Ocean Way Drums Player app:
Ocean Way Drums:
-- a free update (for OWD Gold and Platinum?) that provides additional samples (Chinas, Splashes and extra kick drums) as well as GM Maps and new Multis. That's the Version 1.1 update and it IS available by contacting support (at) sonicreality (dot) com - email your serial number so we can verify it. An official announcement will be made later this week with information on how to get it automatically using your serial number.
-- the new (as at 02 March) download purchases come with the 1.1 update already in so you don't have to run the update. Just previous Gold and Platinum users.
Infinite Player app:
-- we're going to do a bunch of updates after Kontakt 3 Player is released (free update btw for Infinite Player users),
-- when we do that we'll also add some other enhancements so request away!
IP Drum Master kits:
-- the GM kits are very likely to have round robin eventually,
-- also a round robin non-extended I-Map is planned,
-- like Ocean Way Drums, they too will be updated to have V-Drum maps that round robin,
-- these are just preset updates actually so both that AND extra mixes will be FREE updates over time,
-- a free update set of patches for all of the Drum Masters and Studio ProFiles Grooves with grooves mapped to the upper part of the keyboard above the kit ("Performance Groove Maps"),
-- subsets of grooves that go together mapped to C6 and above chromatically for up to 2 octaves,
-- and then there are multis that combine the grooves with the kit so they can be played at the same time live,
-- for a future free update we are adding to the list to have Attack/Release for the directs and the overheads too. (at the moment we just put it there to tailor the rooms),
-- multi piece kits (currently all loading in omni) - assigned to MIDI channel 01,
Konstruction kits:
-- we're adding a free patch update that does interchangeable sections of Konstruction sets in multis which are really cool,
-- and some fancy control of each loop (available for the Player through scripts).
-- some other tricks coming such as convenient individual slice maps,
-- We put together a structure where groups of instruments are separated by octave and given their own instrument in a multi so you can easily mix and match groups of instrument loops from DIFFERENT Konstruction kits. ... A free update to the people that got it in the group buy.
Sonik Kapsules:
-- we're doing an update that gives you more control of the sound (a GUI script with specific knobs and parameters); that's a free update,
-- we might even go through it and add some patches too...
============================================================
Squids,
Please, please, please - when you issue these updates can you issue just the patches not the full libraries wherever possible. I realise that will make it a little more work to manage but it will save you a ton of bandwidth and download time. And save us download time, broadband traffic fees and installation time and hassles.
So, taking as an example, Danny Gottlieb ST Drum Kit (the current product), you would have these two:
- Danny Gottlieb ST Drum Kit v1.1
(complete library and patch updates, for new buyers or for anyone who wants it all))
Danny Gottlieb ST Drum Kit v1.1 update
(the patches only)
