You HAVE to hear some of the rooms that are included. Glass Viper - Weird name for a cool and very unique sounding synthesizer - very in your face. Pitchwheel - Real-Time Pitch Changing plug-in Quick descriptions:įusion Field - a very unique sounding, very nice reverb.Ĭrowd Chamber - Coolest effect I've seen in a while !! Can duplicate up to 2,000,000 voices of whatever you feed thru it with separate stereo positioning and more. They are all unique and totally interesting in RealKuhl ways. It's almost impossible to single out a "must have" effect from the guys at QuickQuak. The totally cool interface to Crowd Chamber It's easier if you just watch the 2 videos they created - the 2nd one is the better of the 2 videos if you're short on time. It's basically a step sequencer that you can program when a certain effect will happen and the effects are very cool (Stutter, Ring Modulator, Bit Crusher and an effect they call Replicate). They are new and help create sounds and effects that were not possible until this was introduced. While being a newer company, they are bringing out tools that are not simply duplicates of plug-ins you have seen before.
This is worth checking out for the capabilities of the plug-in alone, that is for sure. It supports all formats, has a very nice interface, Imports REX, Apple Loops, AIFF, WAV and more, has smart synchronization so all your loops are sync'd to your host, built in effects and even a built in convoluation reverb! All for free. UVI have released the UVI Workstation which could easily become your next sample playback "go too" plug-in. This might be a limited time offer, if the link dies, please let me know. Once you have the Kore Player installed, Go Here to get Compilation Vol. This Compilation pack won't work unless you have the plug-in.
If you don't have the Native Instruments Kore Player, Go Here and Download it first. CPU usage is minimal, compatibility with all plug-in formats is there. But for calling up a sound and using it in a track, then this is a very slick system. Many of you reading this won't want to go there, but there are sounds where changing elements other than the 8 pre-assigned knobs would be nice. The only drawback in my opinion is the lack of in-depth editing. The patches from the Reaktor Animated Circuits are also worth mentioning since they immediately come to life when you call them up and then you can dive into serious Sound Design Nirvana by playing with the 8 way Vector pad or by simply moving knobs that have names like Flow, FrqShift, Grain, Reverb Time. The Sequences are locked to your DAW tempo. The Urban Arsenal patches are really quite useful with an acoustic piano with record noise in the samples and 4 Hit Hop Sample Kits which have 1 octave of samples (C1 - B1) followed by 1 octave of sequenced patterns that use the included samples. Junkie XL created 5 of the patches including a sample menu with over 60 drum samples. There are some very useful sounds included. which contains 100 patches from 11 of these Soundpacks for FREE. To celebrate the holiday season and frankly just to get people to consider buying these soundpacks, N.I. Prices range from 59.00 up to 229.00 with most of them well under 100.00 per soundpack. 1, Absynth Twilights, Kontakt Retro Machines and even Urban Arsenal. Since the release of the Kore Player in early 2008, Native Instruments has been putting a ton of energy into new Soundpacks and currently have over 15 different Soundpacks available for purchase with names like Massive Expansion Vol. When you download the player (for free) it installs 50 patches that are in many cases, quite useful. No other company could do this because, quite frankly, no other company has this many powerful, unique virtual instruments to choose from in the first place. It's a cool concept that is unique in the world of virtual instruments.
So you can select one patch and it's a spacey Absynth patch, call up the preset next to it, and it's a map with 50 cool drum samples played thru the Kontakt Sampler engine while the next sound is a very unique ensemble from Reaktor that starts playing when called up. The Kore Player is unique because it contains the "engine" from REAKTOR, MASSIVE, ABSYNTH, FM8, KONTAKT and GUITAR RIG. If you are not familiar with the Native Instrument Kore Player, maybe it is time you took a look.
