Just got this and thanks for the in depth walkthrough and contextual work.
FYI, the menu sounds all have the ability to be extended across the keyboard (instead of using key switches to change pitch - the little keyboard icon near the bottom of the page). It’s an awesome feature to improve playability, lengthen the range, use chords etc. I could be wrong, but I think this is something new for a Heavyocity instrument. Very handy :)
Cheers.

Hey Pete,

good evening from Berlin! :D

Great review as usal and unfortunately that made me recently buying Gravity 2...haha! xD
There is currently a nice Heavyocity sale over at Native, so I got it for 299 €! :D <3

I like the convenient way you've set up Kontakt within Komplete Kontrol! Can you tell me the steps how to do that? I'm using the latest versions of Kontakt and KK and tried but didn't get it right!^^

Looking forward for your next reviews and appreciate your reply! :D

Thx and many greetings,
Benny

UPDATE: Found it out by myself....Just downgraded Komplete Kontrol and there it was working! :D

Happy Sunday

Does Gravity 2 include the content of Gravity (1) as such?
