About Performance Samples
Years of iterative private orchestral/choral sample creation led to the development Performance Samples, which is an investigation of how post-production techniques and session design might foster musical nuance in sampling. Commercial libraries modeled after successful private development are the result. Performance Samples goal is to create expressive and dynamic instruments free of technical propriety. The approach uses performance-based and unconventional methods for greater expressiveness and vigor in the areas of creative notation, musician choice, performance genres, recording environment, post-production approaches, and programming. The design has heart and personality with a clear preference for function over form. Clean samples, immediately responsive gameplay with negligible latency, extensive patch lists, fancy GUIs, and other traditional components are not present in this scenario.
