How do you keep a [???] in suspense?

Imagines a MODO Syntronik with real oscillators (rather than samples) ... ?

The SampleTank 4 engine is the same for both, but the instrument collections available are based on the edition you purchased. Comparison here: https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/include/st4/soundlist/SampleTank_4_comparison.pdf

1. Synthesizers and samplers: Too many to list all, but my favorites are AIR Music Loom 2, Amadeus Symphonic Orchestra for Kontakt 6 Player, Applied Acoustics Chromaphone 2, Arturia Analog Lab, Arturia Pigments, Cakewalk Rapture, IK Multimedia Hammond B3X, MODO Bass, Philharmonik 2 and SampleTank 4 MAX, iZotope Iris 2, KV331 Audio SynthMaster 2 and SynthMaster One, Seaweed Audio Fathom Pro, Tracktion Biotek 2, Waves Element 2 and Flow Motion, XLN Audio Addictive Drums 2 and Addictive Keys Grand Piano. I heard Bach played on a Moog synth in 1975 and was immediately hooked! I'm an amateur who bought his first synthesizer in 1984, and then proceeded as a hobby to focus on sound design with mostly electronic and ambient music, with environmental and cinematic soundscapes in mind (I like Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Jarre, Vangelis, Hans Zimmer, etc.). I enjoy layering sounds from different instruments to get interesting results. But I do also enjoy traditional acoustic and orchestral music, as well as rock, folk, blues, jazz, funk, country, etc. All good music is welcome! Band in a Box can expand your musical horizons! 2. Intel processors marked "K" (unlocked clock ratio) do not ship with a factory cooling fan. Must purchase cooler separately, and a stock Intel unit is available. The consumer market for "K' processors typically will install custom aftermarket cooling, such as liquid, etc. for overclocking. 3. I did. It is 2x (one front and one rear) intake in front, and exhaust in rear, for case cross ventilation. 4. Not much fan noise as the system functions near idle most of the time. Playing a single piano barely registers on the CPU meter. 5. 600 watt PSU for growth and max efficiency. I wanted the option to add a dedicated GPU later. Plus keeping the load at 50% will let it run cooler and should help to extend the PSU life, have a quieter fan, so best to have near 2x what your expected continuous load is. For example 300 watt load --> 600 watt PSU. Besides this one was only $11 more than the same product with 500 watts. See the article "How to choose a power supply" https://www.newegg.com/insider/how-to-choose-a-pc-power-supply-buying-guide/ Power supply calculator here: https://www.newegg.com/tools/power-supply-calculator/?cm_sp=NeweggInsider-_-BuyingGuides-_-ChoosePSU 6. HWiNFO64 (free) has temp/voltage/fans sensors view: https://www.hwinfo.com/ 7: I use two physical Samsung SATA SSD drives "C: " EVO 860 500GB (OS/Programs) and "D:" QVO 860 1TB (Projects, content, and samples), and one internal WD SATA HDD 7200RPM with 2 logical disks (for archives), plus a couple of WD Elements portable USB 3 drives for image backups. You can add drives as you see the need, but I would start with 1 SSD for "C:" system drive, and a second drive "D:", either HDD or SSD, for projects, and then an external USB 3 drive for image backups.

Well then I would focus on fixing it in the Kontakt standalone version. Then it should work fine as a plug-in for Cakewalk. As you stated earlier, "It is the same when using Kontact in standalone mode", which would indicate that this sound is not Cakewalk related. Have you opened a support ticket with NI yet? Since they are the publisher of both Kontakt and the Studio Drummer, they should be able to sort it out.

It matters very little to me. I'm not buying anything else from IK this year anyway... ???

The other 12 Waves plugins that I bought this year during their sales were already covered, so scored a free upgrade to v12 for them! No WUP needed there! ?

And it's probably the most dry version ever!

Waves price for me to WUP my individual 7 plugins, plus the H-Series bundle was $129. EveryPlugin made me a better offer!

