There’s a reason I spend so much time making demonstration videos for my keyboard sounds.
Buying sounds for a synthesizer isn’t quite like buying a physical product. You can’t walk into a music store, try every sound in the collection, and decide whether it’s suitable for the songs your band plays. And descriptions such as “authentic vintage sounds” or “professional-quality patches” don’t really tell you very much. You need to hear them.
That’s why I regularly publish video demonstrations of the cover sounds I’ve developed. I want you to hear how the sounds work in the context of the actual songs, and whenever possible, demonstrate how the different keyboard parts are arranged and how the sounds can be controlled during a performance. I don't do any audio processing or add any effects post recording. The audio outs of the keyboard go directly in the recording software and played as I perform the song.
I also make the complete song lists available so you know exactly which songs are included in each collection. Some of my libraries might contain sounds for songs you’ll never play, while others might cover a significant portion of your band’s current setlist. I’d rather you know that before purchasing.
Have a listen to the demonstrations, go through the song lists, and decide whether they’re useful for you.
