![]() Kontakt is uninstalled since three years by me. I'm just balancing up - it's not flawless. This made my libraries end up very differently each time, but they fixed this rather quickly. They released some version if it were 4.05 or something that introduced multithreaded loading, to speed loading up quite a bit. ![]() I thought at first they were not good vendor selling poorly mapped libraries - but I really think it was Kontakt that is to blaim - knowing what I learned later. I bought some libraries from SampleTekk a few years back, and thought their presets were sounding funny most of them. ![]() It seems that 3rd party libraries don't succed so well. You think this is because their customer are satisfied with how it works? "Art Vista Virtual Grand Piano 2 is leaving the Kontakt Player format." ![]() These guys I found the other day, and they have a firesale because they are leaving Kontakt right up as hosting their samples. But there were a bug if you had a leading zero after an underscore in the number of the midi key it should load on. The automapping should work in how the samples were made. I tried import samples from this Maestro I mentioned. A lot of key switches did not work and it sounded funny. Restoring projects did not restore sound as they were when saved. I bought an expensive $700 brass library, Mojo Horn section and it did not save properly with host. When vendors are evasive is you sense rather quickly, they did not want to deal with that. They blaimed the sample library, I should talk to them - rather than admitting they had a bug on their hands - even though I said that Vsampler did a good job on this. Well, they claim to have GIG import - so that should kind of make them work harder on that. Bugs that make things unusable as far as Kontakt is concerned are VERY few and far between, I haven't stumbled upon anything that prevented me from working with it (except perhaps the gain calculation bug in 3x2 filter which is quite nasty, fix might be a new version of this filter at a later version, we'll see). And sure, there are bugs, and I am reporting those when I stumble upon them. Kontakt is pretty damn rock solid over here. Hence, it's not really possible to perfectly convert stuff - unless you're orphaning individual zones to their own groups, which is quite inefficient.Īs far as bugs, any plugin has them to a certain extent. In Kontakt, this is not happening at zone, but rather on group level. In GIGA, each zone could have its own filter and envelopes etc. In the meantime, looks like I might have to spring for Logic Pro X if I want to have a sound somewhat better than a 78RPM recording (vinyl) of Toscanini's reading of this piece.There are differences between how instruments are structured in GIGA and Kontakt. One of these days, perhaps we'll be able to assign UFSes and VSTs directly in MuseScore and all of this will be moot. I do love the fact that Musescore allows us to hear what we write, or transpose. even copying and pasting the track to an existing file with say a bassoon track left the violins mute. But that's only if that was the only track in the file. Which worked! I was able to assign a violins plugin successfully and hear it. So, I went through the exercise of exporting the MIDI files as PARTS and imported the strings section into Garageband. However, whilst you can assign UVI-Workstation plugins to the various parts, only the bassoon appears to "take": the others do not "play back" at all. At first, I exported what I have transcribed so far of Mendelssohn's Hebride's Overture to midi and it imported to Garageband just fine. However, importing MIDI files exported from Musescore don't have the same outcome, unfortunately. I wouldn't go out and hire an orchestra quite yet to enthrall the populace with my Opus quite yet, but it does seem to work, to a degree. I created this little 12-bar theme (sting?) with bass, strings, horn and bassoon, and the effect is really quite stunning. and then, things sort-of went to custard. bargain! I'm financially embarrassed (limited funds) so was happy I had GarageBand on my 2012 Macbook Pro that I picked up for a very reasonable price. UVI had their software on special and I picked it up for just over AUD$212 ($139 US). I have been thoroughly impressed with Samuel Ricke's work with Bach's glorious music, most particularly with the MP3s he's created in Logic Pro X and the UVI Orchestral Suite.
