A swedish musican named August contacted me a few days ago. He sent me a donation as a thanks for using my plug-ins along with a link to his newly released album which features Grizzly on drums. August calls himself Cerulean Crayons and the album is named _Batch1. The music is really brilliant and reminds me of Boards Of Canada, Arovane and Mike Oldfield. If you want to hear Grizzly you should skip ahead to the last song, Slowburn.

The album can be downloaded for free on August's site - http://ceruleancrayons.tk. You can also listen to it on Spotify - Cerulean Crayons - _Batch1. Or you could also buy the album on Amazon or iTunes to support a great musician.

Thanks for the donation August and thanks for some really good music, I'm loving the album!

Chimera and Grizzly have been updated using the latest available version of SynthEdit 1.1. Please report any bugs in the comments area.

No changes were made apart from upgrading to the latest version.
Grizzly v1.1b SE1.160

Chimera:
Samplerate bug fixed (48/96kHz tuning)

Edit:
The first version uploaded had a problem with the samplerate fix, only 44.1 and 48kHz were the same pitch. Now 88.2 and 96kHz have also been adjusted to work properly.

A new version of Grizzly was uploaded today based on the latest SynthEdit build v1.143. Please report any bugs you find!
