I've made a template for anyone who wants to import this into NI Komplete Kontrol (and presumably also Maschine)

Just unzip this folder to \Users\Shared\NI Resources\image\Box of Tricks (On Mac- You'll have to work it out for Windows)

Some beautiful instruments (almost worth it just for the sublime Vocal pad) but a couple of niggles
- the scales available in the Harmoniser should really match the scales in the Jammer - in some instruments both scripts are present but it's not always possible to match scales.
and the Cello is a bit disappointing

Hi,
I'll look into the scales comment with Dan, hopefully that should be possible.
re: Cello - we do stress it is not a conventional cello! it's how she uses it, and how she herself played it in the studio.. it's basically an effect to be layered in a track, she likes the harmonics from it. You can't do a Bach cello solo with it!

Jammer can limit pitch in many, many ways that Harmoniser cannot. You can set Jammer to a single pitch for instance.
So it is always possible to match the Jammer scale to the Harmoniser, because the Jammer scale is freely configurable and can have any number of notes in it. You don't have to use those preset scales -- you can LEARN a scale from MIDI or click on the notes you want to include or exclude.
We can't make the Harmoniser scale freely configurable because it needs scales of a specific size and types to keep track of root position and scale degrees, therefore you can ONLY use preset scales.
If by chance you simply don't know what a Harmoniser scale preset actually means -- ie. "what the hell is D# Locrian ? I want the Jammer in that too" -- turn the Jammer OFF, set the Harmoniser ON and to D# Locrian, turn all the knobs off except set one Note to "1". Then play each note chromatically from D# upwards listening to which notes have been changed. Any notes that have been altered simply need to be turned OFF in the Jammer. (Or maybe quicker, just Google "D# Locrian".)
Jammer doesn't care about scales or harmony at all, the pitch filter is simply that, a filter to include or exclude pitches from Jammer's output. Harmoniser must think in terms of an actual scale and harmony, therefore has a scale root pitch and scale type.
Hope this helps clear things up!
cheers

Thanks, I do realise that and was expecting more of an fx sound but I suppose I would like some more extended notes too, at least to use as drones, most of the playing is very short or even pizzicato.soniccouture wrote:aMUSEd wrote:Some beautiful instruments (almost worth it just for the sublime Vocal pad) but a couple of niggles

The bowed + slide articulations are both looped, so that's pretty extended - i'm not sure what you have in mind.

OK I probably need to play with it some more, anyway overall this is a great library.soniccouture wrote:The bowed + slide articulations are both looped, so that's pretty extended - i'm not sure what you have in mind.
