Please Note: These soundbanks have been specially designed to be controlled with a wind controller or breath controller and thus require one of these devices for proper use. These sounds require breath controller data (MIDI continuous controller #2) in order to make any sound. If you do not have a wind controller or breath controller you will probably not be able to make use of these sounds. |

Wind Controller #1 - Patchman Music WindPlug 1 for the Apple ES2 analog modeling softsynth contains 100 all-new analog modeling sounds specially optimized to respond to a wind controller or breath controller with full breath expression. These are completely new sounds with corresponding fully programmed patch parameters tweaked to respond correctly to your breath. WindPlug 1 contains a huge variety of classic analog timbres as well as a large helping of adventurous sounds fully controlled via your breath. Tonguing subtly controls the attack of the sound. Most of these sounds are programmed without vibrato so that the wind controller player can add vibrato via the bite sensor on the horn- just like on an acoustic horn. For keyboardists using a breath controller, we have included vibrato controlled via the mod wheel. The legato implementation is superb making these sounds incredibly fun and satisfying to play. This Patchman Music WindPlug is ready to be loaded into your ES2 softsynth and played. No user tweaking is needed. We've done all the work for you!

Pioneering EVI Player & Member of Blood Sweat & Tears, Bruce Cassidy Comments... "Hey Matt, Just spent a couple of hours going through your new ES2 patches. I've been playing the EVI for 34 years and these are the most exciting sounds I've heard! There is an immense amount of subtlety and power here - everything from the sublime to the bizarre. Combined with the power of the plug-ins in Logic the options floor me and I may start taking my lap-top to gigs. I will certainly take these sounds to recording gigs and, of course, I'll use them daily in my studio. Thank you for the amazing musical programming work! Bruce." - Bruce Cassidy - Pioneering EVI player and Music Director and Trumpeter with Blood Sweat & Tears. Bruce made one of the very first commercial recordings of the EVI with Blood Sweat and Tears on their "Nuclear Blues" Album.

Pioneering EVI Player & EWI consultant to Michael Brecker and Akai, Sam Zambito Comments... "A couple of weeks ago I purchased the Patchman ES2 collection for Logic or Mainstage users... This is a great collection of really usable patches. I've been using Mainstage as the core of my system for years. I use many of the Logic soft synths with ES2 being one of my favorite. In addition, I use the VL70-m Turbo and REASON as my core system for general live performance. I would strongly encourage any Logic users to get these sounds as soon as possible... If you are not a Logic user....now you have an excellent reason to consider this powerful, reliable product." - Sam Zambito - Pioneering EVI player/EWI consultant to Michael Brecker and Akai

"Hey Matt! Just finished playing through all 100 patches of the 'ES2 Patchman Volume 1', fun stuff! Installation was a breeze, I'm running Logic Pro version 8 and had no problem loading the bank. Lots of variety and great selection of sounds, very useful stuff. It was wonderful to hear these rich, creamy sounds coming out of a software plugin! I'm looking forward to spending more time with each patch to really appreciate how well these sounds respond to the expressive control of the EWI. I guess that's what really impresses me, you can get so much mileage out of a single patch, the sound is so organic and responsive to how you play it. Makes playing fun! Thanks so much and keep up the good work! Best regards." - Dave Tipton - EWI4000s/Chapman Stick Artist
"Dear Matt, My name is Itai Weissman and I'm an EWI player living in the Netherlands. For the last couple of years I've been focusing my work on the EWI and I came out with several different albums with my own projects. The reason why I write to you is to share with you my new project, an EWI trio band that will release its first EP coming November. I've always been a Patchman fan and bank user and on this recording I'm using the EWI4000s Vol. 1 together with the ES2 WindPlug banks. I would like to dedicate this work to you and your guys at Patchman Music for the wonderful work you are doing. Best." - Itai Weissman
"Hi Matt, Wow!!! I just loaded and tried your new Apple Logic sound bank. It sounds incredible! I haven't even put effects on yet and I can't believe how good and responsive the sounds are. I had just about given up on the WX5 and was thinking of going to an EWI. This is exactly what I was looking for. Now, I think I need to add a Midi wireless to my setup. Thanks Matt!!"
"Hi Matt, I just wanted to say thanks. I got the ES2 sound bank from you a few days ago and they really sound and play great! They are really smooth and responsive to the breath control, and there's a sound for every occasion there. Lots of variety and textures to choose from, and that's the problem - so many great sounds that it's hard to choose just one! I love the Brecker inspired ones especially. I wanted to play through the patches to just get an idea of what was in there, and once I started playing one I had to keep playing it. It took me over six hours to play through them all I was having so much fun! Thanks again. Best Regards"
"Hi Matt, I hope this message finds you well. Thank you! So far I have acquired your Apple ES2 sound banks - they sound amazing and most of all they make a huge difference to the pleasure of playing the Yamaha WXs, so thanks a lot for your hard work, your sounds make me really happy! All the best."
"The Brecker stuff is sublime. :-) Thanks."
"Hi Matt, I would like to take this opportunity to compliment you on the ES2 sound bank. You just increased the value of my AE-10 by orders of magnitude. While the sounds in the AE-10 are really good, the Patchman patches are very expressive and I feel like I have so much more control on the sound with the ES2 and your sound bank. Also thank you for your dedication to all things wind controller and all the experience you bring to the table. Thanks again for a great product! It's all working as documented and expected. The patches in the set are AWESOME!"
"Matt's patches are my go to for use in Mainstage! His ES2 patches are definitely worth it!! If you are willing to make the investment in getting the synths, his Thor and Mono/Poly patches are excellent, as well. I think I use Thor more than anything else. If you lean towards analog synth sound you will end up with more sounds than you will know what to do with!"
"Hi Matt, Thanks for the incredible ES2 patches. Great job! Best regards from Switzerland."
"Hi, I just got this and I love the sounds. Thanks!"
"Hey Matt! Really enjoying the Thor and ES2 soundbanks. They sound incredible and are a lot of fun to play. Thank you."
"Wow! I love these sounds."
"Hi Matt, Recently purchased the Turbo chip for the VL70m and have to say absolutely amazing. I'm sure I'm repeated what many users have said but had to chime in. It doesn't get much more expressive. Also purchased the ES2 sounds and, again, absolutely amazing! The expressiveness in incomparable. Incredible work! Thanks aren't enough!"
"Hi Matt, Thank you so much, these sounds are wonderful and work so well with my WX7 in MainStage. I shall definitely be coming back for more. Kindest regards."
"If you have a Mac buy Mainstage 2 and get Patchman's ES2 patches. Changes everything. Beautiful sound. Much better than the Aria and in another league."
"I can attest to the quality of Matt's ES2 patches. Honestly they play better than his patches for the 4000s. Extremely responsive and fluid, and if you already own an EWI and Logic, you'd really be missing out by not buying them."
"The Logic ES2 sounds are typical of Matt's programming... smooth and highly playable."
"Thanks Matt. I am particularly impressed with the ES2 set. I've never managed to get anything that responsive out of the ES2 before. Haven't been able to put down the WX7 all day :) Cheers."
"Brilliant Matt. They all sound great! You are a programming fool!"
