[@FernandoDCDuarte]

Free, quality instruments, heck yes!!

[@josiasgaspar6233]

Guys I`m producing an 80's song with classic synths and other few free VST and I'm loving the result! Thanks so much LABS!!! Love ya!!

[@rodterrell304]

Heck I need to go back my roots and produce some 80's tunes again.

[@AlexPresa]

Labs is the best, making all these free and beautiful sounding patches. Incredible work to everyone, can't wait to try it! :)

[@SeanofAllTrades]

This is LITERALLY exactly what I needed right now. Thank you LABS.

[@CJMusic2]

I use your sounds in virtually every backing track and piece of music I create. They're brilliant and I'm very grateful for what you do for the music community. Thanks LABS! 🎉

[@nickpmusic]

Thanks for free quality products Spitfire. :)

[@RJ1J]

Spitfire really are the best. They make expensive plug-ins for professionals, but then offer loads of fantastic, high-quality libraries for free, to semi-professionals and amateurs.

[@TraxtasyMedia]

FOR FREEEEEEEEE. Man for free and this is most apprecitable thing on this planet, that the quality is so awesome and also comfortable to use for anyone except studying a plugin and figure out what works and what doesn't like Kontakt...

[@josiasgaspar6233]

Oooooohhh myyyy goodness!!!! Unbelievable it for Free!!!! So so so beautiful!!!!!

[@jimmywellington]

LABS is amazing. I'm working on an album, and I have 5 songs written so far, and I'm pretty sure I use something from LABS on each one so far.

[@JeiShian]

You're a gift from heaven❤. Love your demonstration and the harmonies too🎉

[@heatherbuechelartistry]

I'm so very thankful for all you do and I love these walk through's they are so inspiring.

[@andreaswolff195]

[@juliansolo1825]

Oooowww, it's always a pleasure to see Oliver playing chords on the fly

[@irbomusic]

Oliver is an amazing showcaser

[@mikeymoo71]

Cannot wait to try it out, sounds incredible! Thanks again for another amazing Bank! Still can't believe it's free! 😁

[@sarahlorienphotography]

Your enthusiasm is contagious! Great work, thank you.

[@madulone]

"The Banker" sound is amazing! Massive sounds for a free plugin! Thanks you for your work!

[@composermalte]

WOW! :O : D Labs is incredible. That's already known but that they always trump the project they did before is just simply stunning! Thank you so much! : )

[@Pablo_Anunnaki]

Thanks for giving us this instruments. When rich, we´ll pay you back.

[@mmdagus3973]

LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

[@key4fun370]

Super Sounds!

[@mrdngm]

Brilliant! Thank you!

[@WinItReigns]

Free LABS has always encouraged me to spend my money on expensive libraries. SPITFIRE is dedicated to its craft. Thank you

[@BluntFarce]

I use the FREE LABS collection(s) more than things I've paid for - great stuff.

[@GBSWorkshop]

Finally! And me studying Alchemy to learn synth sounds I want... Thank you🌺

[@ThaAleksaSmith]

Amazing I was waiting for these! Thank you spitfire you guys are the best ❤

[@LessLax]

Gosh guys, that's amazing! Thank you so much!

[@hotsauce1176]

That dust collector surely has personality! - Thank you so much for these.

[@brightonmischief]

Thank you so much for all these great plugins!

[@TraxtasyMedia]

presets not plugins :)

[@jimsanger]

Really rich and full sound from this

[@VEsound]

It sounds really good! Thanks Spitfire Audio

[@BrandanLee]

The Dust Collector, The Banker, and Digital Control are baller af and I can't wait to dig into that. Gonna disappear into those for a week.

[@fabian.go.]

Thank you very much for this!!! It's great!!!!

[@sandilesihlangu3446]

This unlocked my inner geek🤩

[@telmwilson2167]

Sounding very good, cant wait to test these!

