Synclavier Sounds

Bitley has introduced Way Beyond Synclavier for Reason and Kontakt. They tell us that the first two products in this new series of sounds are now just out. Sounds range from basses to strings, from synth sounds to drum samples and the company says that two demo tracks are available online; the first track has a Scritti Politti feel and the second one an Art Of Noise feel. Here's the details direct from Bitley:

Way Beyond Synclavier is the follow-up to the success with the Fairlight libraries and many customers have also asked us to present something similar based on the Synclavier. These libraries were based on samples of the Synclavier II and the Synclavier 9600.

Way Beyond Synclavier 1 - Synthesizer Kings introduces our amazing Synclavier synthesizer sounds with entirely new programming, patching, combinator design and more. The soundbank weighs just below 360 Mb and contains 231 NNXT patches / 227 Kontakt patches, 700 Mb of samples, 18 FX patches, about 120 bonus patches for rack extensions (A series, Ivoks, Polysix, Predator, Pulsar, PX7 and Revival), Midi out templates for Unitor 8 / AMT8 as well as 9 carefully designed and programmed Combinator patches. All instrument samples are perfectly looped and everything was multi-sampled at 16/24 bits at 44,1 Khz.
The sample content is much larger than the patch content, so there is plenty of room for creating even more patches. This will be done and released as free updates.

The second Synclavier sound pack comes with 50 highly versatile patches - a 'bread and butter' collection of sounds to please any taste. Standout sounds are the Klik Synbas patches; excellent house music friendly synth basses; acoustic sounds like strings, pianos, harp, guitar and various bell sounds. This package is smaller than volume 1 and thus also comes with a smaller price.

Way Beyond Synclavier 1: $119
Way Beyond Synclavier 2: $19
