Not really, no. I think they put in more velocity layers and round robins on pretty much everything. It's closer in size to a full orchestral library.Is the current Albion 1 as light as the original one?

Inspire and Symphobia will run on a 16 GB just fine... They also happen to sound pretty flipping excellent for being so efficient... Albion One's never given me issues despite the previous post. I've run all of them on 2011 and 2012 MacBook Pros, no issues at all.
What are WIPS? All the acronyms I know that match to that have nothing to do with sound.The orchestral stuff in the Kontakt Factory Library is by far the most RAM efficient I have found. Lots of content and decent sound. Slap some WIPS on the woodwinds and even the brass and strings and you can get a lot out of it.
It's a Kontakt script for simulated legato. I think it's floating around here somewhere or on the internet if you want to download it. The older version is called SIPS.What are WIPS? All the acronyms I know that match to that have nothing to do with sound.
Thanks. I will look for it.It's a Kontakt script for simulated legato. I think it's floating around here somewhere or on the internet if you want to download it. The older version is called SIPS.
The ones right up front can sound synthy. But if you dig into the menu and go to the Legacy orchestral instruments, you'll find some very solid instruments, including longs with modwheel dynamics. Here's a quick tutorial I did showing how to spruce up the instruments with legato, etc., using the SIPS scripts.Do the samples in the Kontakt Factory Library sound good? I heard some do but also heard some sound like synthy.

When searching for something like this, give it a little more context. For instance, instead of just "WIPS" search "WIPS VST" Then see what the search engine does for you.What are WIPS? All the acronyms I know that match to that have nothing to do with sound.

While Kontakt will allow you to load up many more instruments by switching to another port, most DAWS I've used limit your access to 16. Someone who knows more about Kontakt routing might know a way around this. So, yes, sixteen channels, sixteen key switches. You might also look into @tack's Flex Router for Kontakt to open up more possibilities in creating key switches.Wow, holy shit! Thanks! Where did you learn all this stuff?! I never bothered digging up Kontakt script under the hood but now I should! Question: you created key switches. Is it limited to up to 16 switches because there are only 16 channels?
Indeed, FlexRouter would let you address all ports within Kontakt, allowing a multi of 64 patches on their own separate channels (A1-16 through D1-16), with custom keyswitches to activate them.You might also look into @tack's Flex Router for Kontakt to open up more possibilities in creating key switches.
The demos sound pretty nice. I'm a strong believer in the idea that the library is far less important than the user, and that in the right hands even the so-called "lesser" libraries can sound terrific.What about this: https://www.steinberg.net/de/products/vst/halion_symphonic_orchestra/details.html
There is a trial version...
Even if it is maybe not the top of all products - you will have a symphonic orchestra with you... LapTop friendly

It is the same dongle as VSL uses.Is it true that still all Steinberg products require a USB dongle? That's a deal breaker for me.
