Great Work! ... and a really informative presentation. Thank You!
Amazing work! Gorgeous sounds... the general feeling I get makes me think of liquid sunshine (those moments where it rains, whilst you can see the sun between the clouds)
Sylvain Picard wow that’s actually accurate!😅
This is wonderful - well worth the money!
I have never heard anybody pronounce 'innovative' like that. I suppose you could say it was...innovative. This thing sounds gorgeous of course. I expect it will be the new felt piano in terms of spotting it on ads for banks, charities etc. Fab work!
I used t pronounce 'innovative' like that, then I realised I was in the minority. I should have stuck to my own style. I have betrayed myself and Paul Thomson.
YES PLEASE!!!!
Birds sing in Tonic Solfa which is why we can listen all day to birdsong (as opposed to Messiaen or Liszt) but speaking as a pianist (and acknowledge that most aren't) the emotion of this software instrument (and real piano is ALL about emotion) lacks the spot or the heart of pianistic rhythms, harmony and melody. (Bear in mind the piano is always considered part of the percussion section in a band or orchestra). The product is undoubtably effective and I would love it as an aid to composition. However in my view as a final product, it can easily be surpassed by a good pianist with decent audio plugins.
Paul's skin matches the UI!
this sounds awesome! well done! and those look like very comfy pads for the mouse and keyboard. could you please tell where we can buy them ? thanks and keep up the amazing work
Fantastic demonstration Paul - It leaves you a little speechless - It's amazing - It's application seems to be towards electronic music - How would it work with something like alternative solo strings for example? It would be interesting to see you put a piece of music together using that. Also is it possible if you could put a couple of videos together about articulations, explaining how they work. Is it possible to have players from string, woodwind and brass demonstrate the articulations - I just feel there are many musicians like myself who would like a more indepth understanding to help in the learning process. Thanks Paul
I bought it and I like it a lot, but I think Spitfire's UI again leaves a lot to be desired. Why are so many of the wave icons along the top the same? Each column has a different playback sequence and I find it hard to believe that couldn't be represented somehow in the top icon. Even the second matrix with hard attack, still has the wave icon!! Seriously Spitfire, get someone else to design your UI please. Your interfaces ignore a ton of conventions that have been learned over the last 30 years, while some very basic and helpful info is just not provided.
Any MPE support? Be nice if you could morph between states or swarms with aftertouch. Just a thought :-). Sounds lovely by the way.
@0:08 Wow. That's a big bar of Cadbury's Bournville chocolate that you have on the table, there!
Reminds me NI Noire.
it's almost the same. I think noire it's better, but the two can work together.
Thanks for the time markers, really helps!
It would be awesome if Symphonic Motions could be updated to have that DAW quantize feature that was in this update.
YES! Spitfire, please.
@@jacobmcentire1649 Raise it as a request to their official department. I will too. Maybe even in the Spitfire FB Group as well.
Very nice one and great demo as always.
This one gives me a bit of Thomas Newman American Beauty feel but with a healthy dose of controlled randomness.
How does it work in different master tempo?
Maybe it would be nice to have more dynamic control over the ghost notes, having some rise in level etc. Probably would take another three years to do : )
One thing for the GUI team might be to consider if the A B C and D letters in the control of Quick FX should be perfect centered within the circle or if this ever so slightly off center feels good for you.
healthy dose of controlled randomness???
@@peteragoston-petrosthemusi8260 Controlled by the software after sampled notes and even more controlled if using the sampled randomness : )
I have both Noire and this one. Noire, as felt piano is very good but the "particles" system in Stratus is better imo.
The particles when it works well in Noire is sensational; but it does leave a lot to be desired and doesn't feel as deep as this seems to be so keen to pick this up and give it a whirl!
This is great! It should be how your 'Swarms' work..... also Kepler....Also, can the motifs be dragged to my DAW so I can change the piano sound to a harp or glock?
The "warped" sounds seem especially nice in this one! Might have to pick this up just for those. however, I might feel a little guilty using the piano waves... this one edges a little too close to the "performable album" territory for me personally.
EcstaticSuffering same here
what you mean? too easy? feels like cheating? :)
@@ethnicalbert To me, the double - piano -arpeggiator sound is just so tied to that one Olafur record that using them almost feels like I'm remixing someone else's ideas. Still really enjoying the warps, though.
@@EcstaticSuffering Ah i never heard of the dude but the paino arp does sound like you could do a chillout album with it in a bout 20 mins XD
와~ 정말 멋진 악기다
IS IT POSSIBLE TO SAVE A USER PRESET AFTER CUSTOMIZING A PRESET? I COULDNT FIND ANY SAVE PRESET SETTING IN THE ACTUAL PLUGIN OR THE MANUAL OR THE VIDEOS? THIS WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL. thanks
Is the resulting sound repeatable? Like you play something and you want to play it exactly in the same way. Especially with the randomizer.
Its called a RANDOMIZER lol
I think if you replay the recorded midi track yes it is repeatable.
Sounds nice, but 8 cells seems like a small amount for this price even on sale. Did you guys at least record every note for every cycle, or was pitch shifting used? Midi out would have also been cool so you could use/sync this with other instruments.
Dope stuff!
Does anybody know if you can sample the midi notes that are being played? Would be awesome to send it out to another vst playing a bass or something.
Would be great if this worked with live audio coming in - such as from guitar.
💜💜💜💜💜💜
Absolutely love the track please by ferr / ferry corsten sounds very much like he used this instrument to make it
Great. More money to throw away. This is amazing
Can you play this piano as a normal piano? without patterns and sequences?
I tend to like what stratus produces when it's a little more structured, bordering on chaos. The randomized notes feel like an overload of sound and a bit too much to connect with. But maybe that's just me.
Have you guys at Spitfire thought about doing some Google Hangouts like Cubase has been doing lately? Would be great to make these sessions interactive with us.
IMO these tutorials explain enough of it to get around these libraries. Cubase on the other hand is an actual DAW which has a steep learning curve.
I can do this on an Omnisphere patch.
On a Korg Wavestate as well.
This plugin doesnt sound like Olafur Arnalds original Stratus, those pianos sound way better and the permutations are much better in the real program.
The guy demonstrating is apparently my long lost brother. 😂
MIDI out?
NOPE! shame
Good question! I wish!
It's like piano loops player...
the piano part is cliché but the rest is very good and useful
Cool, but different. Trippy. Once you get a rhythm down it's alright I guess.
I-nov-a-tiv????
Not sure about innovative, looks like NI’s Noire was an Inspiration.
Soundiron Sonespheres series is a close alternative too. 😳
Cuz Olafur and Nils are very best friends
Yeah I was gonna say, this instrument is really great, but at literally DOUBLE the cost of NOIRE (which does more btw), it's not really worth it in my opinion.
stay away from it if you care about perfect timing of notes
Not suitable watching in the late afternoon with out ingesting massive amounts of innovative substancences.
TBH, most of the piano arp matrix stuff up to around the 16 minute mark seemed a little... meh. The randomised non-piano-y swarms that came after were so much more interesting.
Sad.
If I would construct a set of sound and damped piano samples together with a delay effect... should I say : it is an instrument?
Or if you record a multiple bunch of track together - creating a special (but amorph) sound, would it be called "composition"?
Naw. This is not that great
This is boring! Noire from NI is way way better.
