Check out the review in bronxsound's lead post:
http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/apr09/a ... ydrums.htm

There are a number of interesting points in the review, including some opinions of "room for improvement." And, FWIW, I think all the "room for improvement" opinions have been fixed, or in the process of being fixed.

From the article:
Given that Ocean Way Drums was put together by one of the greatest audio engineers of our time, it should be little surprise that the audio quality is beyond reproach. The 19 kits on offer here are all excellent professional specimens that would grace any recording you cared to put them on: clean, clear, fast and larger than life. The dynamic response of the hits is musical and appealing, and the hint of snare rattle on the kick and tom hits is great at gluing the kit together as a whole.

Hey CONGRATS! You're at $129. WELL DONE! Well deserved as people are really getting behind this one and it shows. Alright so next stop: $119! You can do it. It's only been 2 days. You've got 28 more! So if this breaks 300 then there will be a special bonus added and if it breaks 400 another and 500 another... that's how these things go. They can only get better the more people join. Keep up the good work!

Those top of the page posts from Bronx and Reverend are really impressive. We get the deluxe treatment! I don't know what we did to deserve such dedicated help but we sure do appreciate it. Thanks guys!

Certainly Receptor can handle Kontakt 3.5, and presumably the sample sets can be moved into the appropriate places on the Receptor. I guess I'm not clear on what, if any, functionality is lost from using these samples in Kontakt 3.5 instead of the Infinite Player, and whether the Infinite Player needs to work on the Receptor in order to authorize the sounds, etc., to that "computer"? Anyway, certainly would love to know, these sound great.

Great idea. We'll try to work that in too. We're adding images from the sessions as well.

I am still working out the midi files part which is why it is vague at the moment. It may possibly include a thousand midi file grooves from Groove Monkee - the ones we've been giving away but I don't have 100% confirmation on that yet. However, it WILL include new iMap grooves that are designed to really take advantage of the extended iMap like nothing else has before. There will be all sorts of rock, funk, hip hop and fusion grooves - mostly played by me (finger drummer from under the sea).

I will give you all some free ones to play with so you can see the extreme high quality of them and their realism and feel which is more than you might normally hear from General Midi grooves.

You will need to install the Infinite Player. It's a (kind of) virtual dongle. It's a form of non-intrusive copy protection. A number of Kontakt sample developers are going to this.

Do you have detailed install instructions for the Infinite Player on the Receptor? Plugorama didn't show any info on compatibility for Infinite Player, or install tips. If I can get that info, I'm pretty much in - don't want to buy and then find it won't run for some arcane reason.......

VGP http://www.plugorama.com/customer/produ ... ductid=503 is a Kontakt player. Sample Trumpet http://www.plugorama.com/customer/produ ... ductid=639 also looks like a Kontakt Player. These would be the same as Infinite Player. Infinite Player is a Kontakt Player.

Again, I hope Squids can clarify this.

+1. Would like to know that the instrument "headers" are the same in Kontakt as with the Infinite player, in other words all the sweet controls and scripting stuff is still available and not just "access to the samples" functionality.
I'm pretty sure that's how Kontakt 'library' products usually work.

Agreed! Both of those seem to have dedicated helper installers from Muse, so we'll see!
