Great sounds! Do you think you could upload the actual Polybrute presets you used? Assuming they aren't factory ones. I have a PB so I'd much rather buy the presets than samples for a synth I already have :)

[@sinewave9208]

would be dope to do a meet and greet with u in nash

[@cortoalunni923]

Great sounds indeed, very impressed by this beautiful gift, thank you very much !

[@beyondalldreams]

hey , I wonder what's difference between let's just say pigments and polybrute synths , I mean I know that one is vst and second is analog , but I mean a sound , why somebody would pick one over another

Venus, I just wanna say thank you for all your work in the music world, as well as doing your free plugin series. That series has helped improve my production game tenfold, and for that I gotta thank you again lol.

[@VenusTheory]

Ayyy thanks so much - really glad to hear the channel has been a helpful resource for you!

[@middaymeds]

The Euroburo is just unbelievably useful. Its potentially a game changer for anyone who has a couple semi-modular synths and wants to get more into the modular world without buying a whole rack and thousands of dollars worth of modules. The fact that you can use it as both an effects processor and a CV mangler at the same time is just so incredibly convenient.

[@frankjager1647]

SampleRobot is a hidden gem! It can also sample VST's, completely automated mind you. The only caveat it is HAS to be the top tier version for this. But it essentially means all of your favorite wacky synths are suddenly sound sources for a Kontakt library.

[@Grant82gc]

Yep, this is the biggest revelation for me with this video. I'm gonna start making some instruments !

[@eilrach299]

Cameron, you are a blessing to us all. Loving all your stuff and can't wait to try out this new sample library. Thank you so much.

[@UltraD52]

Thanks for another great addition to the Pianobook library. A couple thoughts... I think it would be nice to have the more distorted patches and the smoother ones separated in some way, even if by patch name (instead of just with numbers.) It's hard to know what they are by the current names you have. Also, if you ended up expanding on this, more of the less-distorted variety would be great. This is such a great sounding synth. Running through the Empress is a cool idea. More of that please.

[@OfficialStevenCravis]

I haven’t tried Decent Sampler. Does it let us Save As (presets) a customized name?

[@UltraD52]

@@OfficialStevenCravis Yes, there's a "Save current state" option

[@OfficialStevenCravis]

@@UltraD52 thank you!

[@samkenny3075]

This is fascinating! Never seen a sample library being created -- also, that instrument sounds fantastic! Gonna grab it

[@nuenn]

Saw you at pianobook as featured artist. Well earned, Cameron. And with this tut you inspire some more people to get into building sample libs on their own. Me inclusive. Thanks for the inspiration, again.

[@GarethFrow]

Thank you, looking forward to trying it!

Great! Excellent! Fantastic video! I always love your content, it feels like listening to a best friend (the one I have yet to meet in person). However this one is absolutely so above and beyond quality! Thank you for you work, kindness that come through in your videos, and your shared knowledge.

[@johnfehringer]

Still can't believe mustacheBoy has only 136K Subs. Tell your friends and sound design buddies there's a channel that consistently, and intelligently, works the magic to make a solid contribution to the community of music designers and sound enthusiasts. Thank you to Venus Theory.. enjoy every one of your uploads, even the rare times when the content is beyond my interest.

[@VenusTheory]

I mean honestly I can't believe I have 136k subs in general - KZbin has truly been a lifechanger for me and I'm insanely grateful to have found such an audience for the stuff I'm doing haha. Really glad you've been enjoying the channel so much though! Cheers! ☕

[@lisabethlawrence]

"and a light descended from the ups truck" love it! thank you for this library! i can't wait to check it out. As a musician and composer I can totally relate to how things do not usually end up as intended but even better!

UPS guy saved the day.

[@Lmachine1]

This cheered me up so fast this morning, I’m super excited to be able to use this! Thank you for existing and creating and sharing your work with us 😁

[@VenusTheory]

Enjoy!

