![]() ![]() Pretty sloppy and/or lazy - unless the link did work for a while recently and Karanyi noticed and decided they didn't want to serve the files any longer.įor what it's worth, it seems the SYNTH-1 material was a precursor/inspiration for Karanyi's Synths DX product. It's possible that the direct mega.nz link was active when that original post was written, but went stale in the interim and the (same) guy who went back and copied his old text for a new blog item didn't bother to check it. The SYNTH-1 item in the NI "Best of 2023" post cribs the description verbatim from an earlier NI blog post " 5 free 80s-inspired synth libraries for KONTAKT", from May of last year. At that time, Karanyi Sounds was Karanyi Music, with a different domain name to match, which is now defunct and not so obviously Wayback-able, so the links from contemporary posts are fubar'ed. Yeah, that one oddly seems lost to time, at least officially.įrom what I gather (from, e.g., BPB), it was a set of 7 Kontakt 5 presets and associated samples originally released in early 2018. SYNTH-1 Mini Collection seems to have a broken link. So far as I know, Karanyi, Rhythmic Robot, Pianobook, Pettinhouse, Samplephonics and the others on the list all support direct downloads - though for most, they'll ask for an email address and/or an account setup. When I grabbed it a while back, XPERIMENTA Preparato Piano was a simple download, but they've moved to Pulse for their newer Minima 2 freebie, so there's a possibility that's been Pulse'd as well. It's a lot easier to grab a few and configure them assembly-line style, rather than all at once, if you're interested in more than one.) (Not for nothing, but if you're already knee-deep in Native Access fiddling, both Strezov and Heavyocity have other very nice if sometimes niche freebies available. Ditto for the Heavyocity Foundations Piano, so that's a double-dip of extra finagling (though lovely once set up, by most accounts). The Strezov freebies are/were directly downloadable, but you do have to register those in Native Access, so it's an extra step. Impact Soundworks uses Pulse downloader, so that's more or less of an issue, depending on whether you have it installed for other purposes. ![]() Heavyocity definitely uses its own installer/portal, as does 8Dio. Having dabbled with nearly all of these at some point, it's not terribly many, depending on how you count. ![]() Native Instruments are also running a competition and will be giving away tonnes of prizes including limited edition 25 th anniversary hardware and copies of Komplete 13.I wonder how many of these require proprietary installers. There’s also a complex sound editor and step sequencer to further customize sounds to your heart’s content! You can blend 2 sound sources together and sculpt them into something new using the powerful macro mapping and effect sections. Twenty-Five lets you shape sounds into something uniquely yours by using the Play Series instruments interface, it’s certainly not some old presets repackaged into a new plug-in package. There’s 150 presets in total ranging from legacy instruments like FM8, Akkord and Abs ynth including patches inspired by new NI instruments like M assive X, Super 8 and Pharlight. Native I n s truments ’ first-ever virtual synthesizer was called Generator, which was the precursor to what we know as Reaktor today. ![]() The instrument takes form as part of the Play Series collection and features 150 presets that are derived from some of their most notable software instruments over the past 25 years. Native Instruments have today released a free KONTAKT instrument appropriately named Twenty-Five, in celebration of NI’s 25th anniversary. I don’t know anyone who gives away presents on their own birthday but hey, I’ll take it. ![]()
