Thanks for not leaving us behind; I'm talking about Kontakt 6 users and OS10.

true ! sometimes it’s hard to follow updates.

[@CrypticSoundFX]

What I love about your channel is you're really quick (or even the quickest) to review new plugins. Keep the uploads coming!

Thank you, made my day this comment :) I try my best too keep on top of the latest library’s, I’m lucky enough to get early access to some libraries from a couple of different companies and couldn’t have done it without everyone’s support!

Straight away!! "I still dream of Organon..." 👍

Can you drag the midi inputs on those rhythms out in to your DAW?

[@Joe-blogcomposer]

Don’t believe so as they are recorded phrases instead of shorts playing a midi sequence.

Hi, thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge! Well, I'm a guitarist, and I was looking for a Kontakt library, for strings, with a rhythm function like several others have, such as session string among others. Since I'm not a keyboard player, I was looking for something that would make my job easier when composing, or doing a cover, etc. And as you say at minute 5:43 you have to play in time, so it doesn't get out of sync... but I realized that it's quite annoying, because for example, if I'm playing a chord, and I want to leave a finger on a note, and I change the notes with the other fingers, chaos begins! 😩 Can't that be fixed with some function? Or is that just the way it is? I think it's perfect that it feels human, and everything is natural, but I think there should be a button to NOT humanize, or something like that, so as not to deny deforming the music, apart from the fact that that means a lot of editing time in the DAW later, and that's where everything is wrong. It's a shame, because it sounds incredible! Any solution bro? or advice? It will be very welcome, thank you very much for sharing your work, greetings!

Sadly theirs not an inbuilt feature similar to Arcade where you can force it to quantise/play the sample on the beat. But as long as you’re roughly right it’s simply a case of highlighting all the MIDI and quantising it in logic. Their might be a MIDI FX that could help, I’ll do some experiments and get back to you

@@Joe-blogcomposer Thank you very much for your prompt response, my friend! You do an excellent job! Greetings from Argentina!

[@wolfunplugged]

thanks for showing that! I could get weak today and press the buy button...

[@Joe-blogcomposer]

It’s your after quick rhythms and feel it will add something new to your collection it’s a tempting treat!

It sounds incredibly robotic and massively quantized. My view, as a cello nerd, is that it's awful. £15 would be too much.

[@Joe-blogcomposer]

Thank you for your honest opinion :)
