Greetings all,

Has anyone here tried using Kim with Kontakt 3 ? not a nice noise it worked fine in Kontakt 2 (inside Nuendo, my main host), however I had noticed that using Kim in Kontakt 2 as a VST inside FL studio 7 had another, different, issue where the decays do not work properly.

If anyone has Kontakt 3 and Kim I would be interested to hear if you have the same problem. Same goes for Kontakt 2 or 3 as VST in FL Studio, using Kim.

Thanks,

micd

Hi,
You right, there's something up with Kim in K3. we'll look into it right away and hopefully come up with a fix.

Can't speak for FL Studio, however, we don't have access to it. If it works in the stand alone and in other major hosts, then as far as we're concerned, our product is ok!

it appears to be the stereo modeller insert.

we'll rebuild it..

hey guys, thanks for checking that out.

As regards Kim in Kontakt in FLS I had assumed that FLS might be the culprit... but the Kontakt 3 thing was different - I am happy sticking to K2 for Kim if nec, but I have a colleague who wants to use Kim which he is planning to get when he gets Komplete 5... which will include Kontakt 3. As a by product of your fix it might even work in FLS too..

Cheers,

Yeah, we'll fix it ASAP. There'll be an updated patch to download.

ps you are right - take the stereo modeller out and it's fine - why was the stereo modeller there - for stereo spread ? I had found Kim to sound quite 'mono', so I have been using a modulator in the Amp section - key position appled to pan - to give it a bit more spread.
btw it's a beautiful sounding instrument, as are the others I have auditioned on your site.. particularly liked Hang Drum but just missed your offer which expired the night I bought Kim... such is life

Good luck,

Thanks,

Kim works fine in K3 for me. Here's my specs.
XP Pro sp2, Intel 1.6G dual core, 2GB, external FW1 drives. Live 6.10.

can hear Kim is good for you in K3 Riley - great track (belly dancer)
now that is weird.. why does it work for you ?!
micd

Thank you! I have the Kim doubled (kinda) with the stock cello from K3. I Love the cello.
Riley

are you using the original patch with the stereo modeller insert?

Yes, I also ran the whole track through Ozone on the "CD Master Excite Wide" preset.


Riley

Looks like Riley has a different host to me, if that's a clue.... I am on Nuendo 3, XP Pro sp2, 3.4 cpu, 3 gig ram

Hi,
There's a Kontakt 3 patch up here :

http://www.soniccouture.com/pages/freestuff.htm

it also has an updated tab'd GUI and wallpaper.

I think I may be having a related issue with VA drums in Kontakt 3.
Distortion-like sounds are happening, most obviously in the Zep kit.
This seems to have started after installing the 3.01 Kontakt update.
I haven't had time to explore filters/fx, etc., but I thought I should mention it.
Thank you

Thanks, we'll look into that now.