[@eloravanwaldkatze4594]

awesome, I want to make one sample library myself too. bit of a wall between me and this goal, but I will try it. I love this Desent sampler.

[@VenusTheory]

Give it a shot! It's a lot of fun and not too terribly hard once you get the flow down. I may do a more detailed video in the future on how I produce commercial libraries, but we'll see.

[@hhal9000]

Thanks for the free sample pack and interesting description of how to go about making one.

[@TwoThreadsAhead]

You provide the best all round music production content on this platform imo, Not only are you educated and informative but you have a great sense of humor and provide quality entertainment value. The ' moustache fantano ' line in the intro fucking sent me

[@VenusTheory]

Thanks! Really glad to hear that - exactly what I aim for!

[@fozzee6999]

This is brilliant. Thank you so much. I'm composing for a Sci-Fi short film and this fits in perfectly.

[@VenusTheory]

Oh that's awesome - would love to check out the results when it's out!

[@Emily_M81]

omg thank you for sharing! I kinda hated making my first Decent Sampler instrument lol (using some old 00s era Virus samples). Sample Robot will make things so much simpler!

[@djofortunato5799]

OmG I was just playing the Polybrute at my local synth store, Control Voltage (if ever I. Portland, OR I *Highly* recommend a visit). & I agree it is Very possible to get completely lost in its seemingly endless sonic possibilities. Can't wait to try your newest Decent sampler & congrats on being a recent featured sampler

[@VenusTheory]

If I'm ever up that way I'll have to check it out - bit of a drive from Nashville though haha. Looks like a really cool shop! Polybrute is incredible. Only downside is how much of a lost-sleep machine it is.

[@fraicheness]

Finally someone showing a lil bit of process of UI design for VSTs! I love skeumorphism and it's also the reason why I use.... Reason. If anyone can pinpoint me toward VST UI design tutorials, I would greatly appreciate it. A VST where I loved the design for example was the beautiful Parafilter Sequencer v2 rack extension

[@qhilipgaming6573]

Wow! Watched your video and bought the Polybrute instead of a NI S61. My first analog synth after over 30 years using VSTs and digital synth like the Kawai K1 and Ensoniq VFX. But now it's going deep. Thank you so much for your inspirations!

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Beautiful pack, and great to hear about the process. You rock!

Thanks Cameron! Looking forward to checking it out. Have a great weekend :)

[@chromofonic]

Inspiring. June's Featured Samplist on Pianobook by Spitfire Audio, you say. WOW, well done. With 130,000 youtube subscribers, I would have expected them to crown you "samplist of the year". I am looking forward to your reviews of Spitfire Audio libraries tho. In the meantime, thanks for the inspiration. I am off to build a free synth from a 5$ instrument.

[@TheTheimpossible]

The Legend Speaks! Y'all are both amazing and I hope you have much happiness. :)

[@VenusTheory]

Ayyyy the legend. Haha well hey thanks so much. It was really incredible to be featured - definitely a highlight for me. I have a few of their libraries but haven't really thought about reviewing them too much as gear/plugin/etc reviews are a bit boring to me but perhaps I'll do some stuff showcasing it someday. Cheers! ☕

[@atimeofshadows]

Cameron, you are awesome. I have been watching your videos for over a year now and find them so helpful and cool and I love your dry sense of humour, not too much unlike my own!! I have all of your Decent Sampler instruments and love them all. I make Gothic Horror music as A Time Of Shadows and have found a lot of use from your earlier Decent Sampler instruments, but now you've made one that specifically has some darker sounds......Thank You, I will definitely be using this one too. Thank you for your beautifully well made videos and you awesome teaching method. Keep up the excellent work on your fabulous videos and thank you again for being you and being awesome.

[@johnsuggs3952]

Very nice. Extremely generous. There's a handful of content providers, that are actually must see content. Your channel is definitely one. My wife absolutely loves your whimsical sayings at the beginnings of your videos. Especially the grumpy mustach guy telling Un.....Audio to go F themselves. Excellent content as always and the sample pack is just the cherry on top.

