Kontakt instrument being considered? I think you guys mentioned that you were making your other one into a kontakt instrument as well. Did that happen? Or even sfz if possible as it would be good to load in other things like Halion or falcon.

Yes, Kontakt and Sfz are planned for the summer. The best for me would be to even provide Reason Combinators, Renoise instruments and Ableton Live Racks as well, but I don't think I'll have the time to cover all these format this year.

But Kontakt will be available for sure, I'm working on converting all my plugins to Kontakt & it's going well.

I'd love to see a generic format that be loaded into different samplers. Sfz would cool. Then could be used in kontakt, falcon, Halion. Maybe bitwig and Ableton samplers, not sure.

This is something I really want to do, but the main problem I face is that part of the sound design in embedded in the plugin's structure. This is not much of a problem with Kontakt, but for other formats it takes me awhile to learn how to recreate the sounds from the original product. I can always offer plain multi-format, but what you'll get will sound different from what is present in the demos. I'm currently working on this so eventually every library I sell will be available in the most used sample formats. It's easy to get carried away though, there's so much I can do with Ableton and Kontakt that both platforms, it's not like Maize where I know everything about it because it's way more limited.

Did the Kontakt version come out last summer as planned? I forgot about this.

Hexagon Sky v1.6 is now available for macOS El Capitan and up! It's available our my new website: https://www.samplescience.info/2020/12/hexagon-sky.html

As for the Kontakt version, I had a lot of trouble with Kontakt until I got a new computer, now it runs smoothly and I'm slowly releasing Kontakt instruments, the first one being CZ-Tronics: https://www.samplescience.info/2020/12/cz-tronics.html

Hi SampleScience,
I'm trying to send you a PM but it seems you've disabled your receipts.
How can I reach you? It's about a demo I've sent you a few years back.
