Very convincing programming! Is this based on ROM samples or did you use custom samples? Would you consider sharing the program at the "Mastering V.A.S.T." or the sonikmatter forum?

@strogon42 Patch uses a ROM sample, with just little bit of personal flavor. I will share it, why not, just give me few days to get back to my home, i am traveling atm. Glad you like it!

ARRRGHHH!

Just can't get string sound as good as this out of my kurzweil, and it's supposedly newer model than this... I suck =(.

Any tips? I recon this uses the old kurzweil stereo strings sample? But how do you make the FX sound so damn good...

Damn... it sounds better than the original, quite an achievement. Till the day I saw this video I thought there is no way to make the kurzweil strings sound as good as korg's in this type of stuff.

@Keyguya Send me you email on PM and i will send you the patch. It is my own creation :).

[MeredithWaters]

Beautiful choice! Sounds incredible on your Kurtzweil. Had to listen to it several times!

I play keys too and would love to get the K2661 - yet it's discontinued. What do you think of the new Kurtzweils?

[smiljanicn]

Any Kurzweil is a monster, you can't make a mistake! Cheers.

Hi Smil!

Can I ask you a favor??' Could you share your custom string patch with me please? I can send you, in exchange, a custom Orchesta HIT I sampled from my Motif ES (Much better than the sucky preset of this beast)
