Kontakt, the worst NI thing ever? You serious? It’s pretty clearly the best all-around sample player out there IMO. And certainly not the worst thing NI has ever come up with.

It’s kind of their flagship product and supports a huge percentage of the content that comes along with Komplete.

Massive is great, but if I had to choose between the two, Massive would go, easily. I can replace Massive. There’s nothing out there that can do what Kontakt can.

EDIT: ***contacted by email***

I already have The Classic and Funkmasters. Picked up the other 4.

That picture confused me as well, for a few minutes. I’d suggest fixing the manual. Or you could blame everyone who reads it for not understanding the less-than-obvious fact that it doesn’t exist yet. Even when it does, yeah, maybe it will be free cuz it’s in the manual. I can assume that, right?

Usually it is Microsoft that is to blame, and I’ve searched my computer for errors, but can’t find any.

And your expertise in server side applications that you can’t possibly have any knowledge of or see in any way lead you to this conclusion how? And then you checked your computer (a client) for an error that was happening on the server. Got it…forgiven…but you aren’t probably on the right track.

A 500 error can only come from the server.

Either toontrack’s site was down, their web app didn’t like your request and choked on it, or you hit some other site by accident…DNS screw-up or the like. Latter would be odd.

Toontrack should probably check their own web logs and server event logs for this if they care about tracking it down.

There’s a fair share of 6/8. You’d need to click, I believe the half time button (x1/2). Not at my DAW at the moment to try it.

Possibility to retain the chord progression is one of the things that are high on our feature request list. However, although it seems like a simple thing to fix on the surface, it is not as straight forward as one might think. If it where, we would have implemented it already 🙂

Knowing a little bit about software, but not as much as you…the only reason it would be more difficult now is because it wasn’t accounted for early on.

The chords are associated to the disconnected MIDI files and no ability to keep them associated to the timeline was accounted for…perhaps even ignored to the point that backtracking and redesign is necessary.

I realize this is a challenge that no one else has undertaken. Certainly when you begin transposing majors to minors and visa versa and chord progressions where certain bass lines or leading tones flow gracefully into one another, only to be jarred by the user entering some unpredicted chord change, then the real challenges beginning.

Thank you for doing this. Keep up the good work.

Yeah, get Elton John and Billy Joel in for a session before they croak. Jerry Lee Lewis is still around too, but not for long.
