Just simply utterly ridiculous programming. The level of skill of this is just beyond anything I've heard!
Dominic Sewell, composer

Outstanding!
Samy Cheboub, composer and programmer

I've never heard [mock-ups] this good.

Mock-Ups
Programmed in a weekend in January, then fixed a few bits of grubby programming that were bothering me & re-uploaded.
Very quick programming test for my new template for 2024, blending VSeries instruments with bigger room libraries using Oxford Reverb. Blank version of this template free for members at my Coffee page, template with all instruments & plug-ins settings will also be available once I’ve finished it.
3rd and final mock-up experiment before I go back to work. I was curious to know how realistic Cinematic Studio Strings sounds in context at unrealistic speeds (so not just the 'actually playable' rapid notes like in Hedwig's Theme - there are loads of great mock-ups of that online using CSS & they sound fantastic to me).
Mock-up of the opening titles of Disney/Pixar's Monsters Inc. Oscar-winning music by Randy Newman, arranged by Ira Hearshen (I think)..
The second of six short Star Wars mock-ups: 'The Asteroid Field' from Empire Strikes Back. First 20 seconds is the concert version and the rest is the version used in the film.

Library Demos/Tutorials
Bach: Organ Sonata No. 1 in E-flat, BWV 525: i. Allegro.
Bach wrote his 6 Organ Sonatas as practice exercises for his son Wilhelm Friedmann, but they ended up being perfect masterpieces and are now generally regarded as some of the greatest pieces of music ever written.
An overview, 10 demos and 10 tips/tricks for Acoustic Samples' magnificent 'VHorns Saxophones' from their VSeries. I'm not an expert in saxophones or in jazz music by any means, but I've really enjoyed learning more about them since I bought the library last year.
Frederick Delius: 'To be sung of a Summer night on the water' (1917)
Transcribed note-for-note from the SATTBB vocal score for V1/V2/Vla/Vla/Vcl/Vcl, with some doubling on bass.
