NOSTALGIA Download Pack 2 (WAV, KONTAKT) Full description: Whatever your chosen musical genre there’s a place for any of these sounds in your music. Whether it’s old-skool lo-fi beatboxes, huge Gothic Tron sounds, smooth Prophet pads and strings, beefy Moog basses or leads, classic electric pianos, swirly string synths, cheezy toys, classic samplers, brittle digital synths, evolving S+S textures ... you name it - with over 4,500 samples and more than 1,100 patches, it’s probably there in this huge Kontakt collection that has effectively been 40 years in the making. The library is presented in NI's KONTAKT format (NOTE THIS IS NOT A ROMPLER or PLUGIN - with this version you will simply be downloading the Nostalgia SAMPLE LIBRARY in WAV format which you can use with any music software, but everything has been set up in KONTAKT patches which you also get, so if you have NI KONTAKT then all the instruments are already programmed, mapped out and playable). Kontakt makes no compromises in the playing and performing of sample-based instruments. Its powerful multi-mode filters, envelopes, LFOs and FX will give this library enormous flexibility and a wealth of creative possibilities. Load the provided .nki patches into your copy of Kontakt, or, just use the WAV files with your favourite sampling software. REVIEWS: (click the name of the magazine to read the full review): "Truly wonderful sounds!... Nostalgia is excellent. Zero-G and Steve Howell should be congratulated for putting together such a large number of 'classic' sounds in a single, very affordable library. I had no problems creating complete instrumental pieces using just the sounds within Nostalgia. What's more, [the Kontakt patches] make very good use of processing options to add further colour and movement to many of the sounds.. What is here sounds consistently good, the samples are well programmed.. If you like the sounds of classic synths and drum machines, but could never afford to buy even a modest selection of the electronic instruments represented here, this library is an excellent way to get a flavour of the sounds without breaking the bank. For sheer fun and 'bang for buck', Nostalgia is certainly worth FIVE STARS, and I'd probably give it more if I could! Rated: 5 STARS out of 5" - SOUND ON SOUND magazine, UK "If you’ve got a taste for the decidedly retro then you’ll absolutely love this.. the list of sounds provided reads like a classic synthesizer museum guide, but also offers a wealth of sounds from practically every chintzy sound source you could possibly imagine... There’s a phenomenal amount of obscure drum hits slotted in amongst the usual 808/909 business, which are bound to bring back a few memories to the majority of you – we swear we’ve heard them in many a pop classic over the years. The pads are of an exceptional quality as well, especially the glassy, organic collection of FM soundscapes – the likes of which make Eno proud.. This is a truly wide-ranging collection for ‘through the ages’ synth fans" - FUTURE MUSIC magazine, UK "As you would expect from such key players in the field, the sounds available on Nostalgia are of very high quality.. and there’s a variety on offer that will keep you hooked on this title for some time.. it will appeal to all kinds of dance music producers.. suitable for styles as far apart as soulful house and dark drum & bass.. you could create full tracks with this.. with the sheer usability of the sounds I can see Nostalgia getting a lot of love both in the studio and on stage... Verdict: Great fun and high quality, this is one of the best retro [sample libraries] currently available" - IDJ (International DJ magazine) "This is a commendable package... The perfect sample library for the synth enthusiast on a budget. Nostalgia gives musicians, sound designers and producers access to a wealth of instruments, many of which haven't yet been emulated effectively as virtual instruments... All of the synth sounds breathe character and it truly is a delight to play each of the classic synths, many of which you will recognise only by sound and not necessarily by name.. Scrolling through the patch list gives an idea of the depth that Nostalgia provides: there are sounds for nearly every commonly used synth, as well as a number of obscure synths and beatboxes... We were impressed with the sound quality of Nostalgia's sample library" - MUSIC TECH magazine, UK If you want to read about this inspiring library in more depth before purchase, click HERE to download a guide to the full Nostalgia library (.zip file, 318 kb, expands to give mini-website viewable in your web browser) - including indexes of all Kontakt instrument files, and programming notes etc. Also, READ ALL ABOUT THE INSTRUMENTS FEATURED IN NOSTALGIA ON STEVE HOWELL'S WEBSITE - CLICK HERE. NOSTALGIA Demo 1 (mp3). NOSTALGIA Demo 2 (mp3). PLEASE NOTE: This download provides WAV and .nki files only. These .nki files will load into all full versions of NI Kontakt or NI Kompakt, but are not usable with any Kontakt 'Player'. The free NI 'Kontakt Player' (the one that is available from the NI website as a free download) is designed to load libraries from products that are 'powered' by NI software, such as the original boxed DVD version of Nostalgia which was powered by NI "Kompakt Instrument" software which made it a plugin (that version of Nostalgia is no longer available however). The NI 'Kontakt Player' will load .nki files but only in a 'demo' mode (limited time), so you need Kontakt or Kompakt to use these .nki files. The WAV files can however be used with any software.