[@caseylockwood5512]

Gaw damn, the production in your videos has gone absolutely through the roof. Love watching these in the morning while I eat breakfast. Question: what do I search to buy the flute at 0:40, because I play flutes and that one actually sounds pretty decent IMO.

[@VenusTheory]

Thanks so much! Videos take a TON of effort these days but I'm glad it shows. There's a ton of planning and prep for shooting but I think it's fun - good creative outlet when I'm not in the music making mood. The instrument at 0:40 is a Duduk - really beautiful instrument I always wanted to play. Only issue is that it's a double reed instrument so it's quite a challenge to play.

[@compucorder64]

This is great. As luck would have it, the two things I want to buy over the next year are ... Euroburo first (initially for my Microfreak). Then and a Polybrute, probably next year. Good shout on Sample Robot, I've been finding the autosample feature on my Akai MPC One really helpful. This looks even better for Kontakt/Decent library. Do you use any particular tools to navigate/browse/manage your whole sample library? p.s. please point SampleRobot at Microfreak into Euroburo next ;)

[@joshcjordan]

Appreciate the content you always put out. I am getting into music production and all of these sorts of videos makes it a LOT less overwhelming. What I also really appreciate is that you encourage experimentation. Feels like an eternal struggle to balance learning tricks in music production with not putting yourself in a cage. I like to learn common pitfalls and advice, while still getting great ideas on how to go off the rails. I guess in the end whatever sounds good is fine--but I also don't want my stuff to sound awful. Thank you again, I downloaded these samples they are amazing.

[@TempleGuitars]

This is amazing! Is the sound at 03:22 included in the sample pack? That's like Trent Reznor in a box!

I have a question for you what language do you use for coding in your sample libraries ?? cause even I'm working on some audio plugins and have been using JUCE frameworks developed by ROLI which is not easy to understand.

[@lardosian]

Can you chain effects with it, and is it easy to use, thanks!

[@bricelory9534]

@@lardosian you can, absolutely! It can do a great deal of unexpected things if you have different ideas....for instance, I made mine allow me to control my synth with my voice, then bring the sound back in to add reverb and effects, as just one of my presets, others I have 7 loopers sequenced to go at different rates for a weird glitchy delay effect, and things like that It takes some learning, but there are a lot of good KZbin videos teaching you the basics. And once you start using it, the UI becomes really intuitive - you just make connections by pressing the two parameters you want to be related (for signal path as well as modulation). Honestly I am amazed at what it can do for $400 bucks (for the pedal version, the Eurorack version is $600, which is still a really good deal!)

[@Initiatrix01]

Oooft that cheeky little dead limit baseline you played there has me hooked

[@torgenxblazterzoid]

Great stuff, Cameron. Thank you for all you do. Maybe you should host a show and tell where we all compose a two minute piece using a maximum of five patches from your sampler. Would be interesting ☺️

The mid lows feel a bit thinner than moog's mid lows, but great textures on those patches. I liked them one of them reminded me of a sound I heard in Anihilation a sci fi movie.

[@seedaudio5616]

This is fantastic stuff! You beat me to it Cameron! My Poly is all set up for doing a few passes into Sample Robot, which I recently discovered too. Can I ask, did you track the Poly with any modulation fx? I was thinking of setting the keyboard tracking to modulate things like reverb tails, and any other mods. Interesting to hear how you went about that.

[@Mikas_Emil]

Heads up: when changing presets in the top, some settings get stuck (a whole lot of reverb and or release) - which causes the presets to sound radically different and much louder than they do if I preselect them instead of using the arrows at the top in DecentSampler. I think you should look into that. Amazing sounds! but that GUI error really ruins the experience when switching presets. Maybe it only happens with me? I can send you a recording of it if you want. I use DecentSampler 1.5.9 VST3

[@VenusTheory]

Heyo! You may want to check that you're updated on Decent Sampler - I had the same issue on an older version. This library was developed on 1.5.12
