Ugh. I was so stoked to check out this library...great workflow, with a nice clean GUI. But the included samples sound like they're from 1993 (yep, I watched the Preset Video too)! I know you can drag-and-drop your own samples, but the built-in sounds feel like an afterthought. So bummed!

Excellent GUI and design. Can Presets (that we adjust or by adding our own Wavs) be Saved with Kontakt 6 Player ? or we'll need the the Full Kontakt 6 (to save our own presets) ?

Looks really good. Is the $50 off sale good to the end of this month?

1. It is not possible to midi record when you are using the XY rotator (the movements), it will only activate in mixdown exporting. 2. It is not possible to sync the library to the host (daw) while playing or recording as far I can see which is very sad especially when comes to the rythmical patches. Also the sustain pedal is not working. In other hand it is awesome and samples sound good.

Neat tool, though I think the price is a bit overboard.

[mikelarson]

After you've added user samples, how do you save the preset \ instrument?

[reinoldg]

Looks great but $200 is a lot of money for a granular looper. Think about that