[@KeithMcCoyMusic]

Sound great! Thank you 🙂

[@gregrodrigueziii8075]

I was having a hard time for a movie I was scoring. It was for the end scene. Ive used spitfirelab just to get whatever. Then magic came out!

[@julsd6009]

this is kind of content musicians need everywhere at all times. you guys are doing the world a huge favor

[@teenageslaves]

Labs is a godsent!

[@alexdaneau186]

Thank you.

[@AndromedaX8]

Really awesome! Thank you!

[@mybachhertzbaud3074]

Spitfire is batting a thousand.😁🎵🎹🎶Play On

[@gjarvis29]

Awesome, thank you!

[@matusbartko2824]

Very nice sound!

[@rodterrell304]

I have an old Oberheim Matrix 1000 synth module that has old sounds like these, I just need to learn how to sample it ha ha .

[@LABS_ONLINE]

awesome!

[@entertainer9076]

Awesome

[@777Witness]

Sounds great! A bigger collection of analogue synths as a paid version would be great!

[@ivanmisurecmouseproduction493]

Andrey, try some Soundpaint libraries🙋…

[@777Witness]

@@ivanmisurecmouseproduction493 Soundpaint is great, but this product has a certain viby warmth that is absent in Soundpaint analogue synths. They are more about Roland and Prophets sounds pallette from what I heard.

[@jeffbrannon3605]

Another great labs product. Just one question though about Labs - how do I save a preset? There is a load and clear, but no save button.

[@qomplex]

Very nice instrument!

[@beatz04]

What if you wanna use the mod wheel for modulation ?

[@JostSchwider]

👍 - _also_ for the YT algo! 😊

[@alessandrofantin]

Good job

[@theperry00]

love the Labs ! what is the cool little white midi controller w/ fades & knobs you are using please, looks very handy !

[@rickysld]

Looks like the korg nanokontrol 2, pretty small but surely handy midi controller with assignable faders. I've got the studio version which has longer faders for better control as well as it being wireless and having more assignable buttons. I can vouch for the quality, pretty decent brand if you ask me.

[@FireAngelOfLondon]

It's a Korg NanoKontrol 2. I use one and I recommend it, it's small so it's ideal for use with a laptop to offer you a portable setup or if you are looking for a way to save space. You can get the NanoKontrol Studio mentioned by Ricky AstrL which is bigger - though still fairly small and very portable. If it matters to you - it doesn't to me - they are also available in a range of colours if you shop around. Colours other than black & white can be hard to find and are often overpriced.

[@thegroove2000]

Sounds good.

[@markus10374]

So good i love it 👏👏

[@ayCLAVITO]

YES!!!!

[@music_creator_capable]

Cool!

[@dominiquegourdier2101]

Que celui qui n'aime pas passe son chemin. Pour les autres, l'avantage est que c'est gratuit.

[@michelleparsons9881]

Any plans of adding a Roland D50 to the mix eventually?

[@kol628]

hey to my more experienced producers, what is that white rectangular controller thingy top left of the keyboard? And what does it do? Thanks. It looks useful.

[@LaCremeBeatz]

Fire ❤

[@loalrecords]

wow dream room.

[@dafingaz]

Let’s go!

[@dathandsometroll1852]

Can I make presets by any chance?

[@harrycash8713]

I'm trying to install with Ableton live lite 9 and cannot find the plugins folder and do not know how to get it functioning any help would be appreciated

[@64guatemala]

Hi, Oliver. Hope you are well 🙂. Hey... Just outta curiosity, do you know what particular reverb is used in the plugins.

[@Spoolz07]

Can anyone recommend a good MIDI expression controller to use with the LABS suite? I want use orchestral string and brass sounds, so I need an expression controller for intensity as well as volume. I'm using Pro Tools 12.8.3 on OSX 10.13.6 High Sierra, Focusrite Clarett 8Pre via Thunderbolt. Any suggestions gratefully received!

