The Sound Board

Still USB 2.0 though! I wonder if they moved to USB 3.0 if they would still need to progressively drop the number of ADAT channels going from 48kHz to 96kHz to 192kHz. This is not up to USB 2 or 3. It's ADAT itself. When you have one ADAT port, it supports 8 channels of audio at 44.1/48k. Then ther...

OK. That one left me in stitches! Good one.


Apart from that, looks like a pretty great update. I might get one for when I travel (even though that is rare) to go along with my Surface...

I'm finding quite a number of great sounds in the factory bank... Don't forget Simon Stockhausen and Mikael from Leap Into The Void (at the very least) contributed to these.

Codemeter is somewhat better than iLok at least. But still, u-he's system is the best.

Pardon my ignorance, but if a software is cracked then how does this still happen? Because they never cracked any u-he plugin fully, there are tons of honeypots with even more reactions to cracker infiltrations (like you click some place on the GUI and it opens your browser with u-he website and Bu...

They should just use u-he's system and that's it. It doesn't prevent normal user from using things normally, but for pirate user there are random inconveniences showing up (i.e. melting the GUI on random triggers like every millionth sample processed, clicking a random hidden dot on the GUI etc.), w...

Absolutely.

Changing the whole motherboard is not exactly a drop-in replacement because a drop-in replacement means you wouldn't have to reinstall your OS and all programs. Mobo swap would require that to be done, due to the way OS is tied to the UEFI etc. As far as I understand things.

Would also be interesting to see how Diva and Bazille performs. Not as good as you'd hope, because they're putting lower freq Xeons in this one. The "4.4 GHz turbo" statement only applies to a SINGLE CORE BOOST, not an all-core boost. i9-9980XE would oust most of the specced Xeons for bre...

Anyone wanna place bets on max config price? I'll open the bidding at $18k. With 1.5 TB of RAM and those high-end LCDs? Probably over $40k. This is just insane. So you can have up to 1.5 TB of RAM, but SSD storage tops at 4 TB? Just... :wallbang: Then again, I'm never in the market for Apple. But s...

Kudos to them doing such a huge bugfix update. They could've freely dubbed it 3.2 juts looking at the sheer number of bullet points in the changelog. Almost reminds me of Reaper's changelogs sometimes.

Nah you won't. It's really happening in June

I think they mentioned 32-bit CCs somewhere.

Background loading was introduced in Kontakt 4.1, released June 1st, 2010, so that makes it almost 9 years old now.

Also, regarding OT's mic merge feature. While a pretty cool idea, do note that you will have to secure enough HD space for it. This also means that samples very likely aren't monolithed, which means a loooooooot of write operations on your SSD (and delete, in case these mixes are temporary, but they...

There are many (good) reasons why K6 didn't get the scalability implemented. It will happen eventually but it needs a lot more manhours put into it because things are extremely, extremely fickle and complicated in that codebase. Won't say anything more due to NDA.

As long as all these newfangled samplers remain closed to 3rd parties I don't think it could be considered a direct competition to Kontakt on the whole... Again, it's just one segment of a larger market, and dare I say not a segment that is in majority. I do think OT might do better in their try tha...

I am honestly not too thrilled about the fragmentation of the sampler engines that is apparently happening. But I will concede that I am far too biased and too deep in the whole Kontakt world to see it as a good thing for the market. As long as these samplers are closed to 3rd parties (which they mo...

First Spitfire Audio, now Orchestral Tools – are we witnessing the decline of the Kontakt ecosystem? No, we're not. There are hundreds of other 3rd party developers, and developers mostly developing orchestral libraries, while more prominent on the landscape (at least this particular landscape cove...

Thanks for the kind words, Piet! I only worked on Bodhrans, but your thoughts are very much appreciated. Davide Magni scripted the fiddles, and I'm sure he'll read your thoughts as well. :) Regarding the pitch bend, I hear ya. It's really not hard to add it, though. In a jiffy, for anyone who can be...

Though for me I prefer the clean sound of turning the unity knob and fx off I can understand FX off, but Unity is extremely essential. You won't get an ensemble of players hitting their drums at exactly the same millisecond, no way (which is what Unity being off is). Then it's not an ensemble at al...

Nope, just scripting.

Kyle and one of his friends. '

Ask me anything, last half a year was spent in making of this library (among other things).

IRCAM timestretch is great, but boy does it chomp the CPU.

Yeah, Falcon has a concept of macro controls, which is pretty simple to use to create your own front panels. You can assign any number of parameters to a single macro (and pretty much that parameter can be almost anywhere in the instrument ), adjust the starting value and scaling (effectively restri...
