BTP Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) No discount for those who have the Kontakt version this time. The price is lower though. There's a lot of interesting presets. I've bought way too many keyboard/synth libraries recently but I'm tempted. Edited July 14, 2022 by BTP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PavlovsCat Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 25 bucks for an interesting sounding piano with lots of sound design presets? This is super tempting and I've been very disappointed in 8Dio's string libraries for their very inadequate KONTAKT scripting, but scripting isn't really an issue with a piano library. Does anyone who bought this library or the original KONTAKT version want to share their thoughts on the library? I was already contemplating picking up their Wuli library and would also be interested in hearing anyone who bought it sharing their opinion.

Despite the size of some of their Kontakt libraries, they almost seem insignificant compared to the SoundPaint versions too: 11.39GB(!) for the ZX SPECTRUM UDS Edition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abacab Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Maybe Soundpaint should just start distributing their new libraries on a disk drive? SSD preferably! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EWQL used to do that. I think Spitfire still does? Today a terabyte takes 22 hours to download with a 100 Mbps connection anyway. I just find it difficult to justify allocating 73 GB for DX7, 85 GB for Jupiter 8, and 52 GB for Juno 60 samples... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bradley Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 That’s why I love the Arturia synths and just don’t ‘get’ Syntronik. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the usage standpoint with modelling, Arturia definitely has the advantage. But the Syntronik synths can sometimes sound more realistic. Maybe because they sampled real vintage synths? And the new samples and synth engine in Syn 2.0 are even better! But I won't be collecting any more sampled synths, that is for sure! The house is full! 😂 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe any of us when we say stuff like that, including me. No, really! And I've actually been deleting some sampled synths that I own and never use, such as from UVI and Tracktion. I've set a hard limit for my disk space to use for sampled libraries. Orchestral and other "real" instruments make sense, but synths, nah not really. I'll allow Syntronik to remain, but that's it! Arturia is my go-to now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can pull it off, I hope you can start a support group for the rest of us to show us how it's done. As it stands today, I'm still in the cycle of BUY-BUY-BUY (for mostly KONTAKT sample libraries, but not any very expensive ones anymore) then BUY A NEW HARD DRIVE. But I've been trying to cut back, largely inspired by running out of hard drive space and holding on purchasing yet another drive. Arturia does make really nice stuff. I've liked every purchase I've made of their plugins (and the freebies as well). Top notch stuff. Edited July 17, 2022 by PavlovsCat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSteven Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Enough. There I've said it. I'm not going down this path unless 8dio gives me a no or looow cost reason to abandon their Kontakt line and free up that disk space. Sure it has some nice demos but so do a lot of other libraries that I've not invested in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think SoundPaint is supposed to replace Kontakt; it's either to supplement Kontakt, or to act as 'Kontakt Player', i.e. no upfront costs required. In the case of the former, it's a case of pick the right tool for the right job - Kontakt for more detailed realistic sounds; SoundPaint for synths/sound design.

BTW Arturia takes up some disk space like 30gb. Programmers do a great job using Kontakt as a synth. People are trying to reinvent the wheel with synths. As for pianos I don't really need anymore since. Most of them time my choice for pianos are often the ones that load quick on a HDD. My largest sample libraries happen to be IK. They take up over 800gb. I don't think I'll move those to a SSD anytime soon. The loading times are pretty decent on a HDD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
