There was a wee thread about it just before Christmas but they werent properly up and running at that point, so its good to know they're sorted. -Very- helpful chaps, purveying all sorts of excellent indie Kontakt libraries.

If there's one thing I don't have enough of it's Kontakt libraries.

Actually that site looks fantastic... some things I vaguely remember, and others I don't think I ever knew about... nice to have all that in one place. Love me some quality indie Kontakt goodies!

Crap. I maybe in trouble with this site. I clicked out of curiosity and its very well presented, plus on the first page theres a good number of eye-catching libraries I've never heard of before. For the ones I do know, I've been very impressed with products from Audio Imperia. The Hephaestus demos for Italian Concert Grand are equally impressive, making a quick jump to my wish list.

Like I said... could be trouble. So, great idea!

It's a nice site! Check these instruments based on over 3000 analogue Moog samples - https://www.kontakthub.com/product/rwr-leads/

But ... they're ... from ... Biome_Digital

Biome... They're a bit spammy I see. I know its a tough business to get products out there, but I don't believe this to be one of the better ways of doing it.

@Audio Imperia... No thanks needed, just being honest. Trailer Guitars is next for me. I bought Jeremiah Pena's Photosynthesis Vol 1 from you guys and will definitely be going back for volumes 2 and 3 (even though I see he's listed under Exotic States on Kontakthub).

Also nice to see the Sound Dust stuff on there. I picked up the Ghost Dulcitone 1900. Its a lovely library. I was honestly suckered in by the patch names, an obvious tribute to Danny Elfman, so I was relieved to like the instrument as much as I do.

So much creative content out there. I just need time to ingest all the content and put it to good use.

Hi. I was going to make a post on KVR about the new site but it looks like I've been beaten to it!

Thanks for making the post Millersam.

I sincerely hope you can find something special on Kontakthub. We already have nearly 200 libraries online (including synths, orchestral tools, hybrid tools, drums, sound design) and we are working non-stop to continually add new content and some of the things we are working on are truly spectacular.

Every time you buy you earn Kredits which can be used for money off future orders and special offers.

As a treat - If anybody signs up in the next 24 hours and sends an email to kontakthub@sampleism.com with the words 'I love Kontakt' in the title I will add 100 Kredits straight to their account.

Happy hunting!

How about those that already signed up and purchased?

Since I know you guys are adding instruments to the current content catalog (which I'm sure is an exhausting task) are you guys also planning on implementing a way to casually browse that catalog with definable filters such as items tagged as stringed instruments, orchestral, synths, etc...?

Also, another thing that would be extremely helpful from a customer perspective, is the ability to see the current prices of everything that has been added to our wishlist. Right now it just shows the instrument name, instrument/product thumbnail and the checkout basket... but seeing the price would make it easy to budget what instrument (or better yet... instruments) should be purchased next.

The offer applies to anybody who emails me regardless....

You can already search by category, label and price by clicking the small magnifying glass at the top of the page. Although, I should definitely improve that area to make it more obvious.

As for adding prices to the wishlist.... That's a great idea and I've added it to my own job list to implement at some point in the near future.

Thanks

Any chance for new payment method (direct banking, giro pay something like that without paypal and credit card for european users) with new site ?

I am happy that manually you make things work but just uncomfortable for both sides, so I thing good time for asking

This works nicely... I had dismissed the additional categories as simply ways to filter a specific search. So, yeah... Idiot proofing can be tough!

Oh well... Just happy its there.

Love the new site, and I'm saying that even though I have nothing to sell there, I just think Glyn (Kaneda) did a great job with this project. This is a labor of love, to gather all these weird, leftfield original libraries in one convenient place. I don't think anyone is getting rich with this, so dev are mostly doing it because they like sound design and Kontakt.

Suggestion for the site: a best sellers list and a tags based on music genre.

I like both of these ideas!

Ooh nice to see Audio Thing's Organetta on here. Its one of my favorites and have to admit that I love the GUI for it too.
