Hi!

Some may know I did a reorchestration for T2 to use with the Pinsound Board. It will be available soon via the Pinsound Community Forum.

The next project in line is Indiana Jones. After that it will be White Water. IJ is 30% done at the moment. It will be a almost perfect match to the original soundtrack Chris Granner did back in the 90's. Not just the OST cut but also all the FX and Fanfares redone in HD.

For White Water I contacted Chris to find out who was the voice of Wet Willy. It's actually Warren Davis who is best known for Q*Bert and other Videogames.

He is willing to rerecord all the speech for White Water. He asked for $100 expense allowance, which is an awesome offer. Since my reorchestration is completely for free (it will be around 200 hours of work because of programming instruments and using the real once like guitars, bass, drums), I wonder if some of you like to help me out with a small donation to pay Mr. Davis to cover the expenses.

I don't use a penny for myself on these projects. I do it for the community and for the fun.

If anyone likes to help me out, please contact me via PM.

I will keep you guys informed about the progress of the project.

Olli

Here is the List of backers (I'm thinking about a small reward for those who helped out):

Jam_Burglar ($20)
Dmod ($25)
Oyvind Moll ($55)

$100 Dollars collected! Awesome, THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH. This will all go to Warren Davis. If you still want to donate, it will be saved for future projects.

The Pinsoundboard is a replacement for your soundboard in many many pins (please checkout the Pinsound page to see which machines are supported).

You will be able to replace all the soundsamples (Music, FX, Singles, Speech and Jingles) with anything you like. For example: You can have the original soundtrack from the movies in your Terminator 2 pinball machine.

My goal is to reorchestrate the existing, original soundtrack/fx/speech/etc of the pinball machine in CD-Quality stereo sound. I'm a professional audio engineer and have access to very good equiptment.

All you have to do is get the board, load my soundfolders onto the flash drive, plug it in and go.
For stereo sound you will have to rewire the soundsystem and I also recommend a speaker upgrade (broadband speakers for the backbox). Pinsound hopes to offer you a complete plug and play set in the future for you to just plug in.

You can checkout my Terminator soundtrack here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2932654/T2%20Reorchestrated.mp3

ps.

rom support for the original sound rom files will be a feature. You can switch between multiple mixes via the volume control. If you have any question, please visit the pinsound webpage or hit me up.

For copyright reasons you can't listen to the samples on Pinsounds webpage anymore. These were just up for naming purposes. You still can get some of the legacy mixes on pinsound-community.org!

I was in France to meetup with the Pinsound team. This is a very very ambitious project and $400 is not very much regarding it's developtment time and what it's capable of. The board is made by 2 brothers, not a huge team. It was in developtment for years and still is. They try their best to keep the price as low as possible. It's a very advanced piece of hardware and gives you a EQ, Line Out, easy to use software and much more. That's worth the price alone! Actually my Subwoofer now reacts almost like a shaker.

People are willing to spend the same for a Color DMD (please don't get me wrong, I have two and I love them). After you buy it you have no way of changing anything you don't like about it... like colors that were chosen by the creator of the rom or even making your own color pallette for a pin that's not yet done. With the Pinsoundboard you can do whatever you want. You can use my reorchestrations (and those of other people) and simply replace what you don't like about it. You can play instantly with headphones if you want (it's awesome!).

I never thought how much impact the sound has on the game just until I had the board in my hands. When I was playing T2 with the OST I was blown away. Same goes for my reorchestration when you first hear everything in HD quality and Arnie is easily understandable (Thanks Joe Gaudet )

Just a reminder: This is my personal opinion and I'm not part of the Pinsound Team! So nothing of what I say is representative for Pinsound.

You can hear my Terminator 2 Sounds I made for them:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2932654/T2%20Reorchestrated.mp3
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2932654/T2%20Reorchestrated%20OST.mp3

Everything is new, including the Voiceacting made by Joe Gaudet.

I'm a musician for 15 years and a professional Audio Engineer for 5-6 years. I'm working with metal, punk and rock bands most of the time. So I will play all the instruments or programm them for the music. That's what I allready did for T2.

You can't pull single instruments from the rom files. What I did was: I had Wav files of the original Music/Speech/FX. I imported them into my DAW (Cubase 7.5). For the music I made clicktracks that matched. After that I started programming the drums like the original, playing bass and guitars etc..
Of course you could do everything with virtual instruments and I did use them here and there (not for guitars though). It's simply a matter of taste.

