Hollow Sun relaunch with multi format downloads!!

The world famous and respected sample developer, Hollow Sun, have revamped their site, but most importantly, their product offering.

Most importantly, they are now, for the first time, available for immediate download!

Their libraries now come in a variety of formats including Akai S5/6000, Z Series, MPC4000 and the latest MPC5000 v2. There are also libraries for the Alesis Fusion too. And for the first time these libraries are available in Kontakt 3 format!



To use their words...

HOLLOW SUN now supports the popular NI Kontakt 3 format which takes these award winning sounds to new heights. Each sound has been meticulously converted to K3 format and hand crafted to take advantage of K3's superb facilities.

HOLLOW SUN now offers a new download service in conjunction with PayPal. Just click on 'BUY NOW' and follow the on-screen PayPal instructions. You will be given a unique link to download your purchase. It couldn't be simpler.

If you don't have a PayPal account, no problem - you can use your credit card.

Buying from HOLLOW SUN has never been easier.

If you don't have a suitable fast broadband connection, CDs are available on request.

>> SMALL PACKS NOW AVAILABLE

For those who, for whatever reason, don't want to buy complete products, SMALL PACKS are now available enabling you to buy the HOLLOW SUN libraries in smaller, more affordable downloads.

>> AKAI MPC5000V2 COMPATIBLE

With the advent of V2 for the MPC5000's new OS which can read S5/6000 'keygroup' programs, all of HOLLOW SUN's soundware is now directly compatible with the MPC5000.

If you use an MPC5000, HOLLOW SUN has to be your first port of call for new sounds to transform your MIDI Production Centre way beyond its hip-hop heritage.


Most libraries can be bought complete for $50, which is a bargain in itself, but they can now be bought in smaller chunks too. So, for example, you want the critically acclaimed Yamaha CP70 set, but not the other EP's within that library (Wurlitzer EP200, Hohner Pianet or Classic EP), you can just download the CP70 for $25! Or you can have the Classic EP for $10, or the Wurli for $15. They'll even let you have the RMI Electrapiano for free!

And yes, you read right. All of these libraries are available for immediate download! Pay your money and have those samples straight away. If you don't have a suitable connection to download these, they will still provide them as CD's on request.

There's even a freebies section so you can sample their products and understand the quality you will get with these libraries.

I've known Steve Howell, the man behind Hollow Sun, for some years and we have worked together on a number of various projects, including Hollow Sun's own library (including the Nostalgia VSTi) to work for Akai & Alesis on products such as the Akai MPC500 & MPC5000 & the Alesis Fusion & SR18. Steve's work is impeccable and his list of credits is a veritable roll of honour, working with companies such as Akai, Alesis, Korg, Roland, Bela D, Apogee, HHB, Genex, and Novation as well as artists such as Peter Gabriel and Holly Johnson.

His skills as a samplist and programmer are second to none. I can personally vouch for the excellence of his output and can highly recommend any and all of his soundware offering.

Enjoy!
