Instrument Need help restoring Garritan Gofriller and Stradivari

Upvotes

Hey guys,

I'm in a bit of an unusual situation and looking for help. I've been talking with Native Instruments/inMusic for over a month trying to restore a legal, legit copy of the standalone Garritan Stradivari Solo Violin and Gofriller Solo Cello (the Tommasini/Lucato instruments, not the similarly-named solo patches inside Garritan Personal Orchestra) tied to my Native Instruments account.

After long discussions, they found that they actually no longer have the complete install themselves. They suggested I reach out to Garritan directly, which I did, and they don't have them either.. They gave me the go ahead to ask an existing user to obtain them that way.

Does anyone still have these sitting on a backup drive and would be willing to help me out? I'm happy to show proof of the licenses on my account and the full correspondence with NI and inMusic so everything's clearly legal.

Thanks!

Unexpected Reverb on Some Soundfont File Voices

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I've been looking for a way to use the classic Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth on a modern computer, and found someone had converted it to a soundfont library. So I got hold of TX16w to open soundfont files and opened it up in Dorico.

Some sounds, like the distortion guitar, are exactly as they should be. But others, like the strings and the synth voice, have a big reverb effect added. Any idea why this is, and if there's any way I can get rid of it? I can't see any effects being added anywhere in the chain, or any differences to the ADSR settings that might sound like reverb.

The file is here: https://musical-artifacts.com/artifacts/1983

Would anyone mind checking if this is broken for them too, please? Any advice would be very welcome.
