Anyone know a sample library that has these instruments?

Hey Donnie!

Remember me? I emailed some suggestions on your site about the library you just mentioned quite some time ago. How is it coming along? Will it feature the Space Bass as well?
If you\'re looking for some mean chinese cymbal scrapes (like the one I mailed you), give me a shout! http://www.northernsounds.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/smile.gif
Anyway, looking forward to it; when do you expect it to ship?

Kind regards,

Joris de Man

Not to sound overly enthusiastic, but when is it due out?

Yeah, I know, I asked that question a few days ago!!!

Hey Donnie and everybody!
Sorry about the dumb question, but what is a space bass? And what about a bowed saw? Oh well.

Later

Russ,

Thats not a dumb question at all!

A \"space bass\" is a steel instrument developed by Constance Demby, http://www.constancedemby.com (\"http://www.constancedemby.com\")

You can see pictures of it and actually hear it played at her site.

Bowed saw is actually a pretty common percussion effect. Think of a long saw being bent and hit at the same time.

I also just obtained about 12 circular saw blades ranging in size from 5-18 inches that I will be recording also.

This one is going to take awhile since it\'s one of those libraries where you add to it as you go so I don\'t really want to give a date yet as it would be premature to do so.

Donnie
