Wow thank you!🙏

Fantastik

great walkthrough best i have seen for that library! thank you! :)

Thank you

so cool! thanks for the great demo and tutoring

thank you a lot. Well explained.

So GREAT of you to do a deeper look at HOW. They should pay you . VERY USEFUL

Well done and thanks so much

Came in handy a year later!

In Kontakt 8 when you add sample packs for use in the leap page (one shots) , is there a way to get artwork on to these? As this doesn't seem to work for those. Thanks for the video either way

If anyone is viewing this in 2024... Kontakt 8 uses the "NKS2_software_tile.webp" file in the same folder locations as shown in this video. The dimensions are 420x316. Everything else is the same info regarding this video. If you utilize the method in this video completely it will still work, but the ratio of the dimension is taller in Kontakt 7 so in Kontakt 8 it will cut off a bit of the top and bottom... plus using the new method will give higher resolution images anyway.

what a powerful instrument. 🦾

Using a controller can you assign the key switches to the controller pads and knobs? I am the keyboard player who plays all of the brass sections in our R&B band. I am more interested in how this program would work in a live situation. Not sure how much I would use the licks or the phrases. I might use this with my DAW but probably more often playing live.

Thanks! Alternative workflow is to download a suitable picture to the folder created in NI Resources image folder. Open it with MS Photos and save a copy in the same folder as MST_artwork.png. Delete the original downloaded photo if you wish. Worked for all my 8Dio-library images downloaded.

Love it!1 ❤ Now we need EZ BRASS!

I've recently been watching a lot of your library demonstrations and it's always a joy. Your're the fun uncle i never had. 😆

Отлично!Только вот голос громкий,а звуки тихие.

as a 15 years old jazz enthusiast trying to be a composer, I really want to be like you, I will keep practicing every day to make a track that is beautiful as this, love from Perú ✨

Can create custom library like gui maker?

Good video.. But.. I got it work like you said int the library view and it appears there with it's image all fine and dandy and when I click on it, it launches. But it is no where to be seen in the original kontakt view with all the library names running down the left... Any ideas

nice track!

is there a way to fix the sidebar icon?

Thankyou so much!

is there no latch or hold button for play that? do I have always press a key for any sound?

What am I doing wrong if the batch resave is causing the app to crash? I’m doing batch resave in standalone mode

Thank you so much for making a video on this! It was incredibly helpful! For Mac users the Native Instruments/Kontakt folders are located at: ~/Library/Application Support Just paste that location into Go to Folder and the rest of the process is the same as on Windows.

Thanks! I'm trying to make me own little custom Kontakt Library. Do you maybe know how to import images for custom libraries?

Can you load in your other orchestral libraries?

SL replied to a comment I posted a few weeks ago about this library, and in it they confirmed a new Ultra Engine instrument coming out in about two months !! Thanks JS Cac

Those random cacophonies... you need to Arpologise for those! 😂 Nice walkthrough, James. Ty.

I grew up with sample logic; now I think they've lost their way in the last few years.

Another great video James 😉👍. Curious, what's the midi controller to your left ?

Hi James thanks for the video, much appreciated 👍

Thank you ! very helpful ! but for some reason (and even after beeing 200 % sure of renamming some folders the right way) the images don't show up in kontakt on a few folders. But successful operation for 99 % of it ! Thanks

I love the sound of this thing, and the fact that it is not locked into Kontakt! Hopefully we'll be able to import our own sounds at some point!

Thanks James just picked them up today and initially they are a pint of confusion, you've helped thanks :)

Just spent an enjoyable hour adding images to 5 third-party Kontakt 7 instrument folders, thank you. FYI, the only 'failure' I had was with The Wildmother's Dulcimer. This is the exact name as shown in Kontakt when clicking on the folder, as you advised. It's also exactly how I put it on the NI images folder. Nada. I've tried it without the apostrophe, in both places, but still no luck. If you have any thoughts on why this is so, I'd be grateful for them.

Loving the instruments and the vid, great to see them in the DAW too, and super work on the composition

Hi, Is there only Elysion 2 playing in this track and nothing else? :)

Even though chamber has an amazing sound, I honestly thought studio did sit way better in your song, both have too old GUI unfortunately.

What's really important is there: THE SOUND. How does it sound? Completely badass, that's how! It has a deceptively simple layout, but the signal can be radically modulated, even within the oscillator section. The filters are very powerful and sound as juicy and rubbery as you like, or as clinical and precise as you need them to. There are many different types, and all I've tried so far leave nothing to be desired. The new Moog filter is outstanding, and the fractal filters, though pretty bizarre, can allow for some really original, noisy, nasty sounds. Dubstep kids will have a blast with these! The oscillator section is simply superb. There's a lot here, and I won't go into all the details, but I've not yet found an easier to use Wavetable implementation in a very long time. I'm very, very happy to have a synth with powerful wavetable capabilities that doesn't live in hardware. It's about time! I can't wait to hear the wavetables that get added in future updates. The stock ones are already incredibly useful, but I'd like to hear lots of morphing, twisting, stretching ones. The more the merrier! All the other oscillator types, including sample players, are pretty wicked. I'm really excited to see where all this goes in the future. The purity and power of these sources is astonishing... no aliasing or digital fluffiness anywhere to be found! This synth is a dream to program once you understand the basics. You can whip out fantastic-sounding patches one after the other once you know your way around. Saving is not a hassle and is very straightforward. Creating a new patch is made easy with several useful templates on hand. The effects, though often not complicated, generally sound superb. The reverbs seem especially tuned to synth sounds right out of the box so you don't have to go tweaking. The modulation effects sound very rich and sweet. The delays are quite flexible, and everything else generally does its job with aplomb. No complaints! All around, this is a fantastic-sounding synthesizer, and the various Output modes, such as Psychoacoustic, are really the icing on the cake. There are very few, if any, soft synths currently available that are capable of sounding this rich and powerful with so little tweaking. I have many, and I love a lot of them, but this just makes everything so simple... everything's laid out sensibly, and I can go about as fast as I can think. Brilliant!

Very nice review!. Not only that, but also to see how you use the library in your score and the thoughts behind it. I just bought it a week ago, and try to use every single free moment to play and discover all the features.

Export to midi is need in orders to create a full score! It has little to do with using different sample libraries IMHO.

It's sad that new symphobias both 2 and lumina use different approach for the samples and some instruments sound different than they did before (symphobia 2 v1.1.3 and lumina v1.6 sound was way more powerful at their tuttis)

wow

Nice track! I love ProjectSAM and use the Symphobia's in every important project

i love this library so much, you have some cool videos. I am using this for a video game very soon. For like this part where you enter a jungle scene then into a volcano which is also an ancient temple. it's pixel art 2d game. I think this library will do the job and then some.

i love this library, used it on a house track recently, but it doesn't have the growl.. so they just released that new Growl Sax and holy moly that thing sounds awesome. getting it any day now

tight
