Phrase library

Are there any additional phrase libraries available for HN1? I have Starter Kit Drums and Starter Kit Phrases. javascript:emoticon(':D')

Thanks, Paul T

Hi Paul, the phrases shipping with HN1 are just examples to get started. HN2 will have an import feature allowing you to build your own phrases from midi files. Although you can do that with HN1 already (to a some extent), it will be more comfortable with the next version.

But AFAIK you cannot save the imported midi files as a phrase in the HN libaray, to reuse them in another song?!

If that would be possible I would be very happy! There's nothing wrong with the provided phases but they certainly don't fit my music style...

Thanks for the replies. I thought additional libraries would become available as it was mentioned in the Accompaniments section of the HN1 user manual (pg. 52). I've just now become better at building my own accompaniments through mixing the various phrases but would of liked a little wider variety of phrases particularly drums and solo melodies. As was mentioned by ZooTook I can add my own phrases which I have but I guess I'd have to copy and paste to reuse them. I haven't looked at it but are all of the stock accompaniments made with the included standard phrase library or do some have custom phrases inserted? Other than that I really like the program, look forward to HN2 and would seriously consider Synfire Pro should the funding become available.
