@@IngoGarza When I made this review I had no issue with the software, and I mention the real business model in the video. I'm now aware of the reception and issues this plugin has, but I don't know if I should make a video about that, as I'm working on other projects atm
@@AlexReidStudios Fair enough. You don't have any obligation to make a follow up video. I'm just annoyed at the way this release was handled honestly, nothing against you. Have a good evening!
That's a very tall order to fill. You're gonna have to bring Heavyocity, Sonuscore, type players to it to even mention possibly replacing Kontakt. Kontakt is literally THE tool for the best sounds out there. I am very interested in this though i have Playbeat, and my favorite is LoopMix, so I believe in AudioModern, and I fully support them. The sounds you demoed are quite nice.
I'd say the two serious contenders for Kontakt are Hallion 7 and UVI falcon. I haven't touched Kontakt ever since I got those two..but this seems like it could easily replace a ton of Kontakt libraries easily because of the MPE support alone
As I understand: kontakt; you can share your libraries but it can only be used if your users have the full version of kontakt, or you will need to license your library to be used with the free version. Uvi falcon: you can't sell your libraries (as I understand). Soundpaint: not sure yet, have asked the question but not gotten a response. Soundbox: just asked and they say we are allowed to create/sell however we want, that alone opens it up to veery many people who are not into kontakt..(no idea about halion, maybe someone else knows).
Hey Jason, we’re using the Zynaptiq algorithm for our Loopmix plugin. For these specific Soundbox Instruments it was not needed and as a result this didn’t make it to version 1.0. However, we’re working on a few loop libraries coming up next and we’ll bring this along, probably with our 1.1 update. Stay tuned ✌️
I get a rather entertaining sequence of thoughts when I see a review of a sampler. 1) Oh cool, a sampler! I could use one of those. 2) Wait - I think I have about 5 samplers already. How does this compare feature-wise? 3) And I have Phase Plant, with which I really could build just about any kind of sampler and add lots of crazy features, so who cares about new features? 4) Oh, but this has interesting forms of randomization, and they're easy to access. Also, you make it look easy to bounce tracks to audio and then re-import. 6) Looks like I will soon have about 6 samplers.
While this does seem like a great player/plugin, how is it compared to soundpaint (which is free) and falcon? Also, do you know if they have future plans of implementing stuff in it, something like the morph capability of tomafon or similar? Just trying to understand the options 😅👍 Thanks for showing off all the features.
@@mattiasboden2329 For now I only know about the features listed on the video. I still have to try soundpaint. About Falcon, here the workflow is a breeze, but Falcon also has synth engines so it's different
This might sound odd or impractical, but can you access .wav files of the library in a folder or are you limited to using the plugin's engine to access the .wav files in a proprietary filetype? The purpose would be if you wanted to use the library's multisamples in, say, Bitwig's Sampler. Too tedious? Maybe...
I got this and not happy with it, crashes a lot , MPE is not really MPE try it with chords and you will hear what i mean, this is Very minimal and needs an update very urgently
@@AlexReidStudios for me it was just to have a tool less cpu intensive for sound packs etc but i have to wait a little , sure it will come okay in the near future
Troels who is in charge of Soundpaint has been accused by many sound design professionals for threats and other shady stuff. Take a look at the VI forum and see for yourself.
Alex, I've seen a lot of controversy about this plugin, yet you clearly mentioning that it is not free, days before Dash's videos where he tells that it is free, how you knew it won't be free as is in reality? Other creators are claiming the same as you. So, what's the fuss?
Hope the talk in Discord was enough, it's a confusing situation as many creators also claimed it was going to be free. Surely an issue with how Audiomodern delivered the message
That's because Dash is probably lying. I don't believe it's intentional though but he doesn't have anything to support his claims. I smell an apology coming. Alex, your video is the best Soundbox review on TH-cam right now. You earned a new subscriber.
i really like you channel but why you dont put your face to the corner of the video. This type of cut to mask face cut to software is a focus killer. Keep up what you are doing with a bit less edits.. great software..
Hey thank you! Honestly it's about the style I've chosen. As it's not 100% real time sometimes is weird to have my face in a corner. But I try to implement it some times
@@rmolag I'm aware, just that I want to know people's opinion. This video had an initial good reception, and I had no issues with the software, and I knew it wasn't a free plugin (mentioned in the video). But I know my case is different from other youtubers and customers. Dunno if I'll make a commentary video on the topic tho
This plug in is a scam, it is not free and the sound presets are mediocre, In it's current state there's no round robin, no release triggers, no x fading between dynamics, no proper filter modulation . doesn't support Time Stretch, etc, and the MPE doesn't work properly is not a true MPE, This is very, very far from Kontakt, is a scam a mediocre plugin.
I take it this is a sponsored or paid video because this plugin has so many problems and even the paid sound packs only have a handful of preset samples in them no genuine channel would promote such tripe ;)
I didn't had any issue and I liked the samples. But this video was release day, so I was not aware of the issues other users had, I didn't even know some youtubers thought it was going to be free. I don't think I have to make a followup video, but this video was based on my own experience with the plugin.
Yeah this was a general review, if my viewers are interested I could do a deeper dive
If your just gonna shill and not address the issues I'm not interested in a "deep dive".