ITS A LOT OF WORK. It took me 200 hours for T2. You can hear both versions I did above. (OST and Reorchestration )

Exactly. Since I'm doing all the work for free I hope for backers to pay Mr. Davis. It's just $100, so not very much. It's not just about the speech. I will also redo all the Music and Fx. Don't forget you will need a Pinsoundboard to use them. I also recommend a speaker upgrade for Stereo 2.1!

They have videos for Taf and Tz around. You can listen to my T2 versions that I just posted

Post #6. Copyright issues. The only reason Pinsound had them online was for naming the events! Please go to Pinsound-Community.org to download the packs.

I do have the board installed.

I don't have the time for an extended review YET but might do it in the future.

There is no lag that I could hear and I'm pretty sensitive about lags.

The board is easy to install, it took me 3-5 minutes maybe.

You can of course replace the repeated clips with full songs. You can use multiple files PER music/speech/fx that will randomly selected if you whish (I used many many speechsamples for T2, like 3-5 for each callout!). You can replace everything with everything It has to be 44.1 16 bit wav for the moment but Pinsound is working on supporting other formats.

You can have everything in 2.1 (you need to rewire the machine obviously and the soundtrack has to be in stereo of course)

You have a dedicated 2 band EQ for each channel (Cabinet, Backbox) and volume control, loudness switch... everything is VERY EASY to use.

You have a lineout for headphones that can be muted when you plugin anything (if you want!).

The board itself is very clean and everything fits. The packaging is very good and comes with a quickstart manual. It comes with an adapter for WPC DCS and Dataeast including all screws, a keyring, manual, flashdrive, pinsound stickers and a nice little handwritten card by Timothee and Nicolas from Pinsound

At bootup you will hear some beeping. Right now the board takes around 15 seconds to boot (the Prototype took twice as long) and the booting time will be shorter in the future.

Romsupport is planned so you can use the original romfiles to play the original soundfiles.

The software does have some small bugs that Pinsound is aware of and they work heavily on it (nothing that disturbs the actuall playing).

AGAIN: I'm just a user, I know the Pinsound Team but I'm not the manufacturers' representative.

Thanks! I want White Water to be just as good or better. That's why I need to work with Warren Davis!

Music: Will all be redone with real and programmed instruments. Songstructures, tempo, pitch etc. will match. This will be the music as you know it... just with real instruments in CD quality.

Speech: Will be redone by Warren Davis. Nothing else to say. This will be like the original in CD quality.

FX: I want to match it as close as perfect to the original. I'm not thinking about changing but enhancing the sound.

As a good example of what I do listen to the T2 reorchestration!

No, I don't think that's possible as they don't use a soundboard anymore. It's all on one board and I think they're emulating the sound engine. Not sure though.

I don't get it to be honest.

So I thought you were asking to use the Pinsound Board with MMR by PPS for example.Right?

What's different about the sounds of the MMR? I thought they're the same as the original?

edit: I see they're uncompressed... that's nice. Still mono though.

Very much appreciated!

YES You can of course just put a blank file in there (not sure what happens if there's no file at all). BUT I'm not sure right now if the Sound (explosion 5 in the folders) is used somewhere in the game. That would of course mean it's missing there too!

I don't know the reason why these Systems arent supported but I guess the structure of these were WAY different than the supported boards. But that's just a guess.

You will be able to customize the sounds as you want. No limitations. If you look at pinsounds webpage, you can see the filestructure and you simply replace any file you don't like with anything you want. It's really THAT easy. If YOU don't like it, I'm happy you will have a way to make it the way you like it. That's what the pinsound board is made for. Now we just need a CPU Board that's just as easily modifiable

thumbs-up.jpg

$100 got collected. Big thanks to the backers. I will now prepare the tracks for Warren Davis so he can record all the vocals. Of course I'll show you examples as soon as I get them.

In the meanwhile, I'm working on Indiana Jones. Please check this link if you're interested:

http://pinsound-community.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=9

Guys, I'm really flattered by your support. Thank you so much!

Stern is not supported by the board I'm afraid. I don't own a Stern Pin but isn't there a software to inject music into the existing soundboard (maybe not compatible with this generation)?

I'm just making music. I'm not changing the music, I'm not making money on it. If I have to take it down... may it be. I don't see any kind of copyright infringement.

