This is the best review I've seen on this plugin. Well done for explaining so well

[@knockriobeats]

Man this video just opened my mind to Playbox. I wasn't feeling it at first but now I get it.

[@JaeFreshmen]

thanks for watching man and yea trust its more than some randomizer chord progression plugin

[@j-genesiz]

I had this plugin for nearly 2 years but didnt use it much, found it frustrating to use. After watching this many of my questions have been answered. Thanks 🙏

[@JaeFreshmen]

much love for tuning in bro thanks for watching glad it help theres alot you can do with this plugin

[@JWS218]

Quite literally the best in-depth of Playbox I've seen. Even better than the official overview. Appreciate the information.

[@JaeFreshmen]

thanks for the feedback i appreciate it

[@WiresOfFire]

Agreed.

[@okrasonic6499]

Thanks, dude! This is possibly the best overview of Playbox I've seen, and I've watched several -- including the official ones from NI. I keep looking for reasons to NOT buy Playbox, but you've just about pushed me over the edge! 😝 I especially appreciate your focus on the *musical* aspects of the instrument. Too many plugin and software reviews are done by people who want to create music with automated tools that do everything for you, without learning much about music theory or playing an instrument. Hey, nothing wrong with that, for those who have a different skill set, or just want to generate backdrops for their vocals, etc. But you've explained some useful tips for *musicians*, including how to tweak the chord settings, import and export MIDI, play single notes as well as chords, layer chords, use alternate scales, randomize only some parameters while keeping others "frozen," set up the equivalent of keyboard splits for live performance, etc. Like you, I'm more about composing and performing than sound design, but the sound design capabilities of Playbox are intriguing. I can see bringing in sounds from Form, Reaktor, or third-party plugins to further mangle in Playbox (not to mention playing around with my own chords and samples). Could be fun! OK, following your link to NI to get myself a new tool/toy. Thanks again! Keep up the good work.

[@JaeFreshmen]

much love thanks for watching, yea im definitely more on the musician side as I play the piano and do finger drumming , im not really a fan of all these plugins making music more automated but the way Native Instruments did it was a perfect example of having the best of both worlds and i appreciate you for using the link to help support the channel and continue with more reviews. Let me know if you have any question.

Das beste Tutorial zur Playbox! Danke aus Deutschland!

I read the reviews of this video and realize this has been stated a number of times but I have to add my comments as well. EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT walkthrough of this product. Better than the documentation itself and better than any video I've seen on it to date. I did not know you could do all of this with Playbox. #mindblown. Thank you for this!!!

Excellent tutorial! I like the way you prioritize what you comment on and the content of those comments. Well organized and focused on what's important and in a sensible order. I own Playbox but haven't used it yet. That's about to change. Thanks for putting in the time to make and share this!

Hi Joe. Watched the full clip made by you. Its awesome. Am a novice. Got Playbox as a bundle for a special price. Couldn't understand the interface before watching your video. NI has really offered an excellent tool...for me its a toy to enjoy exploring. Now I shall be able to move around more confidently inside Playbox. Thanks a ton from Pune, INDIA.

[@coresolution]

This video was so helping understanding playbox. Ty so much I had just bought it yesterday & had no idea there was so many more features.

[@JaeFreshmen]

[@dxstant]

hey man, nice job on this video. Ive owned playbox for a couple of months and still learning more...

[@JaeFreshmen]

thanks man and yea playbox there's a lot to experiment with once you learn more of the in and outs and make your own loopholes like i did for single notes

[@Tbailmuzic]

Very useful video, been trying to figure this plugin out for some time, my 50 years of electronic music composing wasn't helping. Finally a video on how to actually PLAY this plugin. Well done!

[@JaeFreshmen]

i appreciate that bro thanks for watching 🙏

[@NeilYoung77]

Really great, super clear overview -- thank you! I was trying to work out how you can make Playbox drumkits and I guess it's by having just one voice in each chord slot and then adding the right sound (closed/open hh etc).

