Orrrr.... Does Komplete 9: Uber Komplete Edition come packaged inside of a 'free' orange, 1969 Camaro Z28?!??! Sign me upppppp.

Cool gift, but I dunno if I'll use it. I've already got like 4-5 distortion plugs that get regular rotation.

Yes - thanks for the free plug heads up - nice gesture following their 160/la/76 sale last month...

its free click authorize and thats it for "driver"

more plugin formats than on the PC

As with all things NI, it only took 1/3 of forever to download and install ha-ha. That said, it's pretty cool, just going through the presets was deafening though....Anybody else make a mad dash for the volume knob ?? I ran some loops through it, started out at 1/2 volume, ended with it set to 1 (out of 100) so as not blow my monitors or eardrums. I would NOT call it just distortion in a LOT of those preset cases, more like resonating feedback to the Nth degree or something. Not super useful those, but when you dial it back about 2/3 or 3/4, it does seem to have some pretty cool saturation and thickening possibilities. It's not going to replace CamelPhat for me, but hey, it's noisey and free, so whatevs right.

I finally installed and authorized. Man, this is a weird one. It still doesn't behave like I'd expect. Well, some of the time it does, in kind of a lackluster way, and then it seems to go from that to crazy, with not much in between. It's like the distortion doesn't do much until the filter starts to oscillate. A few of the presets are just insane.

Anyway, it's been a few hours since I played with it and I haven't been through the manual yet. Oh, and I don't do much with tempo-sync, but this seems like it would benefit greatly from that. Maybe I just didn't see it right off. I'm not so much complaining, mind you, especially for free, mostly just confused. It does look cool.

Thank you for the example and workflow tips. I'm pretty clueless when it comes to this kind of effect, so I appreciate every little bit of help I can get.

Cheers,

(So, no waves for you!)

hmmm, driver failed logic 8 validation (Mac OS 10.5.. I guess I'm not worthy. (having bad luck with getting freebies to work today)

What a fantastic toy! I don't see it as a distortion unit, but as a saturator. Fantastic on drums and basses. Thanks NI!

Yeah, sure, no problem! Good luck with it, it's a doozy! ..you can sure find other way to successfully use this one as well.

Bump, c'mon ppl, get this for free before it's too late! you'll sure find a way to use it!

I like how NI describe it as the "rare pairing of a filter with a distortion unit"

Haha,,, now what they suppose to mean by that?
