Native Instrumens Expansions... opinions?

[martinjuenke]

Okay, bought it.
I’m Underwhelmed.....

Martin, I understand that the organization of the pack is not so great, but how are the sounds and presets for Prismatic Bliss? This pack is “made in collaboration with Mode Audio”, and I really like some of the other sample sets that Mode Audio makes. It’s nice to have everything organized in a live pack, etc., but to me the sounds and presets are really what matters! Any comments on the sounds and presets?

The sound presets for Massive and Prism are good imo: not too simple but not too over the top as well. Interesting and usable, but far too less to justify the total price.
If you have a coupon or there will be a sale... why not make yourself a present to play with? But full prices are only justified imo if you primarily work with Maschine or Battery. The Synth presets are (from my point of view) just a nice add-on.

For anyone who wishes they could hear a bit more of the expansions, this YouTube channel has a walkthrough of all the construction kits from most of the original Machine expansions.

Well it looks like the number of synth presets is pretty pathetic - they are mostly padded with samples. For example Prismatic Bliss has 16 Prism presets (despite the name).

Looked and listen into it while I have a coupon code for 25 euro I will never use (I have never used any so far cause when I buy NI stuff then in a sale and there it dont work), all the ambient/electronic stuff I thought sounded interesting but I must say as a none-machine owner even 25 € is far too much for some massive and in some case prism presets plus some battery kits.

I think they are looking for a way to sell off their machine stuff twice or something like that, no, me not interested, better get a good prest pack or a cheap kontakt lib for that money.
