Checking Out: Impressionism by Spitfire Audio

[@solyarisoftware]

Hi Don, Thank you so much! I truly appreciate your extensive performance sessions and detailed reviews. They always give listeners a genuine opportunity to appreciate the sound of what you play. It’s highly valued! Regarding Impressionism, I find myself aligning more with your critiques than your positive remarks (you’re being kind, as always). For the price, I would have expected something even more configurable ancd more clear in the GUI. From what I understand, it’s not possible to assign a specific instrument to each of the three parts, and I feel it could be more precise and “navigable” in terms of instrument selection. It would be great to have a more semantic approach, perhaps by grouping instruments (winds, brass, strings, etc.). Conceptually, I think the idea behind impressionism is good, and I assume the sample engine under the hood is well-executed. However, it feels somewhat like a “demo” - both in the sense of a product showcase and as a tool for composers. I hope this doesn't sound too negative, but with Spitfire, I feel more inclined to be critical compared to some of the smaller, single-developer libraries you’ve reviewed in the past, which often achieved more impressive results. Thanks again for your work. By the way, I also shared a more detailed comment on Spitfire’s original video. Best regards, Giorgio

Thank you! That was quick... the library was only released (checks calendar) yesterday?

This sounds beautiful; The interface reminds me of "Cinematique Instruments"; the fluttery swarms get old kinda quick.
