To those that downloaded it, any particular favorites in there?

This free bank was a promotional project intended to drum up some interest for 2 official, full-size soundbanks I plan to release in the fall months.

I had a quick browse through the patches. Some of the bass ones are pretty good. Nothing particularly standout-ish about the rest for me personally though.

Nice to see somebody else making sound banks though

I really should organise all of my sounds one day

AWESOME! Thanks! I just got Sylenth too, so I'll let you know what I think when I load them.

Yet another reason for putting out this free bank was to get a feel for what people are looking for. What type of sounds fit your needs? Interesting you liked the basses the best...they're also the easiest sounds to make . For the other sounds, what would you liked to have seen done differently?

Indeed simple sounds are often the most effective. Personally I like innovative sound banks that display exactly what the synthesiser is capable of rather than generic patches. That way it gives the end user more scope for tweaking, rather than having to build on the sounds. Just my opinion of course.

Hey thanks for the input...it's definitely appreciated. Aside from the atmospheres, the rest of the patches actually were intentionally more on the simple side as I had the impression that that's what most folks want. You look at so many popular sound designers and the stuff they put out is deceptively simple sounding but expertly given small amounts of spice underneath, and they sell like hotcakes.
Maybe more people think the way you do? That would actually make my job easier as I wouldn't feel the need to adhere to a set of conventions.
As I am relatively new on the scene, I need to stick with what I assume is popular and develop my reputation. Once that happens, I could afford to do more specialized stuff by letting it all hang out and going "balls to the wall" with more huge sounding patches.
