CinePerc

CinePerc is Cinesamples' largest download to date as it is a collection of 4 libraries in 1. The disk footprint is 100GB in total.  To speed things up, we split up the library into a popular archive format known as 'RAR'. The included installer will expand them automatically once the download is complete. Please be prepared to allow time for the packaged samples to download. 

The Cinesamples Downloader application (sent in an email after purchase is approved) will download and install CinePerc onto the drive that you choose.  If you wish to install CinePerc on an external drive, set that location before beginning the download.  After downloading is complete, the installation will automatically begin.  Installation will create an additional 100GB of data on top of the downloaded 100GB of .rar files, which can be deleted after installation.  Make sure you have at least 200GB of free space available during the installation process.  

MERGING PRIOR LIBRARIES

CinePerc as a whole is now represented by one library, rather than four (Core, Pro, Aux, Epic).  All instruments are clearly organized into a new folder structure which helps the user instantly identify which type of sound they are looking for (for instance Metals, Melodic, Ethnic, etc.).  The original instruments have also been preserved in their own folder labeled '08 LEGACY'.

KONTAKT PLAYER COMPATIBLE

CinePerc does not require you to purchase any additional sample playback software, and is licensed to work with Native Instrument’s free Kontakt Player.  Explore the latest version of Kontakt here.  Now all you need is a sequencer like Logic, Cubase, Digital Performer, LIVE, or Pro Tools, and you’ll be up and running.

ORCHESTRAL ENSEMBLE PATCH

The brand new "CinePerc Orchestral Percussion Ensemble" patch is comprised largely of instruments from the '01 ORCHESTRAL' folder, giving the user a complete orchestral percussion pallet underneath their fingers. Intuitively mapped, this patch makes creating orchestral percussion mockups quick and easy. Detailed mapping info can be found in the User Manual (downloadable below).

RE-MAPPING

The entire line of CinePerc instruments have been remapped in order to create a consistent and intuitive layout for the user. Non-chromatic instruments have now been centered around middle C on the keyboard, so the user knows instantly where to begin upon loading a new instrument and playing. Other small tweaks have also been added for ease of use, such as several instruments being split out to their own patch for clarity sake (for instance different mallet types, different snare drums, etc., now each have their own patch).

CinePerc v1.3 is scripted for Native Instruments' Native Kontrol Standard (NKS) format.  You can learn more about NKS here.   Explore the latest version of Kontakt here.