@@IngoGarza all good :) Thanks for understanding
You had me at Audiomodern
@@buckycore They make great stufd
@@buckycore definitely one of the best plug-in companies. Simple strait forward tools. Own all the plug-ins now going for this.
Wow, saw on their website that a IPadOS version is coming soon! Exciting!
I have an older computer is it labor intensive on the cpu? Are the sounds in the cloud or do you have to download them to the computer? Thanks
@@solegremusic812 I had no issues, but about the sounds they are specific for the instrument
@@AlexReidStudios ok thanks
@@solegremusic812they do support putting the sound packs on external hard drive if needed
Yay, could it be a serious enough contender to start undermining the empire of Kontakt? My heart fills with joy at the thought :-)
Yeah, that'd be nice! This one is easy to use too

I thought that, 'Kontakt but easier with a cleaner UI'
As I understand: kontakt; you can share your libraries but it can only be used if your users have the full version of kontakt, or you will need to license your library to be used with the free version. Uvi falcon: you can't sell your libraries (as I understand). Soundpaint: not sure yet, have asked the question but not gotten a response.

This will work perfectly with a pen tablet! 😋😁
Can you re-export the samples with pitch labled in wav format?
I think there's no dorect way to do that
Does it have a time-stretch algorithm to make each note have the same timing, so one play oneshots as instruments? Cannot find any info on this.
@@jasonbotha4139 Gonna double check and I'll come back to this
Thanks @@AlexReidStudios . Zynaptiq are masters at time-stretching, so am hoping so before making the leap.

Thanks for the feedback@@audiomodern. The interface of Soundbox looks very intuitive, as with all your plugins, so eagerly await this update.
арп доступен для всех слоев
yes
I like audiomodern stuff, even tho some do not work as intended in reaper. So well I might grab em some day. Has a bit a soundpaint feel to it
@@daviHuggMonster They have great stuff, I like loopmix a lot
@@AlexReidStudios I do own the complete range...and probably get the new one too^^
Nice
I get a rather entertaining sequence of thoughts when I see a review of a sampler.
1) Oh cool, a sampler! I could use one of those.
2) Wait - I think I have about 5 samplers already. How does this compare feature-wise?
3) And I have Phase Plant, with which I really could build just about any kind of sampler and add lots of crazy features, so who cares about new features?
4) Oh, but this has interesting forms of randomization, and they're easy to access. Also, you make it look easy to bounce tracks to audio and then re-import.
6) Looks like I will soon have about 6 samplers.
Lol yeah, pretty much it. For me is all about workflow. I rarely use samples on Phase Plant, and when I do is for crazy synth manipulation.
While this does seem like a great player/plugin, how is it compared to soundpaint (which is free) and falcon? Also, do you know if they have future plans of implementing stuff in it, something like the morph capability of tomafon or similar? Just trying to understand the options 😅👍

@@AlexReidStudios Thanks :)
Does it load and save sample maps in any of the common formats?
@@markwingfield9423 Not sure what you meant
@@AlexReidStudios For example .nki or .esx etc... so that it can import and export sampler instruments from other samplers.
@@markwingfield9423 Ooh I got you, I believe it doesn't
@@AlexReidStudios Thanks!
This might sound odd or impractical, but can you access .wav files of the library in a folder or are you limited to using the plugin's engine to access the .wav files in a proprietary filetype? The purpose would be if you wanted to use the library's multisamples in, say, Bitwig's Sampler. Too tedious? Maybe...
I need to check to confirm
This is nice. But doesnt Pigment already do this?
@@LinxoZulu Now that you mention it, kinda yeah. Except the arp per voice, the vector and the original samples. But yeah
I feel like Omnisphere can do all of this. So not sure why its the best. Is it because it's cheap?
It's cheap and it has many great features, and it's easy to use
I got this and not happy with it, crashes a lot , MPE is not really MPE try it with chords and you will hear what i mean, this is Very minimal and needs an update very urgently
@@Italliving The mpe is a shame really. Everything else is working fine for me, but I know there are plenty of users reporting bugs
@@AlexReidStudios for me it was just to have a tool less cpu intensive for sound packs etc but i have to wait a little , sure it will come okay in the near future
can you build your own libraries or use your own sounds in it? ope you explained that at the end haha
@@GillamtheGreatest You can, you can open the settings of a layer to see the actual sample player, and there you can drag and drop your own
this feels a lot like SoundPaint
Gotta check it out

@@ericspencer3058not really a great review. MPE was completely broken on launch and he touts it as the next best thing.
