For many people who grew up playing video games,
their first experience really listening and taking pleasure in harp music
may have been from the Legend of Zelda games,
where the Celtic harp played a prominent role in Koji Kondo’s soundtracks.
The Legend of Zelda games are now considered as having been one of the biggest influences on game music,
setting the sound for fantasy soundtracks across the board.
From A Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time to the latest Breath of the Wild,
Kondo’s, and later Eric Bucholz’s, scores served to not only advance the in-game playing experience,
but also to define the fantasy soundtrack genre itself.

There are now 3 general modes to select from:
CREATE mode: this is Melody Sauce’s current standard operation
- create melodies or play the melodies you have created inside the plugin.
Melodies will play via the internal midi-generation engine using the plugin’s sounds.
DAW MIDI mode: this new mode allows Melody Sauce 2 to play incoming midi from your DAW,
so any midi placed on the same track as Melody Sauce 2 will be played by the plugin’s sounds.
This means you can drag midi melodies from the plugin to your DAW and Melody Sauce 2 will play these directly from the DAW.
This also allows you to use...

GRAN CODA is a new approach in making a virtual grand piano.
For the first time a virtual instrument was created in collaboration with the manufacturer:
Fazioli Pianoforti (Sacile, Italy).
GRAN CODA was recorded in Sacile at the Fazioli Concert Hall and the piano was prepared by Fazioli technicians.
The selected model F278 is the resident Grand Piano of the Fazioli Concert Hall
and it was inaugurated in 2005 by a great italian pianist: Aldo Ciccolini.
Distortion is one of the most powerful tools in an engineer’s toolbox.
When used subtly, it can enhance even the cleanest acoustic instruments.
When used with a heavy hand, it can increase aggression and loudness.
But like all powerful tools, if you use it wrong, it can have disastrous consequences.
Big Clipper gives you the tools to hone in your distortion to give it just the right flavor of harmonics.
From a soft, warm overdrive to crushing, bitey clipping, Big Clipper does it all and lets you easily dial it in.

Orrville Pipe Organ is a classic pneumatic pipe organ
with 1,224 pipes, 21 ranks, 3 divisions, 2 manuals, 18 stops and 31 registers.
It was built for the First Presbyterian Church of Orrville, Ohio in 1963 by the venerable Schantz Organ Company.
With a robust and mighty sound, it's a much more elaborate and powerful instrument than you'd typically expect to find in a smaller rural church like this one,
allowing the sound to completely fill the space with an epic presence and grand tonal body.
However, that all might be explained by the fact...
LEGENDARY TRANSPARENCY
Pulsar 8200 is a faithful emulation of the legendary GML 8200 designed by George Massenburg*,
the inventor of the parametric EQ. Full EQ control is a formality today, but it was a dazzling novelty back in the days.
Just like the original machine, Pulsar 8200 gives you a tight and solid low end, a crystalline high end, and surgical control over the frequency spectrum.
He perfectly replicates the all-discrete, Class-A analog electronics that made the original machine famous in the 80s, and still used today.
Its parallel topology...
Nylon Rustique is an emotional legato nylon guitar library for Kontakt.
We wanted to produce an instrument that would suit delicate, emotional lines for slower/moderate-tempo contexts;
all housed in a keyswitchless patch.
To achieve this, we captured three legato types – each activated by velocity.
The primary range plays the plucked natural legato performances,
the high velocity range triggers the slides with no pluck samples (up to a whole-step for these) ,
and the lower velocities activate the slides with pluck articulation– the speed of which can be controlled by the modwheel.
BIT stands for Back In Time… and now we move to time travel level 2!
Instead of combining the best of analogue modeling with hybrid synthesis in which you can see with the other Rob Papen synthesizers,
BIT-2’s main focus is on analogue Modelled Synthesis.
The idea behind BIT-2 is that the classic analogue type of synthesis has its own charm
and simply has not yet been covered in this form by the Rob Papen brand.
Although BIT-2 has no patch cables, it is modular by all means!
The Modulation Matrix is used for the patching, however also included is the smart ‘advanced’ panel below the Oscillators.
With these advanced features (accessed by switching the ADV switch),
you can quickly make several...
