NYLON for Waldorf Quantum & Iridium
I’m extremely pleased to announce NYLON which is a combined preset and sample library for the Waldorf Quantum. The samples are recordings of my 6-string nylon acoustic guitar. For a run-down of what is included I strongly recommend that you take a look at the following video:
Since recording that video, I decided to completely split out the patches and samples into the following sets to give you the most flexibility in terms of what you load to your Quantum:
| Set | Patches | Samples | Sample Size |
| Plucks with fret noise – 3RR | 9 | 36 | 81Mb |
| Plucks with fret noise – 2RR | 6 | 30 | 61Mb |
| Plucks with fret noise – 1RR | 3 | 18 | 31Mb |
| Strums with fret noise | 3 | 12 | 25Mb |
| Harmonics | 3 | 18 | 73Mb |
Please note: 3RR gives you three round robins for the open string samples and two for the remaining high note samples.
At the time I developed NYLON I also created a number of layered presets which I envisaged including in the library. However there appears to be a limitation with the Quantum firmware currently which prevents me from exporting those multi-layered presets. Until this limitation is removed, it will be necessary for you to create your own layered presets, but this is very easy to do and layering the presets can create some really stunning results.
LIMITATIONS OF USE
You are free to use the presets and samples provided in this library either separately or combined for your own commercial musical productions. However you are strictly prohibited from the onward distribution, publication or sharing of either the presets or samples, whether for use on a Waldorf Quantum or any other hardware or software-based synthesis or sampling engine.