[@neeraj_gk]

Crazy

[@badinibeats5939]

i see you have a mininova in some prime real estate do you like it i have one and love the wavetable pads it makes

[@Tyrell_Corp2019]

I've spent a few grand on Spitfire and love the labs stuff too. (Kind of like the remnants and fun experiments of the paid-for-libraries). However, I'm going to put out a request: Please get a smoother mod-wheel experience. Many times, using the mod-wheel as we see here, doesn't go as smooth. I find a lot of hiccups between transitions. I suspect the samples are out of alignment or there aren't enough layers? In any event, this need to be tidied up. Looking forward to the future. Love this new freebie! ✌

[@pedromax113]

This is awesome! Does anybody know what is that little device with the sliders on his left called?

[@AutPen38]

My eyesight is terrible, but it looks like a Korg nanoKontrol 2.

[@fritsvanzanten3573]

I think it would be useful to know what preset was made with what synth.

[@fritsvanzanten3573]

Or will there be a competition?

[@tvilenius7904]

Great! What is the small controller on the keyboard?

[@alex.robinson]

Korg nanoKontrol 2!

[@thenorthstar311]

❤💥

[@janjoghurt8797]

Could anyone explain to me how to roughly reproduce the sound at 4:20 (The Banker)? As a beginner my guess would be something like saw wave + filter and high resonance + lots of distortion and reverb, octaves are doubled, but I cannot really get close to it. Where does this certain scratchy part come from?

[@Helena081107]

tbh, I would definitely not use a saw for this, but look at square and/or sine. Since sine waves don't have harmonics to work with, I would choose square (which are usually used on vintage synths to replicate flute-ish sounds). Do they indicate which synth they used to make this sound? Otherwise it narrows down the options by looking at the synths specs. But honestly, I think the sort of grittiness will be the hardest thing to achieve, and there's nobody there saying they only used the original synths and left them pure. Of course not, they added external FX afterwards. I would automatically go for my bit crusher (but use it mildly) and then definitely use a LP filter to take out most of the (top frequency) harshness afterwards.

[@Helena081107]

btw, not sure if you have a Juno 60 (or just a plugin replicating it), but I once spent many hours making the original patches on the Juno 60 on my own Juno 60, using the original Roland manual. It was quite a nice learning trip. I did the same on my SH101 as well. All of these manuals are freely available online, and following that stuff really makes you enjoy the limits of these old synths and yet what they could do with them. Just a tip. ;) And you don't need the originals (though I admit, having them is fun), just plugins will do as well, as long as you don't cheat by using the extra's they usually add to the plugins...

[@A-Name-101]

Lush sounds!

[@TraxtasyMedia]

LABS > Kontakt. Fight me!

[@lumpielump3576]

I guess LABS is as dead as Monty Phython´s parrot by now, after Christian Henson was thrown under a lorry by his own company just for stating his opinion on a very debatable issue. luckily for all of us, her founded Crowhill, where free gems are being released every month...

[@harleyfields1664]

"Pay no attention to us defending transphobia, have a free new LABS library!"

[@religionoffreedom]

Transphobia isn’t real, just like trans women.

[@religionoffreedom]

Nobody is afraid of trans people. We are against the trans agenda. Chop off your own bits but leave the kids alone. Is that transphobic?

[@matz3rr982]

?

[@TraxtasyMedia]

tf is wrong with you dewd, it's about music not political or fashistic topics..... -.- get your life a balance, bloke.

[@Fastvoice]

Christian Henson left Spitfire Audio end of february.

[@desivafued3868]

nice sounding transphobia

[@SarahMaywalt]

No thanks. I'm good.

[@yves2078]

de la merde gratuite!! quel intérêt de faire cela?

[@JulienTabaraniComposer]

l'alchimie est de faire du beau avec ce que l'on a à dispo , ce Labs ci semble très utilisable pour de belles melodies et harmonies... (sinon si vous voulez être compris des concepteurs l'emploi de la langue de shakespeare est conseillé, mais bon , votre commentaire n'est pas très beau)
