I'm having some physical issues with my arms and shoulders (soft tissue damage, it will heal) and a bit fried mentally, so I'm taking a break or at least slowing down a lot on instrument making. Thanks so much to everyone who has tried my little instruments, all the folks who made a gave away all these PD and CC samples and the cool folks I've collaborated with. Thanks Matt! Thanks Audiosex, its a fun and wild and wooly gang here. The internet equal to a wild west bar, you never know what's gonna happen or what they put in the drinks but its always memorable.

My two basic goals were to create a Kontakt instrument for every one of the 128 GM sounds, with over 350 Kontakt instruments that is covered, and to create totally free VSTis of orchestral and band instruments for folks just starting, done thanks to Sonatina samples and others in Maize.

Hopefully I've contributed to the community and been a positive type, though I've certainly made mistakes in both instruments and words that I would like to have back. Anyway I hope I've made someone's music better somewhere along the way.

Thank you bigcat1969,
you`re just amazing! All these free instruments ... it`s incredible, incomparable ...
I`ve been thinking many times what a crazy pace and how you make a living being so busy all the time.
Health is the foundation of a good life, nothing else could be more important.
Get well soon.

 

Wow bigcat really sorry to hear about your health issues. Thanks so much for all the amazing stuff you've given away for the good of musicians everywhere. We all are really grateful for all the immense time and effort you've put into this. It's also been fun working with you on a project and hopefully we might collaborate again in the future. If you still want to drop by and hangout remember there is Dragon Naturally Speaking software where you can use your voice to type and make minimal adjustments to some small mistakes here and there. We'd love to hear from you again even if not when you're posting another of your great free instruments. I wish you get well soon mate. It's been a blast.
