Upcoming Releases

PROJECTED RELEASES & APPROXIMATE STATUS

A NON-COMPREHENSIVE LIST IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER

  • Free Updates
    • Vista II – Small String Ensembles Lite v2.0 FREE CONTENT UPDATE – lots of new recordings as well as some improvements to the v1.0 initial release
    • Vista II – Solo Cello Legato [INCLUDES FREE CONTENT UPDATE] (latest revised version almost ready for beta testing)
    • Pacific – Woodwinds and Pacific – Brass updates (need to add small finalizations like conforming naming conventions & “info” descriptions to latest, more concise Pacific – Percussion standards, then ready for quick beta and release)
    • Pacific – Ensemble Strings (bug fixes, playability fixes, etc)
  • Other
    • Tidal Cinematic Percussion [FREE FOR OWNERS OF PACIFIC ENS. STRINGS] (still needs finesse and organizational work before ready for beta testing) – cinematic ensemble percussion library with comprehensive rep sampling, loops, addtl studio small perc. recordings, lots of dynamics & mic positions, and some alternative/creative drum combos.
    • Marshland Lite (needs another pass of finesse, organizational/naming convention review & conforming, then should be ready for beta) – experimental chamber film choir with up to 13 dynamics – primarily straight tone. While the focus is on extraordinarily-dynamic syllables and vowels, it branches into some quasi-aleatoric FX as well, including very dynamic gothic choir which is basically trilling the higher you push the modwheel up, “ghostly” suspenseful patches wavering in and out of key with tons of dynamics and multiple vowels, unmeasured repeating syllables (six options), percussive FX (including tongue clicks, claps, snaps, and stomps), clusters, whispers (including crescendo stuff), downers, risers, crossing/diverging FX, bonus material (that was perhaps re-recorded later) and more yet-unrecorded content including possible soloists… There is same-note rep sampling in the style of Pacific Ensemble Strings. Loyalty intro pricing details TBA.
    • Oceania III (on the back-burner right now until other projects further along — post-pro in-progress) – three different choirs in one (12 men & 12 women, 5 men & 5 women, and tutti 16 [8+8] in 8va) plus extensive multi-tracking for a more dramatic sound (altering both the singer vibrato style and even singer position during takes). More syllables than Oceania II. Syllables from the 12+12, 5+5, and tutti 16 sections all match each other. As usual, normal and -s releases. Heavily trailer oriented and dramatic. Release date not set. Planned loyalty intro pricing for Oceania I, Oceania II, and Pacific Ensemble Strings owners. Speculative unannounced addition as of early 2026.
    • Voyage – full orchestra project with a rougher and experimental edge. Recorded in the same space as Oceania I/I/III, Vista I/II, etc.. Loyalty intro pricing TBA.
    • Currents – acoustic source material and grungy but tight pulse toolsets, repetition-based sampling, stereo double-tracking and more, built from non-traditionally performed and recorded acoustic instruments with high frequency mics.
    • Multiple speculative expansion modules for Pacific [SPECULATIVE PROJECT] – looking at my informal work-in-progress concept list – Marcatos Pro, Shorts Pro, Action and Mystery Longs, at some point a chamber str module, a brass module (likely with horn legatos), ww module, and percussion module. The intent with these modules is affordable additions to the base library, filling it out. I’m also hoping to throw my new mics on the rig (while of course keeping the original close and far mics available still as legacy mics, for continuity).
