NST Instruments

Magenta is a Google Brain project that has created something called NSynth which seems to be extracting the audio DNA from samples and then mixing it all together in a user controllable synth. While I can't give you the synth (it is highly confusing) which will hopefully someday come out as a VST, I can apparently use the NSynth Dataset to create more traditional though possibly funky sounding instruments.  I've finally added in a Reverb to the GUI as well and thanks to my friend at VST4Free for the background image.
These use the latest version of Maize Sampler and should be compatible with both VST 2 & 3. They also use the new ADSR controls from Maize and should work better.

NST Pianos       Win 64   Win 32     Mac VST   Mac AU

These are 5 Acoustic Keyboards which are pianolike at any rate. They are called up from a single instrument sort of like a mini-romper.

Sample Science Player is out

I'm gonna break from my practice of using this blog to post only my own stuff because I wanted to mention that the endlessly cool Sample Science has issued the Sample Science Player.
It is totally free though you can slip him a couple of bucks if you like.

Sample Science Player

Lots of Soundcloud Demos.

Note I had nothing to do with this, I just think its really cool.
