  • Cool sound. Pitches aren't properly mapped.

    This is a very cool sound, but notes above C4 play incorrect pitches. (For example, C#4 plays E2, D4 plays F2, and so forth.)

    Two years ago I wrote the developer and asked for a fix, but I didn't receive a reply. Finally I ventured under the hood and fixed it myself.

  • I denoised the kicks, but…

    Hello. I love the concept of this library! Unfortunately, as others have mentioned, I'm getting a lot of clicks in Kontakt—which is odd, because after denoising, the samples sound good in iZotope RX and in the Finder. They only click in Kontakt.

    In many cases, the clicks are occurring before the long samples have finished playing. I'm no Kontakt expert, so I'm not sure why this is happening or how to fix it.

    Here's a wetransfer link to download the denoised kicks:

    The link is only good for a week. It's up to the developer if he wants to download these and incorporate them into his download. But again, the issue of the clicks is a separate issue.

  • Inspiring, but...

    I commend the samplist for this great-sounding toolkit.

    However, there are various technical issues. I'm discovering this library a full two years after another reviewer suggested that the developer take a look at these issues, and I'm disappointed to find, two years later, that the issues remain.

    I echo what was LoFoMusic wrote previously (copied here, with a bit of emphasis added):

    "1 - In the pads patch, the mixer sliders ('1', '2', '3') are improperly scaled. You can pull a slider down to zero, but the sound does not go away. You must pull the slider down way past zero for it to really silence. In the same way, when you pull a slider up, you hear the instrument much sooner than you 'see' it.

    2. In the pads patch, the playable range and the Kontakt keyboard coloring does not match up. For each of the three sounds, there are parts of the keyboard that will not sound, even though the 'blue' indicates they should. Same with the 'Mangled Patches' - for all the pads presets, the top almost-2-octaves of the 'playable range' do not make a sound.

    Some attention to detail would elevate this library to one of the best I have come across. I encourage the samplist to spend the time to fix things, and then maybe get a buddy or two to field-test it to shake out any remaining issues. I think it would yield dividends with this library, as well as with future endeavors."

    One can hold out hope.
