im 4 minutes into the video right now as I type this and I just purchased it. looking at my confirmation email right now. You just started playing with the strings 90 seconds ago and I was like "thats it im getting it". I got it

The Sample Start feature was introduced in the 90s with Peter Siedlaczek's Advanced Orchestra for use with legato string passages.

That is so interesting, thanks for sharing. There have been so many innovations that have provided a wonder foundation for today’s developers to build on and take us into the future.

great tutorial Simeon, thanks for it!. I have the Lite version myself and also encountered the latency which I had to adapt too. By this video I discovered some other options that I will further explore but again, thanks a lot which refers to all your other videos, it is always a great joy to hear you playing.

My pleasure Ruud, I am so glad you enjoyed watching. It is very interesting to experience how different developers approach the “pre-delay” latency, and it is always nice when they give you the ability to dial things in. All the best.

Hi Simon I'm back for more. Love your video's so relaxing to watch. I've been using Miroslav for years and I think this will make a nice addition. I did purchase the german harpsichord after watching the other video but I prefer the Blanchet 1720 . This kinda sounds like Project Sam oe but with more control. Can you load more than one instances for even a bigger sound? Thanks, Dave

LIFE-CHANGING! What are other traveler-friendly keyboards you can recommend if I can't find what you are using to work with this library? I am an acoustic pianist and this is the first time someone has just converted me into a keyboard lover.

Anix, you would be amazed at the variety of keyboard controllers that are available. The SL88 Grand featured in this video would not necessarily be travel-friendly as it weighs quite a bit due to the action. If you are looking for some portable options Arturia and IK Multimedia have several available. The smaller keyboards of course will not have that hammer-like action but are definitely more portable. My experience with the SL88: Grand have been wonderful as it has the best feel and options for a controller in its price range. Thanks for watching and please let me know if you ever have any additional questions. Joyfully!

Hi Simeon, great video as always! You’re very relaxing and informative! I did buy the library I notice one thing that you have sample start in the middle at 126 ms. It seems as though you’re not facing much latency issues with it set right there. Is it the fact of having a super computer therefore having the buffer all of the way down? Is there something I’m missing as far as setting within kontakt? I notice I can compensate later by adjusting - 126 ms within the daw but doesn’t seem to work live only during playback. Either way thanks bud you’re the review king in my opinion thank you!!!

Jonathan, track delay latency would definitely come into play when live, I just never think about it too much. Being able to shift the sample start and subsequently your instrument track will add an extra touch of realism to your tracks as it then picks up the nuance of everything that happens before the initial notes. Thanks so much for watching and for your kind encouragement. Joyfully!

Hi there again Simeon, thanks for the quick reply! So on this video you’re just dealing with the latency and playing Like a champ still! That’s impressive bud

I am on Eastwest cloud now. Some nice things there but I don't like all of it. I will probably try Nucleus Lite next. Nice advice about shortening of the spiccato strings. May come in handy. It disrupt my workflow to move bars back to compensate.

Thanks, I might pick this up on 50% off (ends today!) I have Jaeger from Audio Imperia and that lacks woodwinds, so this could be a cheap way to complement those (though I already have so many expensive orchestral libraries I strictly speaking shouldn't even consider it...)

awesome demo mate! regarding the choir sustain only have "AH" articulation? also in stacc i only heard around 5 phrases any more options?

@PraiseTracks

John, with the “lite” edition, these are the only options, the purpose is to give you an idea of what the overall sound is like. The larger libraries include many more articulations and phrases, more detail can be found on the website looking at the charts of NUCLEUS and JAEGER. Thanks so much for watching and the kind words of support. All the best.

how do I layer the different instruments, namely choirs, strings, brass, woodwinds to play simultaneously. I saw you in a video showing this but I cannot find it now.

@PraiseTracks

There are a couple of ways you can do this. • Load multiple instruments inside of Kontakt and set them to receive on the same MIDI channel • In a DAW load multiple instances of Kontakt and link them together through the track MIDI echo • Use Unify to create various stacks and layers using multiple instances of Kontakt or other virtual instruments you have.

That does seem like a good deal. I would check out some more of the walkthroughs for East West and it seems that what I saw were using the Platinum Version, which includes more mic positions.

Nucleus Lite Edition features ensembles to give you a sense of the overall Audio Imperia tone. Miroslav Philharmonik 2 is a nice library, and includes a large assortment of instruments, however it is an older library with some limitations regarding dynamic layers. It was one of the first orchestral libraries I had ever experienced. They offer an entry level library as well so you can get a feel for things. Thanks so much for watching, and please let me know if you have any additional questions, All the best.

They sounded too digital for my taste, not bad for lite though

@rumar4u

Probably your setup, with good Headphones and speakers you’ll hear the difference, this Library has very good sounds for cinematic and Epic scores and you’ll find it in almost all major composers setup. The dynamics here can go from mezzo-piano to forte-fortissimo and has a very good integrated reverb. Differences between the Lite and the regular version are the articulations, microphones and the separated sections.

Thanks for sharing the video! Let me tell you something important: God loves you! God loves us ! He is no respecter of persons! because God wants us all to be saved! and let us go to the knowledge of the "Truth" God wants to save us from eternal damnation, which we all deserve because of sin, Who entered the world through Adam, and through sin entered into death, and thus death passed to all human beings, therefore, we are all "Sinners" But God's Love was so great for us, that he sent his only Son (Jesus Christ), gave him to this world, to die and rise again for all of us! No respect of persons! so that everyone who believes in Jesus Christ does not go to eternal punishment, but rather has “Eternal Life! “ Jesus Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures; and he was buried, and he rose again the third day, according to the scriptures Jesus Christ came to call sinners to “Repent! “ and, whoever believes in Him, has “Eternal Life! “But whoever refuses to believe in Jesus Christ, the wrath of God abides on him. Then, as by Adam's transgression, condemnation came to all human beings, in the same way, by the justice of Jesus Christ, justification of life came to all human beings! for all of us who believe in “The Only Savior of the world! The Only Mediator between God and us! The Lord Jesus Christ! “ All of us who trust in Him; we have “Eternal Life! “ Let's all read the Word of God! mainly the Gospels; Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and let us pray to God, our Heavenly Father, every day… God loves you!
