While we put the final touches on the mappings, test everything and come up with a good photo, here's a demo of Cowsynth, Karoryfer's "bagpipe samples as oscillators" synth for Sforzando. The seven mappings are Wheezy, Lonely, Shifty, Fancy, Asthmatic, Baggy and Doc.

The demo has fancy plucks, shifty lead and asthmatic pads. No effects other than reverb.

I've been using it a lot, especially for short plucks. Hopefully soon I'll post a complete track using it along with our earlier Swagbass and Emilyguitar libraries. And then I'm going to do something similar with a much larger set of double bass samples.

And here it is.

And a track where I'm using it - shows up towards the end, layered with the guitar with extra high notes. Gradually fades in after the two minute mark. The guitar is our Emilyguitar, and the bass present throughout is our Swagbass.

Today I started on something similar, but bigger and better using bowed double bass samples across four octaves. Got the samples cleaned up, tuned and turned into infinite-sustaining oscillators, evened out some inconsistencies, and made some 17-oscillator mappings with various detune schemes already. Damn that sounds thick and organic.

I'm also going to use those double bass samples for an improved double bass library, got death metal girl in the works, and hopefully will get another forum member to record samples for another bass guitar library. And I'm finishing up another cover which uses Cowsynth and Emilyguitar. So, expect a steady trickle of stuff, though I'm really liking using samples of my bowing my bass as if they were oscillators, so that's going to get priority. It's like building a cyborg bassist version of myself.
