The Best Of Bolder double CD ROM was released for Gigastudio in April of 2002. It consisted of choice
Material from previous Bolder libraries. This volume is a continuation of converting that library into natively programmed instruments for NI Kontakt and the Apple EXS 24. Other volumes that have already been converted
This CD features 2 contrasting grand pianos: a Yamaha “C7″ and a 9′ Steinway “D.” You want it dark? You’ve got a Steinway. You want it bright? You’ve got a Yamaha. Each piano was recorded in stereo at mezzo forte and fortissimo dynamic levels.
The Yamaha is indeed a bright instrument, however it is VERY rich sounding. The mezzo forte bank is very smooth and warm in nature. It works beautifully on a classical or new age piece of music. The fortissimo bank is very bright and could cut through a brick wall in a mix, great for rockers. “Both pianos were recorded into a GRACE DESIGN microphone preamp (handmade in Boulder, CO). The Grace preamp is extremely uncolored and clear as a bell.
A most unusual sample set to say the least… Who else has sampled slate rocks Use this bank to add a unique sound to your percussion tracks. Or if you are working on a sound track with a Flintstones type quality these will do nicely!
A beautifully sampled set of ethereal copper Wind Chimes. All 6 chimes are sampled in 3 articulations – with a rubber mallet, a wood “beater” and wood stick hits. Also included are Wind Chime atmospheric samples, some of which were processed with Granular Synthesis for an other-worldly quality. Programming includes velocity cross faded articulations, layered pads and flexible key mapping.
The Granular Selections from the B.O.B. disc centers around a software-exclusive processing technique called “Granular Synthesis.” While other forms of synthesis are prevalent in nearly everything we hear these days, Granular, with its ground-breaking algorithms and outlandish DSP capabilties, offers the musician/producer a galactic palette of sounds not previously available.
This collection is the same set of samples which were presented in “The Best of Bolder” originally in GigaStudio format. However this sound set was never “natively” programmed in Kontakt 2 (or any previous version of Kontakt). These same samples were used to create “Crystal Voices” for the Yamaha Motif ES.
The idea was to sample 3 different members of the hammered dulcimer family which gave me a wide pallette of tonal colors to work with. From Volumes 1 to 3 we move from dark to light and big to small.
![Boldersounds - Thumb Piano KONTAKT Apple EXS24 [Free]](http://biopixmod.com/view.php?filename=83thumb_piano.gif "Boldersounds - Thumb Piano KONTAKT Apple EXS24 [Free]")
This thumb piano (also called Kalimba, Sansa or Mbira) comes from a family of instruments originally from Africa. The range of this particular instrument is 2 octaves plus a major 3rd. It was sampled with both plucks from the flesh of the thumb as well as the finger nail of the thumb for a brighter sound. Also each sample zone has 3 round robin samples assigned to it. So if you play the same key 3 times in a row, each time you will hear a different sample.
Here is a lovely 2 octave toy piano which is chromatically sampled in stereo at 24 bits with plenty of tonal character to spare. Key release sounds have also been sampled for each key and can be controlled via your modulation wheel (cc#1) .
Various filter settings are also routed to your mod wheel for EQ flexibility.
This is a harmonica in the key of A. It is a 10 hole harmonica which gives you a different pitch on each hole depending on whether you are blowing in or out (drawing or blowing).

This disc is different from the original Eclectic in that it has grown to twice its original size! This “first child” of Bolder Sounds has finally received the V.A.S.T. programming which the Kurzweil series deserves as well as 350 MB of pristine samples. New samples range from Uilleann Pipes and Bagpipes to exotic percussion loops and the evocative Duduk. This disc is everything the title implies and more.
