(Moved to the right forum)

Looks like the days are numbered for sample based hardware synths like the EMU range etc.

How can a 32MB sample set compare with 3.7GB, 1,000,000 different possible permutations and 32-Bit processing.

Looks mad and the demos on the web sound like something else.

Anyone tempted ? Had a play ?

atmosphere is a bag of shite .. err .. a 6cd set of samples that comes with a sample player as a vsti.

the synth part of the vsti isn't up to much - you get two sounds per patch and for each you can do some tweaking but not enough, i'd rather get the samples themselves and stick them in a proper sampler or vsti like umm, delta? i think that's one where you can use samples as oscillators.

the sounds themselves are good, but in a sort of 80s digital ambienty pad way. the guy (eric persing) did a lot of voiceing for the D50.

overall? i reckon great sounds but crap synth.

oh, btw it's not all late 80s pad sounds, just that's what struck me first. there's other types and some leads and bass on it as well but i haven't heard them.

as for absynth, i'd get that over atmosphere any day, absynth or fm7 and a couple of sample cds and you're landed. of course it would cost more but you could do a lot more too.

You'd do better w/ Eric's Distorted Reality series & a sampler, those sounds make Atmosphere sound tame.
