Tonehammer has announced Gnomehammer 2010, the return of the gnomes:
Yes… they are coming… the dreaded gnomes! But with more vengeance and teenage angst then ever!
You may wonder if we are releasing our long awaited POP “Passion Of Panflute” library … You may even fear that it will be our first 192 khz release … But fear not my friend …
Gnomehammer is our way of celebrating and ending the year with the sickest, baddest, memorable and emotionally disturbed Christmas in the history of virtual instruments.
The deal is that we will be releasing something new EVERY day here on www.tonehammer.com from December 1st to 25th. But make sure you check our site every single day during December, since we will have some hot, hot offers – some only lasting a single day.
Well… I still have a few tonehammer / gnomehammer samples in my collection; this dates back to last year I think (ball choir, sleigh bells, kazoo ensemble, snow drums, etc.). It took me a while but now that I'm slowly getting more into sample usage I can finally comprehend (or better put; recognize) the quality of their material.
One problem remains wrt to purchases IMO; its gonna be hard to come up with something good after the devastating blow which the Native Instruments crew delivered in the past days…
I'm all ears for freebies; but purchases really will have to wait…
