MusicMan Posted yesterday at 12:48 PM Share Posted yesterday at 12:48 PM I'd almost considered grabbing this at $45 a few times on sale.. glad I didn't! Not that it wouldn't have been worth it at $45, but knowing I could grab it for $20 now instead makes me glad I didn't. I've picked up some decent libraries since then, but I do wonder at such a low cost whether it's worth grabbing simply for a different flavor, or inspiration. I've read some reasonably positive comments about it, although it is a much older library these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmcleod Posted yesterday at 01:05 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:05 PM I jumped on this deal... be aware though, that the current AWS outage is causing issues with Pulse (their download manager) registering the serial number. It'll no doubt be sorted in a few hours. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to hear your thoughts on it once you've been able to get it installed and had a chance to play around with it Mark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esteban Villanova Posted yesterday at 01:51 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:51 PM I have it and like it. The amount of patches it has makes it confusing to use. Stick to the TVEC 4 and TVEC 3 patches for the best quality. Also, they're very dry, so you'll need to create your own "soundstage" using reverbs and whatnot. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy1 Posted yesterday at 02:42 PM Share Posted yesterday at 02:42 PM  It was my first real library. Since I've gathered so much I no longer use it. If you are a library hoarder you buy it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amberwolf Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago For thsoe that have this, could you tell me if the samples themselves are stored as wave files, or ncw? Or one big integrated file? Or ?? If they are wav or ncw I can use the sounds themselves even though I can't use the kontakt instrument itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full Kontakt is needed I know what it says on the sales page for it.   The question is, when you have it installed, what format are the samples in the folder?  Normally these are found in the Samples folder within the instrument (or each individual instrument if there are multiples).  many Kontakt instruments actually have their samples as plain wav files. Many others have them as NCW, which I can convert to wav.  So both those types I can use.

When I originally bought it as a crossgrade from the defunct Gigastudio version. Those were wavs. back then like 20 years ago. It's highly unlikely you will ever see an orchestra library in wav format these days. Then developers with large files don't use simple naming conventions either. Sure simple Kontakt libraries might have wav files but nothing like this. Anything developed after Kontakt 2 can't be converted to other sample formats either. I'm not sure why you would want to go down that road.