Yeah, I don't think this is any case of copyright infringement. I'm not hurting their business in any way or steal anything. And even if they want me to take it down: I can die happily because my projects are Chris Granner-Approved.

About Creature From The Black Lagoon: I think you are right. This pin definately suffers from very midi'ish sounds which is a shame. It's a great pin but I don't own it. So it's not on my priority list for now. That's of course not a NO NO NO. I might do it, but there are so many pins out there and I just got hit up on P-Roc projects that might be interesting as well.

The reason I do this has a very egoistic side of course... because I want to use my sounds and I'm happy others like them too

Thanks again for all the interest, you can always hit me up with question or contact Nicolas/Timothee at Pinsound, they're really nice guys.

I just wanted to let you guys know that the money and the files have been sent to Warren Davis and he will start working on it. As soon as I get something back I'll let you know and of course show some samples

Same goes for the Bigfoot Warren wasn't sure he did the voice for the Bigfoot. As the Bigfoot has the face of Mr. Nordman it's very possible he did the voice - but I'm pretty sure it got pitched afterwards.

Maybe someone in the forum wants to help out on the female voice and bigfoot.

I ask you guys and girls to be patient with this one. It will be a lot of work, I'm still finishing Indiana Jones atm. So this is not a matter of days but rather months (T2 took like 2 month from start to finish). I'm doing this in my spare time, I have a family.

I will update this thread with progress so you see I'm onto it

I'm befriended with him and talked to him on Facebook. I think he's rather busy with Alien right now

As promised:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2932654/Welcome%20To%20Wet%20Willys.wav

That's how it's supposed to sound. Thank you so much Warren Davis

The Spirit Of The Riverrrrrr: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2932654/Spirit.wav

Will do!

Me too!

TAF has been redone for the Pinsound Board! I don't see a reason for any lega problems as long as you're not making money on it or you're giving away whole tracks or something.

All my sounds will be available for free, yes. I couldn't charge for them without getting serious trouble. I guess PPS has the rights on them. Donations are welcome though, we're talking about 200+ hours of work.

Thanks man, it's very appreciated!

Thank you, too! Can't wait to start really working on it

I got 1/3 of the Wet Willy samples and they're spot on. Warren is very very cool to work with!

I got ALL the Wet Willy samples. All the backers might have the Speech Files if desired (I still need to cut them though). You could get your Pinsound Board allready and enjoy your White Water with 8-bit music and high quality speech, at least for Wet Willy. Still need to find someone to do the girl voices (anyone interested who has a good mic and a girlfriend that might do it?)

Music will take a little longer and I couldn't start yet as IJ isn't done yet and I'm waiting for a software update for the Pinsound Studio. It will be done, but I promised myself I wont hurry.

I might include 3 different versions - My own, one made by webdiddy and one by Warren Davis.

Indiana Jones needs to be finished first, though.

They (Chris Granner, Warren Davis and Dennis Nordman) don't remember. Yes. It could have been any of them or maybe Steve Ritchie or ANYONE else at Williams. But having these made by Warren Davis (and he pretty much nailed it) is a nice feature.

BTW: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qeeemeq5m4b98sm/White%20Water%20%281%29.wav?dl=0

As I said they're working on booting time.

I didn't make the TAF version but I know there are samples on the Pinsound site. Have a look on the blog.

You can start with your setup right away but it will be mono the way it's wired. For the full potential you'll have to rewire your speakers but it's not hard to do.

Wanted to let you know that I started working on the music.

it is very time consuming and all I can say is that it's done when it's done. 3 month maybe. Big plus is that speech is done by Warren Davis. There are some very difficult music tracks with many many different instruments. I will post updates as I did for IJ and T2.

I still need a female voice. I'd prefer a native speaker. Can anyone help? You need access to a decent mic (no headphone mic) and an interface with preamp.

Making some progress with the help of Chris Granner who pointed out some harmonies for me. Will post little clips pretty soon.

I've also cut and mixed all of the Wet Willy speech files.

I need several female voice samples from the game. The person doing this should be able to voice act a little. She doesn't need to sound exactly like the girl from the game but should at least try to.

You need access to a decent mic, pop filter and interface.

Ok, this is very very very early but I wanted to let you know that things are happening and give you a very short preview of what you can expect... most SFX is not done (besides those that are obviously Stereo etc.)

