Reviews

"I bought IRCAM Solo Instruments 1 as soon as it came out. It was the solo instruments library that dared to go places that others dared not. IRCAM Solo Instruments 2 is the sequel that is somehow better than the wonderful original, and I can use my MPE controllers now. Unique!"

Simon Franglen

Grammy-winning and Golden Globe-nominated Composer & Producer
(Titanic, Avatar, Moulin Rouge, The Amazing Spider-Man, Se7en)

"IRCAM Solo Instruments has been my go to library of choice when making midi mockups of my chamber music compositions, as well as scoring media related projects. The interface is easy to navigate, and it also provides an array of options that are incredibly detailed and sensitive. The extended techniques that are available make the library invaluable. I highly recommend this to all composers."

Adam Schoenberg

Grammy-nominated Composer

"IRCAM Solo Instruments has this extra soul that differentiates it from the majority of the other soundbanks I use. A flawless quality, and an inspiration source I can not do without anymore!"

"This is a brave library that will resonate with anyone who needs high-quality acoustically derived off-the-beaten-track sample content."

"This is the best set of solo Classical instrument samples around. It truly is a dream come true, for at least this contemporary composer, but I’m sure for many others of us as well."

SoundBytes
