Sonic Reality has announced a new series of highend
sampled instruments called the
Infinite Instrument Series which are designed to work with streaming samplers
such as Kontakt/Battery, Giga, HALion, EXS and more.
Sonic Reality tell us that the multi-sampled instrument collections are dedicated
to capturing the ultimate in realism, dynamics, expression, brand variety and studio mic options in specific groups of
instrument types. Each title comes on one or more DVD discs and contains large-size instruments supported by popular
software samplers such as Native Instruments Kontaktâ„¢, Tascam GigaStudioâ„¢, Steinberg HALionâ„¢, Apple EXS24â„¢ and
more. The samples are recorded in 24-bit resolution in the best studio environments with top quality Class A and Tube
Mic/Line preamps and mics, exemplifying the purist approach, say Sonic Reality, of capturing the best acoustic/electric sound without
processing so that the user has full control over the performance and production of the instruments within the virtual
studio environment.
The first releases from the
series are the Infinite Drums collections which are focused on natural acoustic
studio drum kits formatted as playable multisamples (no loops). Three
titles have been announced at the show.
