OT-Dimension vs Dimension Pro-list of extra sounds?

350 new programs and over 120 MB of new samples and wavetables.
New programs expand the factory sound set with new Digital and FM sounds, Dimensions, Electric Pianos, Guitars, Leads and Keys, Orchestral sounds, Organs, Real and Synth Basses, Clusters and Harmonies, Splits and Layers, Sweeps, Analog sounds, Pads, Twisted Waveguide patches, and World sounds.
Includes a new emulation of the legendary Hammond B3â„¢ organ. Each component of the original organ, including all drawbar levels, percussion level, keyclick, the rotary speaker, drive, and cabinet simulator were precisely crafted to recreate all characteristics of this legendary instrument.
The pack includes new wavetables, multisamples, and cabinet/speaker simulations



and that's just the expansion pack, I'm not sure if that even helps, as I didn't have Dimension, I went straight from 0 to Dim. Pro.

anyone have a list of dimension pro sounds? i am particularly interested in the percussion.

i already have dimension. how are people assessing whether to make the jump to pro? just taking a chance? i may actually do that, lol

I just got Dim Pro, and am working up a complete list of programs, multisamples and elements (generated from the file listings with a bit of geekery). I have the Expansion Pack sounds separated from the core Dim Pro sounds.
I'll put it up on the wiki when I'm done, and post a note here when it's ready.

Duojet asked about 'the decision to go pro'. I'm finally getting back to doing some music after a year of chaos, and found some very appealing sounds in the non-Pro Dimension this past weekend (well, duh ... anybody shocked at that? Thought not...). I'm also putting together a laptop-based rig, and DimPro fits there better than trying to put Atmosphere + Trilogy + Komplete 3 all on the laptop (smaller HD footprint, 'plays nice' with Sonar/P5, reduces the number of plugins (and GUIs) I need to juggle....)... so I'm keeping most of my current plugins on my main DAW. Plus, I really appreciate the community that's built up around DimPro (and Rapture, but I'm not there yet) Youse guys are just NIcer.....

More simply: sounds great, clean GUI, mostly great presets, lots of programming depth, covers lots of bases. Great support, great users. As a $99 upgrade -- a no-brainer.

There's an in-progress draft of the Dimension Pro program list up on the wiki now: http://p5.sonarama.com/p5/index.php/User:JimWright/DimProPrograms

For now, I'm building the pages in a separate "user area", per Wikipedia guidelines.
Once the full program list is done, I'll move the pages into the regular P5 wiki area and link them to the main Dimension Pro page (http://p5.sonarama.com/p5/index.php/Dimension_Pro).

Please feel free to suggest any changes you think might make the program list more useful, or easier to read.

I'll post another note when I have another chunk of pages done. Gotta tend to my day gig now....

Thanks, Tom. I'm glad there's something I can help with (and that I finally have time again to do more than lurk).

Some of the categories (e.g. Pianos, Electric pianos) are kind of short.
What do you think about consolidating the shorter pages? For example, Pianos and Electric Pianos could be merged into single wiki page, with a page name like "10, 11 - Acoustic and Electric Pianos"

The screenshots are nice (much appreciated!), but I wanted something I could print out without spending my gear budget on ink. Also - text is searchable; screenshots are not.

It's not that much typing --- I generated folder listings for everything, use Excel to get the columns how I want them, and use some programmer-editor macros to generate most of the wiki page markup. It took a while last night to figure out how to put together something that would look semi-ok in "P5 wiki page format" -- I use a different flavor wiki at work (MoinMoin), and the P5 wiki does some stuff better, some worse, some just different.

I will probably generate a small-print PDF cheatsheet also, and post that on the wiki. I'm addicted to having printable reference materials (with apologies to all the trees I've killed along the way), and there's way too much good stuff in DimPro for me to remember it all. (With these brain cells -- you gotta be kidding!)

Excellent work, Jim! Thanks for the contribution!
