In the Dunscape expansion presets, why both the folder and the presets have a "#" character as a prefix? does it have a special meaning?

[@StefanoMaccarelli]

Hello, Dunescapes was the first Exp Pack Preset. So that is just a different type of name scheme. So no special meaning. 🙂 But just for info, if you put a "#" before the name, that presets it will be the first of the list.

Hi Stefano. In your video the first Snapshot preset in your Time Menu folder called 00 Starting. I bought Elements yesterday and in my time menu Snapshot preset folder there is as first the init file. Is this the file that I have to drag into the root folder of time menu? In the video you didn’t show where the init file comes from. And the last question: Do I have to create a snapshot called 00 Starting or is that only your own Snapshot? Thanks for your reply.

[@StefanoMaccarelli]

the init is also from Element_01, it's the same. Or you can create it without any settings or sounds loaded.

[@StefanoMaccarelli]

About the TIME MENU "presets" you have to use the Installer for that presets.

[@andreashellas7442]

@@StefanoMaccarelli thanks for your quick response. I understand, but in the „manual install“ folder of Zero-G Elements V101 are the snapshot Folders 01Elements, 02Elements Lite and also 04 Elements Time Menu with all Snapshot. I try some of them and they work. So, no need to install anything, because you put everything inside the download pack in version V101. Thanks and also let me say, wonderful and outstanding work.

Hi I placed the free presets "dreamyscapes" in the right folders, it works fine in elements , but there is no sound in the elements lite version?

[@StefanoMaccarelli]

Hi, Element LITE has different presets. Use the intaller or do the Manual Installation for the Element Lite Factory Presets. Please Read the Manual. These EXP Presets are for ELEMENTS TIME MENU :)

[@StefanoMaccarelli]

About the CPU PLEASE USE KONTAKT IN MULTI CORE as I explained in many TUTORIAL! By the default KONTAK RUN in MultiCore Deactivated. But in particular for the VST3 VERSION its importan activate the MULTI CORE. See the Kontakt Manual. Thanks!

[@jayantsingh9308]

from where i can download dunescape and dreamyscapes please help me?

[@StefanoMaccarelli]

If you have purchased Elements MSS in these days, you will find it already included both for Kontakt 7 (in nki format with audio preview) and as a Snapshot version (you need to install it). So, you have two options: either redownload the library with your serial number via Conduct, which will give you the latest version of Elements (1.07) plus all the included expansion packs, or visit the Zero-G website, specifically the Elements Modern Scoring Synth page. On the left side, scrolling with the mouse, you will find a series of graphical tabs for the various expansion pack presets. By clicking on them, you will find the download link.

[@jayantsingh9308]

@@StefanoMaccarelli for those presets we have to download samples as well?

[@StefanoMaccarelli]

@@jayantsingh9308 As I explained, if you purchased Elements MSS recently, you have the latest version. However, if you have had it for a while and haven't installed all the updates that have been released, I recommend downloading it again from Conduct. This way, you'll ensure that you have the latest version (1.07), which is also compatible with Kontakt 7. It includes all the presets in .nki format for Kontakt 7, as well as the .exe or .png installer to install all the snapshot presets. If you have consistently installed updates, you can simply download the expansion preset packages without having to reinstall the entire library from scratch. 🙂

@@StefanoMaccarelliHi Stefano, I hope it's ok to reach out here, I just purchased Elements and I just wanted to ask what is easiest way for me to install it into Kontakt 7? I got the Elements downloaded with Conduct Downloader and it unpacked everything into a folder. Should I just drag the whole library "Zero-G Elements" into "Quick Load" and that's all I need to do OR should I just drag the 4 instruments that are in the root (Elements, Elements Lite, Elements Audio Import and Elements Time Menu" and then procede to do more installations move new expansions somewhere else? I am bit confused as I am used to installing kontakt instruments by Native Access and documentation that comes with Elements, the pdf document is for me very unclrear about installation using Files approach in Kontakt. Could you give me some feedback how to install stuff properly?

Off topic can you do your Windows 11 optimization video in English.

HI Chris, I will.

[@DavinciGirl]

Stefano for the timemenue i do not have this folder i did install and all works. but where are the files Time Menue / Timemenue #Starting.... I build the folder but can not find for this last timemenue folder the files

[@StefanoMaccarelli]

Hi, I don't Understand what is the TIme Menu #Starting. Do you Have Elements V 1.01, With 04_Elements Time Menu? , Well that's all. Follow this tutorial and create the folders as showed. To have the Factory Time Menu Presets you have to use the Insaller that you have in the Update Page if you have downloaded the update. zero-g.co.uk/pages/elements-v1-01-update
