Uh... the "steel guitar" patch from the Roland JV series was all over a string of mainstream "MIDI R&B" hits during the last 10 years... and I suppose that patch may have been derived from a sample CD at some point?

[southas]

hmmm maybe, maybe not?


Lets focus on sample cd's :)

(1) Downtown Strings on Natalia Imbruglia's album (White Lilies Island). Track 5 or 6 at the very begining.

(2) Most Hiphop tracks uses Syntec Super Strings EMU sample CD for strings (mainly Marcato Strings patches)

(3) Bomfunk MCs - Freestyler famous steel guitar lick is from Interface Guitars sample cd (Big Fish Audio)

...but there are a lot of them. :)

A French artist called Zazie used jazz flute gimmicks coming from "On A Jazz Tip". You probably don't know her, but she's very popular here ;)

I can't count the number of times I've heard orchestral phrases coming from "Peter Siedladjek's Symphonic Adventures". Particularly in South Park !

A very popular tool in TV industry is also Spectrasonics' "Stylus RMX". Listen closely to the background ambient tracks in CSI, it's often used.

Also, particularly in movie trailers, I've noticed a number of times the use of a 5/4 signature percussive track from EW's "StormDrum". (I think the preset is called Cathedral, I'll check at home).

Cole Sear: I hear sampled phrases.
Malcolm Crowe: In your dreams?
[Cole shakes his head no]
Malcolm Crowe: While you're awake?
[Cole nods]
Malcolm Crowe: Sampled phrases like, in graves? In coffins?
Cole Sear: Playing around like regular riffs. They don't hear each other. They don't know they're sampled.
Malcolm Crowe: How often do you hear them?
Cole Sear: ALL THE TIME.
