Melted Vibes: Most Bizarre but beautiful Kontakt Instrument yet... Tips on making it work for you!

[@BeauTylerMakesMusic]

Thanks for the shout out in the description, brother. Very kind of you. :)

[@jefgibbons]

No problem! You’ve got great content on your channel!

[@BeauTylerMakesMusic]

@@jefgibbons Just trying to keep up with you. Your cinematography and coloring is tops!

[@aafinity396]

these sounds in melted vibes are so dope to me. bizarre? yes, in a good way if you want warped, spacey, trippy unique sounds

[@flaviojerome]

2:35 didn't know it could do that! Thank you!

[@JoeyGero]

That beat was so thick I loved it. The Melted vibes instrument seems pretty unique. Great vid as always!

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks! Love those extra deep bass kicks on the beginning of each bar...

[@JoeyGero]

@@jefgibbons same man! Thanks for replying

[@chasingcolours6789]

Excellent tips thank you Jef!

[@jefgibbons]

Most welcome CC!

[@Seshen77]

"New expansion pack I see. I'll wait for Jef's take on it." ...and here I am. Thanks Jef. Short, sweet, and to the point...and still very informative.

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks Felipe! Yeah, it was a quick one!

[@onetoomusic]

This is perfect to give the illusion of being drunk. Sold!

[@k4CLive]

Man that studio is what caught my eye 🔥🔥

[@certifiedbeatz]

Bought this because of your review.. just so detailed like all of your vids

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks Tyrone! Much appreciated.

[@BarryDanielMusic]

GREAT video as always. I thought I was the only person who thought this instrument was bizarre. I find my self turning the "melt" function all the way down on some patches.

[@jefgibbons]

For sure... too cranked up for my tastes at first!

[@TheBiggerNoise]

That one may need to wait for the next Komplete. Appreciate the run through; great video

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks Andy!

[@directive-4]

Bizarre indeed :) very useful tips thank you!

[@wurlbfree1981]

thank you man omg I just booted this up and thought my cpu was jacked up lol what a dope vst BUT strange one.

1:18 Cavallini by Sfera Ebasta and Dark Polo Gang

[@kielhall8363]

Very unique Jef unique indeed

[@jordanburgess4091]

Honestly, I had mostly written this one off. What you've done here challenges that preconception...

[@thiskingbusiness]

Hey Jef, thanks for doing this. It's an awesome plugin/instrument. But I find when I record some kind of melody chords then go to add a bassline, from say...scarbee rickenbacker, no matter how much tweaking I do it seems like the bass is always out of tune with the chords.

[@jefgibbons]

Yeah, are you turning down the warbly effects on it?

[@thiskingbusiness]

@@jefgibbons yeah, even if I initialise the patch, it seems like something "under the hood" so to speak is detuned.

[@chaoschoir4759]

Hey Jef! I’m new to your channel and absolutely love your videos. Keep up the great work man! 👍🏻

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks! Appreciate it CC!

[@EyeconWorld]

Hi, great stuff, love your videos. 8:40 My God that tune is so DOPE I i cant get it out of my head and keep on repeating the last 50 Sec. of the video. Is there any place I can listen to the whole track? Also I bought melted vibes just for that patch. Its Ibiza 4ever but it sounds not at all like yours. Is it possible if you can explain sequencer setting you use. Thatll be a great help. Thanks you so much.

[@jefgibbons]

Hey thanks! That's all it is for now... but I forgot how fun that beat was! Can you explain your question about the sequencer setting?

[@EyeconWorld]

@@jefgibbons Thanks for the reply. Yes this beat deserves a full track. Out of the box the preset Ibiza 4ever sound totally different. Is it possible if you can show your settings. *That was a dumb question and you're a busy man so,.. never mind. You replied , Big thing! . Let me cherish that for a while.

[@jefgibbons]

@@EyeconWorld Hey, if I have a superfan, here you go! Cutoff at around 2:30 (just past 2:00) Reso hard left (7:00) Rotator 8:00, Lofi 11:00, Reverb 1:00, Melt at 11:30... Hopefully that works for you!

