HOLLOW SUN has worked with many of the major manufacturers including Akai, Alesis, Bela-D Media, Korg, Roland and others. I offer an extensive range of professional and affordable sampler sound libraries in a variety of formats for convenient direct download at very reasonable prices. All samples are hand-crafted for optimum use of memory, load/save times and disk space using experience that spans back 25 years to the dawn of early sampling. The HOLLOW SUN libraries feature a huge range of synth and vintage keyboard samples from evolving, atmospheric pads to biting leadlines, punchy basses, synth strings and electric pianos, clavs and sparkling digital textures as well as arguably the most authentic sampled re-creation of many classic and desirable vintage keyboards. Collectively, they represent a comprehensive sound library that will cover almost any modern musical application. HOLLOW SUN's vintage keyboard libraries are somewhat unique in that no fancy channel strips or outboard gear were used when sampling these instruments - just the raw line outputs of the instruments, warts and all. This means that what you get is pretty much as close to having the actual instrument in your studio, NOT some watered down, 'pasteurised' digital facsimile. |

Libraries are available in Kontakt 3 and Akai S5000/S6000 formats and are fully compatible with Akai Z4 and Z8, MPC4000 and MPC5000V2 and other software sampler formats. Some titles are made exclusively for the Alesis Fusion. |

>> THE HOLLOW SUN NOVACHORD IS HERE
The long awaited and much anticipated Hollow Sun Novachord is now available in Kontakt 3.5 format! As work has progressed on this project, it has been the talk of the synth blogs and music forums, Twitter, YouTube and elsewhere on the net. With 120 exciting programs and many hundreds of hand crafted, long and luxurious 24-bit mult-samples, this unique collection presents this incredible, innovative - and almost unknown - relic from 1939 as accurately as possible. The Novachord was the world's first polyphonic synth powered by 163 valves, thousands of capacitors and miles of hand soldered wiring in hand sewn looms encased in a most beautiful wooden cabinet. Such a beast would be an achievement today - that this was a product of 1939 is all the more remarkable. We have carefully programmed the soundset to be as accurate a representation of 'the real thing' as possible such that playing it is as close to having a Novachord in front of you. However, in some programs, we have also taken liberties with modern synth post-processing that Laurens Hammond and his design team could only dream about. I am sure they would be as excited as we are about this soundset if they were around today. But however much we have mangled the original sound, the character of of the Novachord comes shining through and you can almost smell the bakelite and the musty odour of glowing thermionic valves warming the 70 year old wooden cabinet. The program list is shown below. Intrigued? Go HERE for more details.
