10. SoundSet Add-on Libraries
There are a range of high quality add-on libraries available for EVE 2 in the
DASHsnd format, ranging from eclectic collections of vintage sounds, to in-depth
sample collections of classic instruments. A brief description of currently
available titles is below. Full information and pricing can be found at

.
EVE 2 can also load WusikSND (V1) sold for the Wusikstation VSTi. Please visit
the Wusik forum at
www.kvraudio.com
to search for vendors that sell samples in
this format. Please note that EVE 2 will load WusikSND SoundSets, but not
presets for Wusikstation (FXP, FXB, BNK or WusikPRST) due to the different
synthesis architecture. Also, WusikSND files will have to be installed in a
subfolder of the ‘EVE Data’ folder to be read by EVE 2. The image below shows

for Wusikstation installed for use in EVE 2.

The High Quality SoundSet Series
HQS1- Ultimate FM!:
This is a unique
SoundSet for EVE 2, being a detailed multi-
sample collection of a
modern
classic - the
Yamaha FS1r
.
The FS1r is an 8 operator FM synthesizer, with extra noise generators, resonant
filters and formant sequencing features that were never before seen on a FM
synthesizer. It is considered by many to be the ultimate FM machine, but also a
difficult synth to program! Amongst the SoundSets, you will find basses, organs,
electric pianos, brass, pluck, fx and synthesized sounds, as well as a few of the
formant sequences. Of course, HQS1 ships with 128 beautifully crafted presets.
Today, these synths are rarely seen on the second hand market. Those who own
them keep them – so the HQS1 library is a great way to get hold of some powerful
and unique sounds from a modern classic.
