That’s what I do, so I don’t care if it’s Kontakt player or full Kontakt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told him yes, that doesn't use the NCW Lossless compression, and that VASTLY increases storage needs for their Libraries. I told him I think that they are making a big mistake by not making their existing libraries Kontakt Player compatible, especially the V8P ones. Most of their heavily invested customers are already familiar with Kontakt. He didn't seem to care much.... I’m pretty sure by now they know exactly the differences between the two and they’re simply not interested to invest in Kontakt player licenses to sell their products. They are in business for years, and if they thought it was a mistake, they would have changed their business model a long time ago about Kontakt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlowg01 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 So for those who bought it, do you think it is a good purchase? I have Majestica and I like it, but it is so washed out due to the natural reverb and mic positions. I'd like to know if the additional mic positions, especially the spot one(s?) might be more dry? Also, any other opinions. Doing Google searches led me to believe that people had differing opinions and some had buyer's remorse at $1500, but no real discussion about the mic piece or additional articulations.

I knew this would come up and it's really not the point. The point is that a library that lists for $1,500 should be more Kontakt Player friendly. I don't care if their 8DIO Libraries aren't Kontakt Player, but the V8P ones, at the regular price, should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite happy for $100. Had I paid $1,000 I might have buyer's remorse, but definitely worth what I paid and then some. The Synth sounds alone were worth the $100, but that's just my opinion....YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm well aware of the features of Kontakt as a long time user. My point was that these Devs are far too "Profit Greedy". It shouldn't be that much of a problem to make them Player compliant"! Many devs offer FREE Libraries that are KP friendly! A dev as big as 8DIO shouldn't be trying to "squeeze" the profit lemon at the expense of the customer, not to mention that, by being "KP" friendly, they open up to more potential customers...but hey, what do I know...I'm just an armchair quarterback! Really, when you think about it, it's bass-ackwards. Kontakt Player libraries should be the ones that DON'T show up in the library panel, as they are the cheap ones, and the more expensive libraries should AUTOMATICALLY be in the full Kontakt Library panel! But logic seems to elude Devs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
