New string library - Intimate Strings - lite version free

Just wanted to give a heads up:
Embertone - Intimate Strings lite

Sound of a string quartet playing in unison

Custom Kontakt scripting

3 NKI files

718 wave files

422 MB installed, 270 MB .rar download

Download from our web-server, nothing fancy (we're broke too, man!)

Sample resolution: 44.1Khz / 24-bit stereo

Very nice.  Thanks Gustabo, ol pal!

Bought their "Chapman Trumpet" and it sounds frigging awesome. Also the Jubal flute plays really nice. Can't wait to use them on tracks.

^^^Those pesky video crapware hawkers are getting crafty.

Hey guys, I'm the co-founder of Embertone, and a proud Sonar user! (although I work in Cubase these days as well)... If you have any questions or comments about our stuff, let me know! I'll probably make an official "Embertone" account, but it's all the same :)

Sounds very nice. Both the song and the trumpet.

They do sound good... gonna pick those two up for sure...

Any thoughts about different formats such as Mach Five / Uvi ? 

Basically, we can't afford it right now, but eventually we want to!

Please, don't. There are a great many of us who prefer and seek out non-licensed libraries because we've already paid NI once (3 or 4 times in many cases) and don't want to give them any more money. 


I have a question for you, Alex. NI is very secretive about their licensing terms, and I'm assuming licensees are forced to sign an NDA because nobody ever talks about them publicly. My question is this: does NI forbid selling two versions, one licensed, one not? Nobody does this, and the only reason I can think of for not doing so is that NI doesn't allow it.

@Bajan - We're curious about Machfive... The engine looks so interesting, and it seems like there's a lot going for it. However, to recreate our legato scripts would probably be quite time consuming. It's something we're looking into though!
@ProjectM - Thanks for the compliment! Please share with us when you use Embertone stuff. We love to hear our instruments in action.
@bitflipper - Check for a PM in a few minutes. I don't think there are any restrictions about having Kontakt Player (restricted) and Kontakt FULL (unrestricted) libraries available at the same time... Though this is only an educated guess. I'm thinking about Tonehammer's "Emotional Piano", which is now owned by Sound Iron. The Emotional Piano used to be a restricted, Kontakt Player instrument, but is now unrestricted, Kontakt FULL only... Did the same thing happen with their Requiem choral library?
@carl - Outer Space was just a teaser/silly joke... We have a strange sense of humor - BUT - there was some truth to it. We are in production right now for a french horn library, and will be offering a free/teaser version of it just to pique everyone's interest... Thanks for the interest and have a great weekend peeps! -Alex

Thanks again for the info, Alex. If NI does indeed allow both licensed and non-licensed versions then that would seem to be the best of both worlds, why does (almost) nobody do it?

Oh, and please try to maintain K4 compatibility (which you'll lose if you license with NI) for those of us who are trying to get off the NI merry-go-round of annually repurchasing the same sampler over and over again.

Thanks for the feedback guys... Yes, for now we develop in Kontakt 4 to make sure all of our stuff is compatible. We made the mistake of making our first 5 instruments in Kontakt 5, thinking that it would be possible to revert back to K4... What a mistake that was!! Had to recreate those instruments in Kontakt 4 from scratch, erg... -Alex
