Cornucopia is the “horn of plenty” (from Latin – cornu copiae) - a symbol of abundance and nourishment. We recorded and sampled a 20-piece string ensemble (6-5-4-3-2) which was made of the best string players in Bulgaria - all the leading players in Sofia Session Orchestra. Our intention was to create a sample library that has articulations that each composer will possibly need.

TUTTI
Tutti Trills – whole tone / half tone trills
Tutti Tremolo – ordinary tremolo, two dynamics
Tutti Tremolo Sul Ponticello – tremolo, played near the 'bridge' of the instrument
Tutti Sus – ordinary sustained notes, two dynamics
Tutti Sordino Sus – sustained 'con sordino' – warm and gentle tone, two dynamics
Tutti ****c – short articulation, played in the middle of the bow, without efford
Tutti Stacc – short articulation, sounds bigger than “****c”, two dynamics
Tutti Sfz – sforzando, playing with a sudden, strong emphasis; option of stacc. overlay
Tutti Pizz – pizzicato, short articulation, two dynamics
Tutti FX – clusters, atonal textures, avant-garde effects
4 Vln FFF Divisi Marc – a bonus 'special' patch, where we sampled the first chairs of first and second violins (a total of 4 players) and had them play with a very exaggerated vibrato and really, really loud.
Bass Tremolo – ordinary tremolo, two dynamics
Bass Tremolo Sul Ponticello – tremolo, played near the 'bridge' of the instrument, two dynamics
Bass Sus – ordinary sustained notes, two dynamics
Bass Sord Sus – sustained notes, 'con sordino' – warm and gentle tone, two dynamics
Bass Stacc – short articulation, two dynamics
Bass Sfz – sforzando, played with a strong emphasis; option of stacc. overlay
Bass Pizz – pizzacato, short articulation, two dynamics
Bass FX – clusters, atonal textures, avant-garde effects

I've been waiting for these to come out.  My downloads keep timing out.  Had the same problem with my Storm Choir.  Wish there was a better way to get libraries this big down the pipeline.  Sheesh.

Could be there's many people getting this today plus IIRC his server isn't too swift either...
I've really enjoy using STORM, hope these are similar in quality & function.

I tried that free demo patch & it sounded pretty decent. I won't have time to get it today so let us know what you think if you can.

Yoropal - are you using a download manager like Flashget or iGetter? 

Actually I hardly ever use them now as I download through firefox or Chrome and never seem to have much of a problem no matter how big the file is - and I'm only on 4mb broadband.

Initially I used IE10.  Now George has sent me individual links and I'm using FreeDownloadManager.  I'll keep ya posted.

Nope...timed out twice using FDM.  I'll try again later.  Pretty sure it's on his end.

I think I know what might work: what if they copied those files onto a DVD and mailed them to you? Ya think that method might catch on? Of course, it would add 5 bucks to the cost of distribution, which might be prohibitive.

Regret not getting Kontakt when NI had it at half price not long ago, after seeing this.

George plans on having a new script ready for a split .zip archives option on Monday.
In the meantime if you really want them email him & he'll give you new links to download the files separately.

Roight bit ol pal.  Why not just send a DVD?

So far, using FDM I've got...I think...4 of the 6 files.  Re-downloading those as I type.  Sheesh.