Let me know what you think!

https://www.dropbox.com/s/jhvjvb6e0ifgruk/White%20Water%20Preview%20WIP.mp3?dl=0

Thanks man! Yes, actually you pointed something out that's on my list. I think the guitars need more overdrive - not much, we're not talking about high gain guitars - but yes, they could be a little more agressive!

Btw... Drums and Bass are programmed on this one.

Well... the original sound wasn't terrible, it just had to be downsampled pretty hard, that's why everything sounds distorted. But... thanks for the compliment

@seshpilot

These are compressed, heavily with an 1176 and an LA-3A. More compression would actually start introducing background noise as Warrens records were made at home.

The reason they don't cut through is that ducking isn't set in this mix (it's a feature that's now integrated into pinsound studio).

Thanks for the info!

You can donate at any time via PayPal to o.carell (at) kabelmail(dot)de

All donations will cover future projects and grant early access if the donator wants

Take your time... this will take some time to be finished. People are constantly asking how long it will take... and I can't tell. A few month I guess.

Thanks to PinPeet for his donation!

Everyone who donates and allready has his Pinsound Board will get the voice files made by Warren Davis!

I will also collect a list with special calls sometime in the future.

The music will be the same as the original in speed, tone, pitch and everything. As far as possible this will be a perfect match in high quality!

So....

getting great Water effects for free is REALLY hard and a lot of work - and in the end, they never sound as great. So, there is a library called "Sound Effects Bible Water".

http://www.loopmasters.com/genres/46-FX/products/1436-Water?currency=eur

Is anyone around who could use this besides this one single project? If so, you could help me.
You buy this library, it's completely yours. I'll just borrow it so I can make sounds from it - for you.

I need your support to make this quality work!!!

Every donation counts of course!

If you want to donate : o.carell(at) kabelmail(dot) de

Every penny goes into these projects and not into my own pockets.

I'm at 30 euros now. Thanks to all the backers so far!

Glenn, that was very kind of you!!! Thank you so much.

All the donators can have access to the files at ANY time in the progess if they whish! Just contact me via PM.

Thanks again, I will buy the water package right away!

Here we go

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2932654/waterrechnung.png

Thanks again!!! This will be awesome!

It has and delivers greatly.

Here we go:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2932654/000212-whitewater_multi_ball.rar

This is a great example. The File White Water was the first one I did. I used samples I could find on the internet for free or ripped them from Youtube. Compare it to White Water 2 which I did with the samples from the pack. Loving it. Hope you guys hear the difference!

I just had many samples to make this. I'm really happy with the result!

I'm glad I could motivate you. About the Multi Millions... it's the original voice and not yet reorchestrated. This is still heavily WIP!

Got to donate the machine to me to make it happen. Sorry

I have nothing to do with the board itself, just making the sounds. Thanks for the support!

Product at different discounts? You get this for free when it's done. You have to get pinsound board to use this though. Since I don't sell it there are no discounts from my side

Scott, thank you so much. T2 is done in my books. I replaced everything there is and you have options to choose. Nothing left to do there.

I worked all night on wh2o and I tell you guys that Chris Granner is a musical genius. There is a lot of work to be done.

Haha, language barrier! Sorry!

Found someone for the female vocals and will announce her soon

CD's run at 44.1khz 16 bit. Pinsound supports wav so yes...CD quality in my mixes is guaranteed.

Nice information. I do think they used them mostly with dcs? Most sfx on wh2o is synth.

Soooo....

I allready finished 6 rafts and some country songs. I also did some SFX but not that much. The last week I was focusing on IJ to finally finish it and have it out of the way.

I also got very nice samples for the female speech although I feel it's not 100% there. Very close though and I hope she will give it another try when she finds the time in the future.

It will take some time to finish. There are so many tracks in many different genres. Not an easy task. Rock, country, bluegrass, hard rock. Besides that my only source are 8 bit mono tracks. Don't expect anything finished too soon. What I can promise is that it will be released and it will be finished. I will show something as soon as all the rafts are done which will be soon. I'm constantly working on it but there is no sense in showing every little step.

No chance. You'd need access to the source code to set volume levels to the different channels. All midi sounds are generated by one chip. I have access to the single music tracks. No sfx or speech involved. Listening to the music at half speed most of the time.

