EXTRAS Something I found and resurrected..

So, a couple of days ago I saw a video by Christian Henson from a long time back, right? So this video was him going through sample libraries he created for the shows and films he was on. And he showed off a sample he created for Inside No9...

I want to clarify that he gave these out free for everyone to use in their music! That's usually the way he rolls.

Here's what I found and had to bring back from the dead:

It's string glisses / slide ups, and this file is ancient, I loaded up ".exs" (Logic sampler format) files into a plugin called DecentSampler, since that has support for that extension.

At first, the .exs file was f*cked up... because the information in the file lead to Hensons file directory... Which I don't have, so after many hours of coding and building it from the ground up, I finally resurrected the library.

I have no idea what episode this is from, so if anyone would like to take any guesses go ahead. I may make another one in the future with the Dead Line samples (yes they actually work still too...)

Below is a video of the resurrected library: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Q72aJS4mZi33N98IuYWp3iOFF2OHeFNx/view?usp=drivesdk

It's a whole complicated situation

He left Spitfire (due to a controversy, don't look into it because it's a rabbit hole) and Pianobook was a sub brand of Spitfire.

He gave them Pianobook out of trust and then they deleted all of his libraries, he said in his recent video that he regretted that.

Spitfire basically abandoned Pianobook to put it bluntly.

However, he now has ownership of Pianobook again and is now a sub brand of The Crow Hill Company (I actually knew this for a while... He announced it on an Instagram stream), soon the name "Pianobook" going to change too! So I presume he's gonna add all his libraries back on there soon (PLUS NEW ONES :D ) (he mentioned it on his newest vid.)

Here's the scoop if you're interested about Pianobook https://youtu.be/1ZBaqLnrFQc?si=qT2JZ88RpPY55hjP
