I can assign those knobs to my midi controller and write basslines right away. Monark is good too when I'm too lazy to carry my Moog Voyager to the next room and warm it up for 15 minutes. All I need is a 96khz recording session, a mouse, pad controller, and battery 4. The solid state effects built in are also what you need to write that beat. I use the transient shaper all of the time. Routing of sounds into different busses are great. The most fun I have with it is using the mpd232 because I like the pad feel the most. I use this program with my push 2, mpd232 and maschine studio. You can't sample directly into it but if you record loops in another program you can import it in a cell and start copying it do nondestructive chopping of the sample. The effects in Kontakt are also great.īattery 4 is my main instrument out of the bunch.The program includes a lot of bread and butter drum sounds without needing to look for these one shots on other libraries. If you take the time to learn it through various tutorials you can really do some good sound design with your go-to loops and one shots. Also it's a powerful sampler to use if you've got a loop you love mangling. It's good enough to write melodies too and that's what counts for me. Kontakt for acoustic instrument patches to play melodies too. I don't need to use everything bundled, but here are my go to's I have had it since the 2016 summer of sale. Later versions, 10 and 11 have even more possibilities, but I haven't emptied this lot yet. These are the ones I enjoy the most, but check out the whole package at some point.
#KONTACT KOMPLETE ULTIMATE 11 UPGRADE#
Make sure you understand the license transfer process and possible upgrade paths for each version. You can pick that up, or a later version, second hand at a good price.
I have Komplete 9, that runs fine in the latest Live 9.7.x and macOS 10.12. I don't use it because i have Sampler, but many like this quite advanced sampling synthesizer. What version of Live do you have? There are some nice string sounds to be had also with the Live instruments, depending on taste and any realism requirements. I'm new in the production thing and heard this name for the first time. Basically i was planning to invest some of my saving on a good String vst and i googled "best vst plugins 2017" and got a recommendation on KOMPLETE and KONTAKT.
