Within about an hour, I had two starts to tracks that I really like. On one, I had a gong/bell sound very much like a key sound in a popular piece from the Twin Peaks TV show. I like the controls and interface. It's great for tinkering. I would like to see them add a way to pitch down the synth oscillators in steps. There is a pitch control section but it is designed for modulating the pitch and the pitch parameter doesn't seem to have a way to step down or up by half steps. I might be missing some way to do it. But the quality of the sounds and the nice selection make me not worry to much about the pitch adjusting.

a big upgrade from Half Blood
It is like day an night. Halfblood 2 is a very nice NI instrument. Fully featured, easy to use, and sounds great. I will invest some time to find the sounds that I can use in my productions. A considerable value.

It's a strange and charming sound.
It's a strange and charming sound.
I'm interested in folk music, medieval music, and use it to recreate that sound.
It is a valuable sound source in that sense because it is different from a beautiful sound and an attractive sound.

original and ingenious sounds
Nice surprise for me ! I love the way they play the intruments in strange ways resulting in mysterious and sometime scary sounds that perfectly fit my style of music. I just regret that the intrument is not full NKS.
