There's a general feistiness creeping up all over KVR lately.

Agree - this is becoming a board that I don't want to visit.

Just a suggestion - if you see a post that you think is stupid, you don't need to respond. You can just roll your eyes and move on. Or, if you really feel like it's something you can't let go of, send a PM to the poster. The rest of us don't want to scroll through endless "you're an idiot" "no, you're an idiot" posts.

Or, you know, go and make some music with all these fancy libraries we're blessed to have.

It's not just here, I'm also seeing it on the photography forum I frequent too as of late. Society (at least when expressed online) appears to be devolving into deeper levels of childishness with petty bickering when one person's opinion steps on another (merely by existing).

haha I suggested them to go outside and photograph stuff..... that seems to be the prescription in all of these forums -- step away from the (computer) keyboard.

That is sort of small given that there are eight instruments. There must not be much in the way of deep multi-sampled content.

The thing is that these libs feel more like synths in their own right than sample libs, it is some of the most advanced Kontakt scripting I have seen so far.

I'm really happy I bought it, sounds are excellent, and very tweakable.

The big red flag is that it is CPU intensive, you need a good system to have full enjoyment of it. I think 16GB RAM is needed

You know, looking at this library some more and reading your thread on it in the samplers forum and some chatter about the M4L versions elsewhere, I think that I might bite on this one. I sort of like the style of the developers and what they are doing. I like the fact that they are working on deep integration with multiple MIDI controllers. I am almost considering the M4L versions instead, but... dunno yet.

It sounds like the Kontakt script is pushing Kontakt 5 to its limits.

You don't think someone who averages 0.02 posts a day might be already?

Evil Dragon or somebody who have done a lot of scripting would have to answer that.

Nifty features I like with it, is that the inbuilt preset manager means that midi learned knobs stay learned even if I change a patch

Rouge One feels like a synth in that the OSCs can be tuned, semi-tuned for a fat fifth

Clone is probably the synth I like the most for the sounds, in a 80s poly synth kind of way

By page 692 it will all be forgotten

Deals and prophecies!

I plan on taking the plunge soon with the Sonic Faction deal. The sad part is that I had decided I wanted to buy the M4L version before seeing this offer, and now I'm back to getting the Kontakt version.

Even more sad... I just picked up the eDNA from Spitfire Audio and its disappointing. The source material for the library is all pre-baked, so manipulation is seemingly limited outside of amplitude modulation and adding more reverb/distortion. In all the reviews I saw on this, I couldn't find anything about the source content other than how it uses the large back catalog of Spitfireaudio... Silly me for assuming that sound design was done via the Kontakt scripted engine. And now, no take backs, no reselling.

Now compare that to Evil Dragon's fine work on Output's Signal. 50 source instruments, and thanks to the routing of FX, sample playback options and modulation controls, you have a far more powerful instrument than what SA has put together.

I also have Whoosh from that free Sonic Faction offering a while back, and I find it an impressive tool. I think they've done an amazing job with theirs scripts and by providing character with their instruments, this makes a great deal at 50% off.

It's more about CPU than memory, my Kosmology sequencer uses a fair amount of CPU due to all the intensive processing needed to target/sequence the different destinations in realtime. I had to spend lots of time optimizing to get the CPU usage down. Once you start doing lots of real-time processing in KScript it can mount up, many libraries only connect GUI components to Kontakt parameters which uses very little CPU in comparison. Significant Memory usage is more about how many samples are loaded into RAM. I have 8GB and don't feel an urgent need for more.
