Gospel Musicians has released FM TiNES 2.0, which they describe as an exhaustive 30GB sample library representing a vast collection of nothing but FM electric piano sounds. Here's the details that they have supplied...
What's New in This Version:
• 30GB Library Dedicated only to FM, Dyno, Crystal, Bell, Pads and Piano sounds (20GB Lossless Compression)
• 12GB of 300 Brand New Sounds (Version 1 had only 77 Sounds)
• 220 Brand New Presets with automatic random preset generator
• New Warm Detune to be able to layer a copy of the same sound and detune and stereo spread for super stacked EP sounds.

• New simple Extraction Tools that allows you to extract the samples with a single double+click. No more RAR file issues

• New Dice Random option that allows you to randomly select new sounds for instant variations and thousands of preset possibilities.