[@EyeconWorld]

@@jefgibbons Yo Man,..You are the best!! . It worked like a charm!! Thanks a lot. You just got a super fan for life :-)

[@reazallykhan]

Wow this is nice...it’s what I’m looking for...for hazy beats ...if you smoke green then you will understand lol...I’m definitely copping this .... also jef ... I’m thinking about getting a plus ... can I use/transfer all my existing expansions and instruments on it...thanks jef

[@jefgibbons]

You can definitely transfer all of your expansions, but Kontakt play instruments don’t go over to the plus. (Melted vibes, glaze, lofi glow etc) it really is meant for the person that wants to get away from the computer, and you’ll have a whole lot less power when using it vs a modest computer. Just so you are aware!

[@reazallykhan]

@@jefgibbons I hear you loud and clear... thank you jef

[@v3zMedia]

Bro what camera are you using on this channel? Your colors and contrast always look amazing.

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks! Using Panasonic GH5 and GH5S

[@v3zMedia]

@@jefgibbons Wow! That says a lot about Panasonic. I was expecting you to name a bigger cinema camera.

[@jefgibbons]

@@v3zMedia Yeah, they're great cameras... I had a "Cinema" cam for a bit... I just need the ease of editing/ flippy screen/ nice 4K. AND I need 3 cameras! Can't see myself switching any time soon.

[@v3zMedia]

@@jefgibbons yeah I'm looking to make a return back to KZbin after a long hiatus. I've always liked Panasonic images quality over Sony's. It's much cleaner looking. I might grab the Panasonic S5. I got about 2 months to get my studio setup together.

[@BoosGunn]

Maybe a dumb question, but if I’m using Maschine and I change the key of the song on the hardware, will the key within the instrument automatically adjust as well, or do I have to manually change it?

[@throughthelensfilmz]

Keep up the good work Jeff.

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks DB!

[@PaulLawlerMusic]

What kind of monitor is that ? Thanks 🙏

[@DatBoiTFud]

How do you get the display on the screen to show all of the 16 pads on the piano editor like that? I've tried to change the settings and the window but I can't figure it out.

[@jefgibbons]

Hey Chris! Which screen? The monitor or the screens in the Maschine?

[@DatBoiTFud]

@@jefgibbons the monitor

[@DatBoiTFud]

@@jefgibbons any help?

[@jefgibbons]

@@DatBoiTFud Hey Chris, sounds like the difference between Pad Mode and Keyboard mode on the software, I just made a video about that. See if this helps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJm2kJaFfauFi7s

[@vitocorleone805]

How many gb does this instrument need

[@EBMZEQUENZER]

Hello Jef : I have a question, some of my projects are long gone but the hardware still displays them. How do I get rid of them? Cheers

[@jefgibbons]

You talking maschine Mk3?

[@EBMZEQUENZER]

@@jefgibbons MK2 - also : did you ever hear of UNIFY by plugin Guru ? Worth checking out Cheers :-)

[@Realliedoe]

The play series is very exciting! 1st By the way!

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks realliedoe!

[@Realliedoe]

@@jefgibbons Thank you! Your videos are awesome and has been a hell of a indoctrination into the Maschine Ecosystem

Covid boredom makes you go crazy, so NI made Melted Vibes, lol...

[@realjake5578]

great video as usual! have to say tho, this is the first of the play series that doesn't interest me. the earlier ones were outstanding.....maybe they running low on ideas

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks Jake, it's definitely a niche instrument!

[@aafinity396]

@@jefgibbons exactly. i really like melted vibes because its purposely warped, spacey and moody sounds that take you processing sounds with quite a few plugins to achieve. melted vibes helps get you 85% there from the start.

[@jefgibbons]

@@aafinity396 Good point Aafinity! Like I say in the vid, the best part is you have control over all of the bizarre aspects of each patch, so you can tweak to taste at a really deep level...

[@MrStinkpot64]

Jeff as always thanks .....i wont be getting this

[@jefgibbons]

Thanks for the comments Kenneth!

[@akagerhard]

I don't like "putting the notes" into instrument..I have the midi-roll for that. To me, a vst-instrument shall just sound good - I'm not a fan of "outscourcing" melodies by "ai-automating" them. And let's be honest.. the best thing about your beat was the little lead you played with your keyboard and modwheel... that's what makes or breaks a song and I fear people get waaaaayy to comfortable with ai-sequencers doing the song-writing for them.

[@baishalimitra114]

GREAT video as always. I thought I was the only person who thought this instrument was bizarre. I find my self turning the "melt" function all the way down on some patches.
