Drum Masters STm kit pieces by category for USD group buyers

[Jus11]

As Squids once said that we are allowed to share nki files (just patches, no samples), so I would like to share these. (Squids, if this is not ok for some reason, please delete this message.)

Here you are:

These nki files for Kontakt (or Kontakt Player) are most useful for Ultimate Studio Drums 1 and 2 owners. (If you took part in just one of those group buys, or if you own only some of the Drum Masters 2 STm kits, move extra files to trash.)

What have I done: categorized, checked and "saved as" the GM versions of kicks, snares and hihats and both GM and IMAP versions of crashes and rides to spesific folders by instrument categories. Why? Because these folders are suitable for using the next and previous arrows in Kontakt's instrument window, which makes browsing all kicks, snares etc. a lot easier.

The folder "My fav toms" is empty, please "save as" them there yourself if you like.

Unzip and place the "STm Kit Pieces by Category" folder into your Infinite Player Instruments folder. Do not change any given folder names. If you do, you may have to search for samples while loading, I guess. Also, if you have changed the names or places of some of your USD folders previously, these may not work without searching for samples.

After placing, rebuild Kontakt database and quick-load list.

Please note that I made this folders for my personal use, so these are very much unofficial. Patches were saved with Mac Pro and Kontakt (full) 3.5, yet as far as I know, these patches should work in Windows as well.

You will also find a couple of modified versions of kick/snare/hihat patches I have made; if you don't like them, delete. Couple of instruments use Ultimate Studio Space 1 or 2 impulse responses (at least in Kontakt; I am not sure how Kontakt Player deals with these additions). One or two modifications I made use acousticas.net Bricasti M7 impulses which are not only great but also free (see http://rekkerd.org/acousticas-releases-bricasti-m7-irs/).

Categorized during a sweaty weekend (it took some thousands of clicks... made me think I must be a little autistic). If you find these useful, please feel free to refer to me (jus11) at esoundz.com. Have a nice time making music.

Edit note: now also patches for crashes and rides are included.

Thanks for this really useful feature.
Worked fine with Kontakt 4 (full version).

Nice to hear that! You're welcome.

Dear Jus11,

Thank you! This is a great idea and I appreciate the time and effort. I think this will be quite useful.
