WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYINGI have to say I’m very impressed with the quality of the Proteus 2000 SoundFont. I have the real rack, and after comparing the presets I find that the font is very close to the rack version, and easier to use. Much kudos!!!!!!
I’m really, really pleased with the way you and your company handled my case. This kind of customer support is very rare and it’s a sure sign of the fact that you take your business seriously. I received the download link for Planet Earth this morning and checked it before I had to leave for work. Planet Earth sounds fantastic! Guess what? Half an hour ago I bought your Orchestral Strings font, and that one sounds incredible too. Excellent!
Very, very impressed by you guys. It’s rare that actual reputable sites put out freebies this big anymore. Very neat. People remember stuff like that. I know I will.
I am a hip hop music producer. I recently found out about your website and your products. I think good sound design is something sorely needed in the "do it yourself" software world. Your company seems to be filling this void.
I had a Proteus 1 from 1991 until two years ago when it died, and have all these tunes written for it. I have now managed to resuscitate them with your excellent sound pack.
I appreciate the great amount of work that goes into implementing this kind of adaptation and commend your team on the job.
I just listened to your Saint Thomas Orchestral Strings demo, and this sf sounds far more realistic and ambient than any I have heard. Nice stuff.
I just happened upon your website. I can’t wait to get home and download your generous free sample library.
Thanks for your help. The problem (after you create a folder instruction) was that I was trying to do everything in the Instrument Edit Window instead of in the EXS main window. Everything worked perfectly. I'll be buying the Proteus 2000 volume later today. I often complain about the decline in customer service in the USA. You and your fellows are to be commended for proving me wrong in this instance. Thanks again.
One fine day I was googling for “SoundFont Proteus” and to my big surprise DSF was on the top of the results. Surprise was big because it has been ages since anything new has come up with my endless search for good SoundFonts.
I found the website very easy to navigate through. The login and order process were perfectly smooth.
Love the expansion packs for Cakewalk. Good stuff!!!
