Wondering if Musio changes its subscription model or the company stopped operating later, are the lifetime subscription members still able to continue using all the Musio instruments?  Is lifetime subscription exactly the same as owning all the Musio instruments for life?

I have Slam Dawg, but it does not sound good at all.

Personally I think these sound quite dated as far as this type of sounds go.

Yes, I think so, too.  And the reverb is terrible, extremely muddy.  Can it be turned off, or it is baked into the samples?

Just bought and tested out the dynamic levels.  I think it will be quite useful.

Note: Zebra 2 owners, who have also the Dark Zebra, will receive the upcoming Zebra 3 for free (... it's been coming for a long time, but there is hope).

Is this quoted from the u-he website?  Thanks.

Edit : Got it.  Urs said it himself in some forum posts.

Wondering is it possible to send the 4 loops to 4 different outputs in Kontact for further processing in the DAW?

Edit:  Yes, it can, but have to do it under the hood, not in the GUI.

The loops don't sound very inspiring to me...

Wondering how does it sound and what's the installation size?  Thanks.

Quick questions to v1.5 users:

1) Are the legato 1/2 articulations in polyphonic mode by default, and the legato mode is need to be enabled somewhere?  If so, how and where?

2) Are Snapshots available in the v1.5 instruments?

Thanks.

Bought Aviram Arabic Strings and have buyer's remorse.  The reason is that this newer v2.0 does not even have true legato and portamento which the older v1.5 has.  The legato 1 and legato 2 articulations are sustain articulation indeed and are always in polyphonic mode.

The second reason is that quite a few articulations only pitched up and down a single sample and spread it across the entire keyboard.  As a result, you get some much speeded up cartoonish sounds in the higher register, and some slower devilish sounds in the lower register.  This makes those articulations quite unusable unless you only play the notes within the same octave of the sample being manipulated.

Thirdly, when I was reading the manual, I found tons of features like Snapshots, Monophonic Mode, Monophonic Retrigger, Polyphonic MonoRetrigger, Harmonizer, Gate, Step Sequencer, Arpeggiator, etc. are all missing in my GUI.  I have no idea what is going on.

I hope I was missing something that the legato and polyphonic modes are actually hidden somewhere, and the speeded up/down samples can be controlled.  Please shed some light if you know how to do so.  Otherwise, I am quite disappointed, thanks.

I've got it for $17.09.

Wow, that's more than 81% off.  Can I ask when was the sale?  Black Friday 2019?  Need this to pair with the Aviram Arabic Strings, thanks.

If you're looking for something that would work perfectly with this, there is the Eastern Percussion Module from Zero-G.  It doesn't have the greatest sounds on a per instrument basis, but it has a ton of ensemble MIDI patterns in all kinds of Middle Eastern music.  When you play them all together I think it sounds great, and there's nothing like it, really.   I really like it, particularly when I layer in better percussion in front.  Zero-G often discounts it a lot.  Get it HERE.

And of course, there is the NI Discovery Middle East.

 

 

Wondering what was the lowest price Zero-G Eastern Percussion Module sold for?  Thanks.

Has anyone tried the demo or actually got this plugin?  PhoenixVerb is on sale as well.  Can I ask which one is better?  Thanks.

I'm sorry, but Muze's libraries are crap. Most of the controls don't even work. Just do a little research. Now, this is a new low for APD for endorsing crap like this.

You have the full version?  Are there any actual reviews for this library?  Thanks.

I've had CinePerc for a while now and haven't found any issues, though it's a big library and I don't think I've explored absolutely all of it.

If you want to hear what the MGM Scoring Stage sounds like with other instruments, the brass in this is from CineBrass.

Thanks for the track, but quite difficult to judge the room sound of CineBrass because the sounds become a bit muddy in the passage when all instruments are playing, thanks anyway.

I haven't yet tried to mix these with my other template mainstays -- that will be tonight's experiment --

Really helpful preliminary overview, thanks.  I do notice people complained the CineBrass legato quite a bit.  Anyway, await your results for tonight's experiment...

I watched some YT videos about CinePerc that there are tons of problems like noises and no sounds on some keys, etc.  Wondering are those fixed?  Also, the MGM Scoring Stage sounded a bit heavy.  Would it be difficult to mix these instruments with other brands?

Anyone bought it?  How is it compared with Riffer?  Thanks.

Bought FAW SubLab, really worth $32.  After learning the GUI, I can easily generate the bass sound I want in just a few seconds, highly recommend.

I've never quite understood the Loop Craze either, although I have gotten a few when they were super cheap or free just to see if I could find a way to incorporate them into my work but so far I just haven't felt the need to try and use any of the loops I have. Phrase based companies are a different story and can be useful but even then they are for niche cases. Since this is their first time, it seems, making a non loop based VST I can understand the skepticism but I have to say I am actually tempted by this one. Although I have plenty of Virtual Synths and Kontakt libs that can cover this ground I can see how useful it would be to have a tool with all the sub bass sounds you need with options to manipulate them further with Drive and ADSR.  At $20, I'm still thinking about it. At $10 I would have probably bought it already.

 

Did a bit of research, and I think SubLab will fit the bill much better.  Although it is a bit more expensive, but I think it will be more useful in the long run.  https://futureaudioworkshop.com/product/sublab/

Anyone bought this? Is this good? I cannot find any walkthrough, tutorial, or review about this in the net at all.

After choosing a particular chord progression for say, guitar, is it possible to find the matching progression for bass, piano, and other instruments to construct an entire song?  Still wondering if I can get something out of it in my workflow, thanks.

It is quite difficult if not impossible to incorporate this kind of library into one's own song which already have a definite chord progressions, am I right?  I have some cinematic ones from Ueberschall which are quite useful.  But in rock, pop, jazz, etc., I am still thinking in what situations this will be most useful since the chord progressions are all fixed.

Listened to the loops, not quite useful in my opinion.  Does anyone here actually use these loops in any of their works or projects?  I really can't think of any situation I can utilize them, thx.

Does anyone has the problem of missing the Snapshots folder and the nksn files after unzipping?  Also, my manual does not show anything about Snapshots installation neither (see attachment).  Please help out.

Nevermind, got all files after re-downloading the zip file.  Problem solved.
