Positives

- the price point makes this a no-brainer if you make orchestral music.

Negatives

- lacks 'features' that other libraries have like recorded rolls or mallet choices. Not really missed though.

from Wavesfactory:

Set of 4 Yamaha timpanis recorded in a dry studio environment so you can add whatever kind of reverb you want.

Timpanis were played with cotton mallets from D1 to G2, 5 round robin and 6 velocity layers. That amount of velocity layers and round robin lets you create realistic rolls, not availble on another timpani sample library.

Recorded in stereo, you have pan control on those mics in the GUI. 

 

contributor’s thoughts:

This set of 4 timpanis from Wavesfactory sounds amazing! The interface is no-nonsense – just 2 knobs to control the stereo width of the mics.

The instrument is laid out on the keyboard so that you can play each note with both hands making it easier to play.

Wavefactory’s prices are always very reasonable and for the price this is an amazing library!

Logic Pro X

by Jason Chapman on March 18, 2020
Few Digital Audio Workstations (DAW) have the included audio plugins, virtual instruments or additional content as Apple’s Logic Pro X. Logic is a composer’s or songwriter’s dream. It does do somethings differently than other programs and it has some old code hanging around such as the MIDI Transform and environment windows. Logic is highly capable [...]
