The velocity mapping by key gives an excellent idea for other sample instrument creators as well. For people with slightly different keyboards that have problems with velocity in their keys, this'll be so much helpful to them.

[@snarf1504]

LA Modern Percussion has it too, except they provide a 'normal' mapping as well. I think OT should provide both options as well - let the user decide their preferred workflow.

[@wolfie8748]

So is this like every other nite has different velocity?
I didt like it that way is there a way to do it only in one key and I decide how strong I hit.

[@snarf1504]

@@wolfie8748 every note has a different dynamic layer. There are up to 100 dynamic layers, but no round robins (different versions of the same note/dynamic).

@@snarf1504 ohh , I like round robins so this is kinda sad for me. But thanks

[@snarf1504]

@@wolfie8748 well, the idea is that you don't need RR since you have so many velocity layers, which can function in a similar way. Just move the note up or down a few pitches to get a similar dynamic. I'm not saying it's a good or bad approach, but lack or RR isn't such a big deal if you use the library right.

I am reviewing it for PPV-Medien (german publisher) and I am super stoked about this library! It is awesome! Velocity mapping by key is absolutely great for detailed patterns on each instruments. Congrats to the overwhelming sound quality of the samples! Cheers from germany!

Awesome Library!

[@consonaadversapars]

You should have released it as a Kontakt library it originally was. Sine is, to this day, crashing or not working at all for me. :/