[@whisdrop4112]

I Bought it imediately I noticed it lower the price, I received it today. Im so pumped right now, I want to use it now!!!.

[@laurosilvestrejr.106]

*I've been looking all over youtube for tutorials on how to install and get playbox working through Ableton Live 11. Its so complicated because playbox is a VST3; which I am new to. I don't even know if VST3 files have a different extention from VST2. pLAYBOX IS NOT SHOWING UP IN Ableton live 11.*

[@DJeMo]

Enable your VST 3 option in preferences and VST 3 will show up under your VST2, when installing in native instruments make sure your preferences in NI is pointing to your plugin Folder

[@laurosilvestrejr.106]

@@DJeMo I can't find the location of playbox in my C drive. Kontakt 7 free version appears but not playbox.

[@laurosilvestrejr.106]

I've run into this issue with other software companies where when I install the software the installation date is a different date from the date I installed it on. The play box software says that it was installed on my computer in March the 25th of 2022 and I installed it in July 2023. So whenever I get support what they do is they install the current version of it, so does that mean native instrument is selling out of date software?

[@stefanengel4714]

thanks for watching i appreciate your feedback, have you also try 40's very own drums and keys its a new play series instrument from native instruments with collaboration with Drake producer "40" i think its dope i also made a recent video about it to if you like to watch it🙏

[@beatkitchen]

Great work 🔥

[@joeymc5272]

Just watched this now as i waited to get playbox until about a week and half ago and just got a chance to sit down and check it out and i will say your walkthrough is the best ive seen on YT. Native instruments should of hired you for this instead of using that chick who did less than a half ass job on the walkthrough. Great job. You saved me a me a lot of time in the long run. Keep doing the tutorials and ill keep watching. Subscribed.

[@JaeFreshmen]

thanks man much appreciated , i'am sponsor by them but i wish they picked my video to put on the channel, specially after getting this kind of feedback, thanks for the support will do

Great vid. TY🙏🏾

[@laurosilvestrejr.106]

Is this software compatible with Ableton and can you use your own midi controller, such as AKAI

[@JaeFreshmen]

you not going to be able to control the settings i dont think but you will still be able to use your keyboard to play the different chords

[@laurosilvestrejr.106]

@@JaeFreshmen So that means I will have to manually adjust the settings with my mouse?

[@JaeFreshmen]

@@laurosilvestrejr.106 you got to do that regardless even with my mk3 im still using the mouse

[@williambarbour4845]

How do you set up the midi inside of play box??? Desperate for help 🙏

[@JaeFreshmen]

at 2:08 , what midi you have?

[@z0rm0.7]

Can I split it later? So in the hook played everything and In the verse I can put the vocals out our the strings

[@JaeFreshmen]

yea i would just clone it and take out what you want in the "sample"

[@TheEtbetween]

Excellent

[@warmadden]

Excellent, thank you!

[@JaeFreshmen]

thank you for watching 💯

[@ribthiefz8283]

Is there a way to play single notes? solid explanation btw!

[@ribthiefz8283]

The way i set it up right now is that - i just clear all chords and record each note (for instance all white keys, C4 -to-C5). So in that way you could record each note individually in the scale you're playing. But i'm still wondering if there's a way to just turn off "chord mode" all together and instantly make everything single note.

[@JaeFreshmen]

@@ribthiefz8283 you cant turn it off bro this is meant to be a chord plugin but having the loophole that i showed in the video is the best way to go about it and you can save it as a preset and you can change the octaves very easily

[@rogerio21111]

Hey, nice review. I'm wondering, under the chords tab is there a way to have the scale in order? I.e, I pick the C Major scale and then it goes in order I, II, III etc? No matter what way I do it, it just has it random and I'm just used to thinking up chord progressions from the scale! Thanks

[@JaeFreshmen]

you just got to understand most chord progression are played in inversions but you can easily record them in , but as for it being set to that i dont think its and option but you can make it and save it as a preset but bro challenge yourself to learn inversion dont just get comfortable doing things one way
