[synesthesia]

Hi everyone,

I hope this is ok to post here. I just wanted to give you a heads up that our discount for pre-orders ends on friday for our first commercial product.

We have been producing high end orchestral samples for over two years now, for a small group of film and TV composers. our most recent big credit was Avatar.

I am attaching some info about the library below.

Thanks for your attention and I apologise if this isn't the right place to post this offer!

Cheers,

Paul

SPITFIRE PERCUSSION

The ultimate orchestral percussion library.



Description:
Following the success of their bespoke, by invitation only Strings, Brass and Woods libraries,Paul Thomson and Christian Henson decided the rest of the world should have the opportunity of sampling the delights of Spitfire.

Spitfire's first truly commercial venture is an orchestral percussion library to end all orchestral percussion libraries.
Recorded at Air Studios, Lyndhurst Hall, one of the greatest scoring stages in the world and showcasing the searing talents of percussionist prodigy Joby Burgess. Spitfire Percussion is a genre defining bench mark, offering ultimate playability, reality, with the impact but also clarity of the hall, and a controllability and depth not to be found anywhere else in a library of this type. As with all of our modules, this is designed specifically for the media composer and we hope it will be a tool for music makers to use for generations to come.
All instruments are deeply sampled with up to 8 round robins per dynamic and up to 8 dynamics per note. All instruments have the ability to mix and/or mute mic positions from the front panel: Close mics, Decca tree and Ambient outriggers. Route the spots into your centre channel, the tree in L&R and the ambients in Ls & Rs, and you also have a perfect 5.0 perc library. Or simply keep in stereo and mix according to taste. All controls can be fully automated.

We haven't bored you with hundreds of different beater types, we have built - we believe - the definitive Marimba patch, alongside the vibraphone, and xylophone, and a definitive timpani featuring a multi stick dynamic & pitch range that gives a powerful but controllable sound.
We are confident that once you buy this, you will never buy another orchestral percussion library.
