Hello brave Kontakt 3.5 Beta users! We are currently working on a patch update for Drums of War to work with the Beta version of Kontakt. The issue is that some types of scripting in a patch will cause Kontakt 3.5 Beta to crash. In the mean time please revert to a previous version of Kontakt or use the EXS24 patches until the issue is resolved.
*UPDATE: This is no longer an issue with the latest Kontakt 3.5 update! Phew!
This very detailed tutorial shows Mike Barry making the dreaded Multi-Timbral Instance in Kontakt 3 featuring “Drums of War”. Starting from an empty logic file to a finished product.
To access this tutorial go to the video section of Cinesamples

Free samples!
• Cinesamples Triangles: Programmed with some really clever Kontakt scripting
• Cinesamples Jam Buckets: You know, those big plastic buckets they play in the street.
• Cinesamples Snaps & Claps: Just like the name says.
All come in Kontakt 2/3 and EXS24 formats. But only the Kontakt format has the nifty scripting.

Our Percussion Bundle is reviewed over at www.music4games.net

Excerpt:
“Big spacious drums and percussion that gives you an unusual amount of control over the sound. The lower end drums are especially dramatic and useful and the toms complement DOW very well.”

We listened to customer feedback and now have CineHarp Pluck available to you for only $29.
CineHarp Pluck is the instrumental companion to CineHarp Glissandi, recorded in the same studio with the same harpist. It is a three layer, full ranged patch available for Kontakt 2.2+ and EXS24. It has a very warm and courtly tone, and like CineHarp Glissandi it is recorded mostly dry with a touch of hall mics. This mix allows for integration with templates of all sorts.
