I am pleased to announce that the Freiberg sample set has been just released.
Unfortunately, there are no demos which would present the final version. I hope to add some later. All the demo pieces on my web page are recorded with a preliminary version of the sample set. However, new short staccato releases were added to the final release, which greately improve the behavior of the short staccato notes. To get the idea, you can check the Listening Test web page, where the same recording was performed again using the final release of the sample set. Therefore, you can compare the testing pieces no. 3 and 4 with the newest recordings to hear the difference (especially heard in the quick chromatic passages). Anyway, the best way how to test the sample set is to order the demo version package, since only when you play the sample set yourself, it gives the complete idea of how it is done, surely better than any possible demo performance.
The demo package is distributed on one DVD (it is impossible to download it since it is one full DVD) and it contains 5 selected stops (Principal 8, Octava 4, Octava 2, Mixtur, Trumpet of the first manual) with slightly limited compass (without the lowest octave). This was necessary since I needed to fit everything on one single installation media and I still wanted to give as much stops as possible and all the versions of the sample set. So, these 5 stops are available in the dry, wet direct, wet diffuse and surround version in the demo package! Therefore, it is the best to test it to make good decision which sample set version (if any) is the most suitable for your particular setup.
All those who responded to the Freiberg Listening Test received already the e-mail message informing them how to get the 10%-20% discount which they deserve. If such message did not reach your mail-box, please, send a reminder to me. Thank you.
