d-xo.html

@@ben-osterhouse Wow, I didnt know about this library. It sounds similar-ish, I will def. buy it, thanks. But please try to see if you can get the percussive Cello strings to play a bit more loosely, even closer to the example I gave you. You are so talented, thank you for your effort!

Thanks. Yep!

I'd like to, but I don't know when I'll have time.

Hi Giorgio, I see YT notifications were off, so I'm just seeing a bunch of comments now. Thanks for the email :)

Hi Giorgio, you've gotten me thinking more about midi tools... I definitely have some ideas there now!

​@ben-osterhouse Oh, great! Let me know if you need a part-time beta tester or someone to bounce ideas off of (with humility)! :-)

@@solyarisoftware Will do!

Thank you! I have recently realized YT notifications were off, but they are on now!

Just seeing this now --I will respond to comments sooner in the future. Indeed, endless possibilities! Thank you :) I think sustained, bowed articulations would probably work best, at least for note transitions. However, it would be possible to include in the engine, articulations which are only sampled once per note (no note transitions to every other note). These could be pizz, staccato, etc. and if recorded\played right, could become quite useful!

Hi, thanks for reaching out. Just seeing this now (Needed to turn notifications on). If you'd like to follow up on this, you could shoot an email through the contact form on osterhousesounds.com.
