Audio Ollie TASTE - New Multi Pack Has Landed!

Just purchased the multipack. Looking forward to trying it out. From the walkthrough, I see many of these patches as a solid foundation for a whole track.

The "Taste" has also introduced me to the wonderfully-sounding "Postcard Piano". I have to say that it's been quite a while since I was so intrigued by a certain piano library (I have a solid collection of virtual pianos, piano being my primary instrument). BTW, does anyone recall seeing "Postcard Piano" on a sale? P.S. I apologize for the slight OT.

Hi @TomislavEP - we currently have no plans for a sale any time soon BUT... you can get 10% off Postcard Piano if you sign-up for our mailing list at the bottom of our site OR you could also get 15% off if you bundle Postcard Piano with our newly released synth SCARBO. FYI! Hope that helps.
 
Great deal for sure but feels a little bit rushed to me in some cases.

There are Multis like "Phillips Guitars" with six loaded Instruments using about 1GB of Ram. Three instruments are muted and two barely audible. The last instrument is the main instrument. They could have used some mod- and delay-effects from kontakt to get mostly the same result and save 800MB of Ram. Not important for me personally but maybe for some laptop-owners or to get a clearer look.

Its gripe on a very high level - I know ;)
Same issue in LAMP. All kinds of great multis but on many there are many Kontakt instances that are either muted or so low they contribute nothing to the sound.

I even found one that only had a low boom at 20 Hz and below that went on for 20 sec after I lifted the key. 20 sec of blasting 20hz. I thought my EQ display was in error until I went through the multi and found the offending nki. Nothing else on it. Crazy. In my book that's a waist of ram and audio headroom since it's inaudible yet takes up headroom space.

I cleaned these things up and removed them, but seriously Ollie, this is the first time I've ever had to clean up a factory multi. It's like you brought multi's in from designers and included them without even checking to see if everything is used, or could be trimmed down. This should be done before the multis are released.
 
Thanks. Yeah, just dumping the new multi's into the original Taste muti folder works. I should tried that to start with. :grin:
So it's just new multis with no new samples? Seems like the expansion has sounds I haven't heard in the original taste pack, but maybe I'm wrong.

There were instructions that you need to do batch re-save in kontakt. I did it. Took a lot of time but after everything is working.
 
In "pad and Textures" there's this beautiful Angel Pad multi that is cranking up the CPU so fast up to 100% with current voices figure in the 800s after just playing a few chord.
it is making it impossible to use polyphonically on my laptop (which in return sounds like a jet liner with max fan use).
Are you experiencing the same?

Yep, confirmed. If you're playing chords, kiss your CPU goodbye :roflmao:

The strings seem to have a huge release time, even long after there's no audible output.
 
DAMNIT.

I saw TASTE back whenever that was released, listened to the demos, went 'meh'....but ended up buying anyways, trying it and I'll be damned if it didn't inspire some new music. Go figure.

Fast forward to now, I see this new multi pack, went 'meh, what the heck do I need that for?'; BOUGHT it anyways and AGAIN, IMMEDIATELY inspired.

HA.

Nice job Oliver, and THANK YOU.

Seriously? You didn’t like it?

I would have paid even more for it I love it.
