While its primary use and design is for scoring applications, thanks to its full-featured mixer and proper microphone balance it excels in virtually every musical style!

Was €169.99 - NOW €69.99

I have their FlyingHand Percussion. That one is good. No idea about the mallets.
Btw. don't buy using affiliate/referral links.

Yes - please do explain. I post a very limited number of referral links and the small amount of revenue this generates is ploughed back into the hosting, advertising and other associated costs for The Samplecast YouTube and podcast show. The show receives no advertising revenue nor does it ask for Patreon donations or suchlike. Affiliate revenue keeps the show going - it's that simple.

I need a really good Vibes collection but can't find a single demo on their site.

I though that the vibes were covered towards the ens of the video. Was skipping on so I may be wrong. I do have Flying Hand and Mad, and given the quality and playability of those libs, I'd buy this. My only reason for not doing so is I'm already well covered Orchestrally and Jazz wise.

Yes, what is the thinking behind this? Just curious really.

Often products are "reviewed" in a way that enhance advantages and conceal known disadvantages.
By buying using affiliate links you encourage biased reviews of products.
That's why I recommend to buy using the developer's website without any 3rd party referral/affiliate links.

Thanks Piet! Those are great sounding vibes.
 
Really superb demos Piet (as always). Is the vibes demo "out-of-the-box"? It has some type of tremolo sound and I'm wondering if this is built-in to the samples or external processing. It doesn't sound like there is any pitch fluctuation but more of a tremolo so I assume this is not a "motor on" sound?
 
Thanks, Dave and Greg.

It’s been some time since I made these — March 2016, as audio illustrations for a review of Scoring Mallets I did for the little forum around the corner — but I seem to remember that, yes, a bit of Soundtoys tremolo (slow-ish setting) was added here and there to the Vibraphone demo, because the library doesn’t include ‘motor on’ samples, and me, I rather like a hint of motion in the sustained notes of a vibraphone.
Other than that though, these three demos present the instruments out-of-the-box: no additional reverb or any other external processing.

Thanks Piet, the Soundtoys tremolo is very effective for adding motion to the vibes. It actually sounds better than any motor on examples I can find on youtube! Thanks for the tip.

I agree that some of the reviews work that way but I do not think it's definite argument. It's just the way it is. If you want to find a flaw in a library you will always find it. I'd personally rather like to know what are the highlights not restrictions although having full informaton is always of more benefit. If you really pay attention to Reuben's reviews if something is bothering him in certain VI he gives some hint to dig deeper. Info he is publicing is always useful despite the fact I do not agree with him all the time. We can agree though that he puts an effort. Anyway I think that overally people like Reuben do a great job for the community and for the development of the VI market/technology. This area has still a lot to develop but already is offering so much that needs respect although it's also a business. Just please take your memories even year ago and we can see heavy progress.
I treat affiliates as a piece of the whole puzzle that just gets us one step further. I respect your point of view though.

Whether to choose the link or not is our personal decision. But man...there's no point for anti-affiliate revolt :)

I think our community is narrow, unique and at the same mature target that knows how to deal with these kind of decisions ;)

I should have mentioned how absolutely brilliant the writing is on your vibes demo Piet. I've come to expect that from you is my only excuse for not doing so.