The first three rafts actually build upon each other. After that everything changes except the key it's played in. Still... This will be much harder to do than Indiana Jones or terminator 2 . I want to get it right so I hope people can wait for me. Since I want this for my machine this will happen. Be sure on that. Just a matter of time.

White Water isn't in the list (M1). Tried it with Fish Tales because it's the same era. You can't change the volume of single tracks.

Tammy Tuckey, daughter of Todd Tuckey, will be the female voice in my reorchestration for White Water!

She did a great job and I'm very thankful she helped out.

Making good progress. Hope to show something in the next few days.

Rockin' the Whirlpool... this one was fun: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2932654/Whirlpool.mp3

No chance to use melodyne on this one to figure out single tracks. Original music is in mono, I don't have access to single instruments/channels. No chance melodyne could help me out on this one. Love it to tune bass/vocals though

Thanks to GaryMcT for the donation. It's much appreciated!

Sure thing... there you go: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2932654/I%27ve%20got%20flashlights.wav

Musicians.... need your help deciding which instrument to choose for the Multiball Tune:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2932654/multibal__LEGACY__.wav

Please compare it to the Goldmine tune:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2932654/country___LEGACY__.wav

The instruments sound quite different, although they're in a similar style (Bluegrass/Country).

So for the Goldmine it was more obvious. Using Banjo, Violin for the lead, bathtube bass and a simple drumsetup. Now for the Multiball it doesn't seem as obvious.

It could be a Banjo (starting right from the beginning)... but the Lead that kicks in after a second or two... .it doesn't sound like a fiddel. Also the "Banjo" could be something else like a Guitar/Steelguitar. HELP!!!

God damn it. You're right. That's a problem as she isn't available for rerecordings any time soon. Damn.

Well... she could have had more than one flashlight

I'll give it a try.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2932654/I%27ve%20Got%20A%20Flashlight.wav

Spending 3 Minutes on it. Still hope she'll rerecord this one.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking but the actual fiddlesound (midi) in the Goldrush track sounds like a fiddle. The leadsound in the multiball music doesn't sound like a fiddle to me.

Yup, sounds fake. Won't go that route. BUT that's actually my smallest problem. Many tracks ahead that are so complicated it's not funny.

Cool. Give it a try. What do you use for it?

Give it a go. Looking forward to your results.

nice job, would you mind sending me screenshot of the project to see what you actually did?

It seems to help to be a native speaker. Great job, thank you again!

Good news. Not. PPS contacted me. You know what that means. I'll let you know if I can ever continue to work on this. Can't believe this.

All the information I could gather in 30 minutes are good for us. I don't think they (PPS) have a basis to actually pull me down. I'm not selling anything.

Thanks guys. I really want to continue on this

Hey guys,

you know what's funny? I've got thumbs up from Chris Granner (who actually wrote the music), Steve Ritchie (who used it), Dennis Nordmann (who also used it) and Warren Davis (who is the original voice of Wet Willy). I get PM's from all over the world. I couldn't feel better about my work.

I'll stop for NOW. We'll see where this is going.

Thanks for all the support.

Believe me... so much time spent on WH2O... haha... this is really really really sad and disturbing.

Of course. Money is involved. Until now no one was doing the work I did. Let's see if there will ever be an on the spot reorchestration with the narrators from yesteryear.

I'll ask you guys to stop conversating with PPS in my thread and make your own.

I don't want to get pinsound into this - yes. this was made to run on the pinsound board. but you still need the board. I'm not selling the boards, I'm not earning anything with the fact boards get sold because I do music for it. I just hate the fact that good people doing good stuff (and I don't mean myself right now) get stopped by doing something for the community.

I'm not sure I can even SHOW people what I'm working on. I just don't get how people can be like that. Sorry.

Everyone but you.

This thread is about my work as a musician/audio engineer. Pinsound are making money from their boards, not from my reorchestration. If my reorchestration WAS the reason for someone to buy the board: Cool.

Now get out of my thread.

To everyone else: This shit is over. Thanks to PPS I won't release anything or contribute any of my work I did in the past. As soon as possible all sources will take my work down - this is not in my hands. Thanks for all the support I got in the last few hours. Please close this thread.

Nope. Won't happen. I love the original tracks and especially Chris Granners music. He's a genius. Thanks though for the nice words!

Not Okay? You didn't even manage to say "Hello" or actually tell me your name in your first PM. I didn't insult you. I told you you gave me NOTHING that says that you actually own the rights on the music. You still didn't. All you did was threaten me. BUT: Neither you or I should take this into the forum. This is private and it stays that way.

