DFH Superior 2.0...yowzaassss

[chadsxe]

So it has been know for a while that Superior would be getting a major overhaul and badged 2.0. Me personally I am chomping at the bit for info. With that said this just in....

- DFH Superior 1.0 will be discontinued form sales but will be supported fully by ToonTracks for a long time to come. Meaning if you go online at this moment you will notice retailers pulling it off shelves.

- DFH Superior 2.0 will feature a "100% new sound library". Holy shit this could be awesome

- Word is the bubble we be fully burst next week with ToonTracks pulling back the covers on 2.0

I am sooooooooooooo freaking excited.

Regards

Wonder if they'll make a EZdrummer patch for it?.....hmmm that would be killer too

Where are you seeing this info? Is there a discounted upgrade price for registered owners of v1?

Hope it's better - I might make the upgrade. Hated DFHS 1.0 myself, and I haven't liked the sound of it on anybody's records (Devin Townsend, Meshuggah, etc.)

I'll agree with the Meshuggah comment, but Devy's never used DFHS on a record. The EZD DFH expansion sounds like assss!

He used DFHS on "Ziltoid."

It had to have been EZ with the DFH expansion - the kick, snare, ride, and chinas all match perfectly, and he's got splashes and chinas in places you literally cannot place them in DFHS.

Shure? you can route the outputs to aux tracks and then pan as you want.

From Toontrack forum:

"1) I was wondering when you guys will officially unveil the product. I heard next week possibly.

Within the coming weeks.

2) Is it true that 2.0 will have a completely new sound library?

Yes.

3) Are 1.0 and 2.0 completely different products and will not be compatible with each other’s libraries?

They will be compatible with each other libraries.

All the best,

Andreas/Toontrack"

Loved DFHS but the Custom and Vintage set is outstanding as well. I generally use the DFHS kicks and toms and the C&V snares and cymbals. I hope this time around there's more options with the room and overhead mics.

 

[Emdprodukt]

hopefully it's going to support better cymbal rolls and everything else that's about cymbals because I really dislike them on DFHS1.

Hahaha...yeah that my post over at the forums. There are a few other cryptic messages in a couple of other posts. Hence how I found out DFH Superior 1 was going to be not sold anymore. One awesome thing is that according to Andreas's response to my thread the old lib will be backwards compatable with the new lib.

Look above at the responses I got in the toontrack forums. Also if you go over to Musician's Friend you will see they are no longer selling V1

 

[Gnash]

YOWZA!!!

 

[chadsxe]

Just for clarafication Andreas at Toontrack has said the 1.0 lib will work with the 2.0 engine but the 2.0 lib will not work with the 1.0 engine.

 

[STINNETT]

My only gripes with DFHS have been the inability to do a very convincing roll or swell on the cymbals. Hopefully that will be addressed somehow.

I'm definitely excited about the upgrade!

You can't route individual cymbals to aux tracks.

 

[HeadCrusher]

WTF? Devin Townsend used EZD (and it's original samples??) on the latest record??
