Title: 8dio soundpaint
Post by: pebre on February 02, 2022, 02:10:11 AM: Hi,
Most us are very happy with the prophet xl, but sometimes a little frustrated that there the expansions given by 8dio aren't really what we hoped for. 8dio have now launched Soundpaint a free software pluging. You can then add sound for a few dollars. I see a lot of sounds I would want for my Prophet xl. some nice guitars, rhodes,... Would it be so hard to convert these to official expansions for 8dio? I know, I could sample them via samplerobot. But not everybody has that luxury. Sorry for this negative sounding post. I really love my XL.

I was also incredibly disappointed. For that kind of money I feel like you should get more than 16 presets and a few samples per pack.

Post by: Audialeyes on April 01, 2022, 08:25:53 PM: Agreed. Has anyone tried voicing this to them? Im more interested in instruments, personally. I would be happy if either they opened all 8DIO sounds to be incorporated as sound packs, or if they just opened it all up for user samples.

Post by: ericr on May 07, 2022, 02:47:33 AM: yes I have asked numerous times for same treatment as Soundpaint for the X/Xl, to be honest they dont give a shit about the X/Xl. I have all there sample packs and only like about 2 of them, very dissapointng, they have so much in their library they could use, shame on you 8Dio, shame

Post by: rpb1966 on January 11, 2023, 03:49:49 AM: I was very disappointed with the 8DIO packs, but the samples them selves are good so it gives a building block to build your own Moog/OBX patch etc. It seems like the packs were rushed.

A free logo placement and an insult to PX owners all in one. Quite creative of them.