I didn't think that someone actually would CARE that some idiot from Germany spents 600 hours to rerecord 8 bit music from 1992. Give me a break.

Dude,

I don't do this as a job. I'm not a native speaker so choosing my words is important to me and not possible on the phone. I don't want to sell my work. I wanted everyone to enjoy my sounds. People not even owning one of the machines I did had fun just listening to my reorchestrations.

This was my way of contributing to the pinball scene as I got so much help in the past - here and on flippermarkt.de when I was in trouble with my machines and needed support when I had no idea what to do.

I learned a lot while reorchestrating these machines so my effort isn't wasted. I'm just very very sorry for all the guys and girls who supported me so much on this. Please feel free to contact me whenever you want for a chat.

I don't think that anything on this will happen so please keep your hopes on this one low. I appreciate the support though. There is a small chance but I don't want to talk about it in public.

I hope so, too. Otherwise I'll have the only WH2O LE :DDD

You guys are welcome. Until the actual legal position isn't clear - I will not do that - releasing it I mean. Of course I will finish the tunes and use them for my machine.

Rick told me I could contact Roger Sharpe about the copyright problem. So I did and got a response. I'm not sure why I should have contacted Roger as he is not with WMS anymore, but I got a contact at Williams and good luck whishes for us all. What a nice person.

That doesn't mean I'm free to go or that our chances are ANY better.

I already talked to him. He can't help. He has no hands in the wms copyright atm. He told me to contact Williams directly and gave me the email and a name.

I continue my work. I won't share it though.

WHY would I give PPS my hard work for free so they can make money from it!?

Not even MMR compares in quality to my recordings. These are still the old files - just uncompressed. Of course they sound better - but they didn't actually enhanced them to stereo or anything (as far as I know!!!). I actually think that Rick could have benefited from actually talking with me instead of threatening me straight away (and I have proof for that).

I want to see if any mixes of the size I did them will be released by PPS or anyone in the future and here is the reason why:

If you have to pay an audio engineer to do 200 hours of work (and it's probably more!)... it would be somewhere between 7k - 15k depending on the studio and the name. The problem is: This has to be work of passion or it wont come out great or close to the original. I investigated for every mix. What was the original idea, who were the narrators, what instruments have been used bla bla bla. What would Chris do to them nowadays and so on. I did this because I LOVE pinball. I knew from the beginning I couldn't ask for money when I do this and that's fine because I'll do it anyway. I do it because I want it on my machines.

So... why would I give Rick 7000€ so he can make even more out of it? Would anyone of you do that?
And even though I don't have the license to distribute my mixes - they're still my work and my property.

I'm just hoping for WMS to say it's ok (if they CAN). If not, that's it...

Good points.

Guys. Don't overreact. As long as no one claims copyright issues with other mixes the board is everything but doomed. I'm in the focus because pps is a pinball company holding licenses. I don't think that Disney or universal or anyone is going into pinball forums to sue people because of copyright infringements.

I want to say thank you to all the community members. I'm overwhelmed by all the condolence.

PLEASE understand that I can't provide the files via PM or on any other way. I'm very sorry but I still hope this could have a happy end for us all.

Well... I wouldn't be so sure about that but we'll find out. Copyright is a very very complex topic.

The story is not over but this is a very very very complex topic. All the arguments make sense but I doubt they have any impact on the actual copyright situation.

In the meantime : I'm trying to find a VSTi that sounds like a fiddle. Very hard to do so that it comes close as it needs slides up and down and other effects. Not much is happening right now. Just very small steps so understand that this situation has been a huge demotivation for me and I need to find the spirit of the river to give it back to me (the motivation I mean )

Haha, that misfit fiddle is funny. "Rule #1: We made sure that the person playing the sampled instrument never played it before. Like... never...ever."

I don't think it will work

I just wanted to let you guys know that I didn't do much since PPS contacted me. I don't see a reason in hurrying right now. This will be finished some time but I'm really not motivated right now and I have a lot of studiowork anyway so... still looking for a fiddle though.

Cool, that guy is a genius.

MAAAAN OVER BOARD!!!

A teaser is for something that get's actually released

Thanks dude, still hope that I will be able to release it to the public. If not... Germany isn't that far away and there is actually a ferry between Kiel and Oslo
