Two fresh patches from Ambient Strings derived from bowed psaltery sounds/phrases are used in this demo:

one of them has a scripted interface, as soon as the scripter has implemented the snapshots, I'll make a video with it and post a detailed description. The psaltery is such an incredible instrument, lovely.

Spent the whole day polishing patches, the end of the tunnel is visible, I think this library will be of one of my own favourites.

Here comes a video for one of the patches used in the audio demo above:

Granular Psaltery Penta Split
Bowing the psaltery playing slow repeating pentatonic sequences (played freely, not tempo based) based on the root of D#, 2 keyswitchable combos are available: split trio in the first with each sample playing over two octaves plus a droning analog synth in unison detune mode providing the root notes, split duet in the second combo with each sample playing over three octaves plus the analog synths. The psalteries play in granular mode with controls for speed, grain size, grain position and detune, the synth drones can be tuned up an octave, hard sync/filter modulation can be added, PWM modulation speed in the synth can be controlled.

While finalizing the patches from this library and writing the documentation, I come across some patches which want to make me jam, so here is a dirty jam with "Cello Pizz Ostinato Synced", played live on video:

Description (not all controls are mentioned):
Temposynced cello pizzicato accents with vibrato played on the downbeat of each bar, 4 x 4/4-loops sampled at D1 (14 bars, with the last note being 2 bars long) - A1 - E2 - B2 (all 8 Bars), instrument range: C0 - C4
Add temposynced filter modulation via step envelope with M1, synced amplitude modulation with M4, add drive and synced drive modulation (ramp up LFO) with M6. The Modwheel adds temposynced, square-shaped pitch modulation, +7 semitones with MW fully engaged.

And here comes the final audio demo for this library, combining three patches which just had to be displayed:

Any fence-sitters should pre-order now, if they want to save some cash, I'm almost done.

This library has just been released, all info in the first post of this thread was updated accordingly.

Some of the granular violin patches from Ambient Strings heavily complained they had not been featured in a video, so here is a rather epic video displaying 4 of them by improvising through the night:

With a recent update UVI removed the feature to use long wav samples in the wavetable synth in order to extract single cycle waveforms - which results in an error message “invalid file format“ when trying to load two of the patches from Ambient Strings.

I just fixed this by creating single cycle waveforms from these samples and changing the paths in the programs. Also I modified a few of other patches (also contained in the “Falcon Update“ folder), adding plenty of Macros, substituting the old granular oscillator with the new multi-granular oscillator and other things.

Download links for the update have been sent out to all Ambient Strings users.
