Title: !!! New sounds - 256 of them !!!
Post by: Psalm37 on July 11, 2020, 10:01:07 AM
Hi,

A while back I asked for your suggestions (in a previous topic) as I embarked on programming 256 new sounds for the OB-6. It’s been almost 4 months of very hard work to get these done and I’ve taken this work just as seriously as any of my factory programming commissions from KORG, Novation Dave Smith Instruments etc…This is probably why it’s taken so long.

The demo is below, if you’re not interested in reading the rest of this post (I discuss my personal approach to sound design and sales) go ahead and watch the video below which was edited down from 1hr 50mins but still remains at nearly 50mins!

These and everything else I do independently can be found here:

My website is here: www.timmantle.com/psalm37.html

So, if you're looking for copy-cat patches then these might not be for you. Of course, I take inspiration from my favourite artists and you will hear that. However, you won't hear me dialling in duplicate sounds from this or that chart topper - For creative reasons I personally find such work uninspired and very unrewarding. I'd rather give you a fresh set of springboard sounds.

You'll notice that you’re getting more presets for less money than most other paid for packs. This is by no means a reflection of quality nor the length of time that went into producing them (every available working day for 4 months!!!). Instead, the price reflects an attitude of accessibility.

I don’t want to hike the price to artificially create some sort of false desirability.
Simply put, isn't it better for the community if two people can afford a lower price than for just one person to be able to afford double that price?
Despite the effort that went into them and how pleased I am with how they ended up sounding I value the synth community and want as many people to be able to access them as possible, so long as I can still get by and try to make some sort of a living. This will continue as long as I continue.

Thanks to everyone who has picked these up so far. They've proven to be quite popular and I appreciate all the kind words.
