Slides! Yum. Some nice distortion and cab sims would be good, although I'm sure you've thought of that already.

I know it's not on your radar, but I would pay you today for a Rickenbacker 12-string library three years from now...

Lap steel? Wow! That'll be something to look forward to. I always loved the stuff David Gilmour and Steve Howe could do with them. But I'm sure a lot of Country Western musicians will be excited, too.

Honestly, outside of the country western idiom, I find that lap steel can do wonders for a nice, organic-sounding pad, or a fading, bending high note to accent the chord changes in a pop/rock context. Should be a fun library!

I will definitely be buying the lap steel. Please, Greg, give us a friendly introductory price for us po' folk.

I was recently at a friend's house where he had a vintage lap steel, so I messed around a bit with it and was surprised at how easy it was to get some cool Gilmoure-ish sounds happening. Run it hot through a small amp with some delay and you're there. If I could get that out of a sample library I'd be using it on every song!

I haven't determined an exact price, but it will be friendly--and an intro discount, too, of course. :)

Mmmm... lap steel... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b40cp7jDAuQ&feature=relmfu

Can't wait... Damn you, Greg Schlaepfer, and your sample libraries!!!

I might have to set up a direct deposit account with Greg if he keeps on pumping out these awesome new libraries.

I saw David Gilmour twice w/the Floyd, doing his magic on the guitars, and Steve Howe, a few times. 



http://www.gilmourish.com/?page_id=69 David’s slide guitars have always been a big part of Pink Floyd’s sound. In the early days he followed the tradition of Syd, using different slide techniques to create effects and soundscapes. By the mid 70’s David mainly used lap steels and created some of his most memorable solos.


Gilmour's lap steel is the sound to crave for.

I seldom make library recommendations, it's just too much of a personal choice thing. AND I have never considered guitar to be a candidate for sampling... cause I'm an over-playing guitarist. That said - the Orange Tree Evolution guitar libraries are awesome. The realism one can get is beyond my wildest dreams. I can (thankfully) still play things it can't - but I get the impression Greg is up for the challenge.

Since we're on the topic, here's the first audio demo of the upcoming lap steel library, played live. I'm using those Dan Dean Solo Strings from that great sale they had a week ago: http://www.orangetreesamp...udio/GrayPatchwork.mp3
