This video is the reason I bought The Instrument, and fell in love with it. I use it and Scaler 2 and Surge XT to make all my music. Thanks Ave for the hookup!

This is probably one of the best things I’ve heard from you. You definitely sold me on this plug-in. I’m going to have to check it out.

Bought this plugin in Black Friday awesome plugin the shaper is a side chain function and if you hit the record button you can actually drag out the full midi chords so easy to use

thank you lol I was confused

Ave, so glad you finally got around to this one bro. Also very glad you find it useful.

This has been all over my Instagram for months. Finally decided to put it in KZread and was happy to see a review from Ave.

I've been looking at Phil's plugins for minute now. They look very well made and non gimmick-y. Thanks for your review!

Thanks Ave. Another great review as I purchased this plugin. Much respect!

Awesome Review here. I was on THE INSTRUMENT device because of THE HACK Expansion, THE BOUNCE, THE ESSENTIAL DRUM KITS was free along with the various expansion packs available for the VSTs Phil created. All very good quality software. I also purchased THE LIQUID. I'm using it on my vocals in a new R&B joint I'm currently working on. I just purchased. THE PATTERN plugin. I haven't gotten a chance to get into it yet. Though I'm sure that it will be as satisfying as my previous purchases. Hats off to Phil Speisor. Keep up the great work.

I just bought this joint today I see all the capabilities of it from recording to midi drag and drop etc. I like the fact this plug also has an output where you can use another vst instead of the sounds in it. That's what made me bought the joint , the midi drag and drop and the fact you can use another vst instead of the sounds in it and plus be able to use the functionalities in it to still generate chords and melodies etc.

I'm glad to hear it, I'm interested in this plugin for sure.

You shined light on this Ave, I used to flip pass this in a hurry, I nearly didn’t even play this, but this does the job, and these days simplicity is a blessing over a kazillion options. Neat plug-in

you do the best reviews ave . best channel on KZread !!!

Strong efforts indeed... yours and the plugin!

Brooo....you didn't use it to its full potential, it creates the bass and melody with just the fist chords..this is crazy I have it,and I take to church and play real time soooo much more you can do ..and I bought Kyle's 🔌 and sent it back fast ,thanks for your reviews sir....

Looks promising.

For some reason, installing this has been a nightmare for me. I got the plugin installed, but can't get it to "find" the presets/data. And for me at least, once you open the control center it won't close when you are done with it, except to go into Windows Task Manager and "End Task" there. Arrrrgh.

Hope you make a full beat out of this, sounds lovely bro. Thanks for the heads up on this plug in too.

Can you put the library on an external hard drive???

Just purchased. How do I find this within Ableton Live 11...somewhat newbee to these plugins

Im gonna make a beat right now with it!

Yo, how did you add a library to this instrument

Hey DJ Ave are you using the FLKey 37 in this vid?

It’s fire

🔥

4.24 chords…lovely.

Couldnt you get this by using scales and chords in reason? Im trying to see if its worth buying given that reason has a chord sequencer built in

I can't get any technical support on an install issue Anyone know how to bypass the bot and get a human???

Is it possible to integrate The Instrument into NI Maschine and work with it there ??

Omg FINALLY!! Ave finally reviewed it 😂😂🔥🤟🏿

Exactly. AS DJ Quik famously said in one of his raps "You don't have to sell DOPE bkz It sells itself while they kick back & just collect the wealth" no truer words ever spoken/quoted facts! And the fact that it has a so called SIMPLE GUI is a BONUS not a minus bkz a lot of the times all those extra features slow down work flow, deflect your central focus, & many times is useless in the broader perspective of things production wise. SIMPLE Is always better than complicated. Especially when that simple element simply DELIVERS exactly what your trying to accomplish sonic wise. The only tike you need PIMPED OUT featured VSTi plugin is if ur SOUND DESIGNING! I have plugins that I use specifically for sound design, for making my own sounds/sound packs etc. Then I have my "Go 2" preferential VSTi's I use In my productions bkz they suit my sound palette, instrument selection taste, user friendliness, & most importantly "Work flow"! This would be a GREAT addition bkz the sounds are SO INSTANTLY LUSH that they do not need a lot of processing treatment facts. You CAN HEAR THE QUAILTY of the samples which Is apparent. All the different scales, progressions by genre makes It a must have. Especially If you don't know music theory, or can't play keyboard. Fortunately myself I can do both ahah lol So having this would be hi key CHEATING for me ahhaha!! I'd be making beat's 30 seconds to 2, 3 minutes with this bkz It's like having "SCALER", "Insta-chord", or "Captain Chords" & a high quality sample VSTi all In one facts! This one goes In the must cop it list lol. I've never even heard of It until today. Just goes to show you how over saturated the VSTi/music production software market is right now.

Dope. This is a perfect example of why a quality product is far more important than the marketing. Even if Kyle Beats fixes his plug-in, it is too late. The damage is done, and his credibility has been reduced. With this as his competition, it's a wrap.

Keep adding presets and it's golden.

How would you compare this software to Scaler 2. Which would you buy 1st? SUPER Dope beat Ave. You make it look too easy, way too easy. Did you ever learn to play keyboard or is it simply years of experience showing through? I myself am just beginning to learn to play keyboard so that I can compose more easily and it is an agonizingly slow process. I wish that I had learned to play piano when I was young. Inspired by FKJ (French Kiwi Juice). That dude is phenomenal.

I would buy Scaler 2 first as a keyboardist. But of course if you are in it for the sounds, this vst fits quite well in nearly any mix (with some Eq of course)

Those who are amazed by this thing must never have heared about Scaler 2.

Miss the old days of c/r licensing.

The Fact that you get downloadable content in the future is wild. Well worth the price.

Every subscription based anything is thinking like a parasite. DUH!

How does this compare to scaler 2 and could u do a comparison video. I was between this and scaler 2 during Black Friday/cyber Monday sales. They looked pretty similar and after your review, the similarities, a couple other reviews on scaler 2, and the fact it’s been around longer I went with that, would love to see a shootout with the two.

I hate subscription models, but have recently been dabbling in film scoring/composition type stuff. I needed more articulations and instruments than my Komplete 14 Standard provided so started seeing what else was out there. I ended up getting the EastWest OPUS thing but its a subscription version called Composer Cloud+. For the past few days i have been blown the fuck away by how much high quality stuff i get more 200$ a year. its like 20k$ worth of stuff Anyways, i couldnt help but to think about Kyle Beats and how absolutely little to nothing new you get with his subscription shitsynth. I just realized this sounded like a commercial for eastwest, but it just sets a bar for how much content you should be getting for your hard earned monthly subscription money.