If I recall correctly, the REmatrix Solo bank can be opened in the REmatrix player. Edit: Found it! From 12/2017 email from Overloud following the Gibson/Cakewalk shutdown: "Please note that REmatrix Solo (ProChannel) has become a REmatrix library. You can use it with the REmatrix Player (free in all plugin formats)." https://www.overloud.com/node/180 The REmatrix SOLO library can be found here: https://www.overloud.com/installation-rematrix-lib.php?p=2210

If you get this sound problem in Kontakt standalone, then you have already narrowed it down to Kontakt and the instrument, and not Cakewalk. If Cakewalk can play Addictive Drums 2 without any issue, then it is not likely to be either a Cakewalk or a computer audio issue. When I played the audio sample you provided, it sounded like a distorted reverb to me. Did you try turning off all FX in the instrument?

I'm guessing that detailed settings panel was supplied by the host DAW he was running, and not by Kontakt itself... In this case the top bar of the plugin shot in the video appears to be FL Studio.

Processor fan: You need to find the cooler that fits your CPU processor. I use the air cooled stock Intel fan for socket 1151 CPU. Temps run 40C at idle up to 80C at 100% use. Motherboard controlled fan speed. Power supply: 600 watt EVGA 600BQ, semi modular. Computer case: Nothing special. Full tower generic aluminum ATX form factor case, with removable drive bays. Have used for 3 separate builds in 15 years. Case fans: Need sized for the case you are using. I have motherboard controlled case fan speed with: 2x ARCTIC F8 PWM - 80 mm PWM Case Fan, PWM-Signal regulates Fan Speed (4-pin), Very Quiet Motor, Fan Speed: 300-2000 RPM

1.3 -No. 3.1 -No. You won't NEED any MIDI 5-pin ports, either in or out, to setup your DAW as you have specified. My earlier suggestion implied that some controllers and interfaces have them. Nice to have, but usually not needed. Some scenarios where a user might find them useful, but I don't see your plan as requiring them: a. An old MIDI keyboard synthesizer without USB --> 5-pin MIDI Out to audio interface with 5-pin MIDI In. The interface provides the needed USB connection to the PC so the keyboard synth can act as a MIDI controller for the DAW. b. The extra 5-pin MIDI In/Out on the keyboard would be useful if you were also sending a MIDI sequence from the DAW PC out to an external MIDI hardware synthesizer, as in "a" above. For example connections would be: DAW PC USB <=> USB Audio Interface with 5-pin MIDI In/Out <=> 5-pin MIDI In/Out connected to old MIDI keyboard/synthesizer. In this case the Keyboard could send MIDI to DAW as a controller, as well as receive and play back a MIDI sequence from the DAW using its own internal sound source instead of the virtual instrument in the DAW. In any case you would not need to use the 5-pin setup, unless you plan to acquire some old external MIDI gear. Even then you could still buy a separate USB MIDI interface for that purpose if you ever needed that.

LOL! Even with the outrageous shipping charges... ??

That one looks good!

MODO Guitar?

PSSL is going out of business!!! No returns or exchanges! https://www.pssl.com/pages/liquidation-sale

Well, so free shipping for full price item then...? Amazon Prime can probably match that, LOL!

Yup, and I didn't even mention that you also get Ableton Live Lite, a compressor and amp from Brainworx, Klanghelm SDRR2tube, Lexicon MPX-i Reverb, Mäag Audio EQ2, Output Movement, SPL Attacker Plus...

I'm waiting for my 1/2 off the $149 upgrade from Pro 4 to Pro 5. ?

The only thing I see that may be an issue with Studio One 5 Artist is if you plan to upgrade it to Pro. It's $299 to do that upgrade! But the Artist package is probably enough for many, now that it supports VST.

This looks like the best value for a new user! Comes with PreSonus Studio One 5 Artist https://www.presonus.com/products/Studio-One Plus the Studio Magic software bundle, including Arturia Analog Lab Lite, iZotope Neutron Elements, KV331 Audio SynthMaster Player, UJAM Virtual Drummer 2 PHAT, UVI Model D piano, and more. https://www.presonus.com/products/Studio-Magic
