Glyn BarnesI don't know if anyone else is seeing this but there is one minor issue with some presets in the Komplete Kontrol preset menu that do not appear in the snapshot menu. These have "missing" samples. They are not missing as such because they are found when Kontakt is pointed at the Stratosphere folders. I have created a support ticket.
I've already followed up with Glyn via email, but in case anybody else is wondering, this issue with the snapshot presets has been fixed. This only applied to the included demo song snapshots (in the "Demo Songs" folder), and not the main factory snapshot presets.
If you already have the full version of Kontakt and having it included in the libraries tab isn't a big deal to you, there's still value in downloading the update:
- Kontakt 5's new snapshot preset management is much more powerful than the built-in presets Evolution Stratosphere had before. When you save a user preset now, it will show up on the snapshot menu, displaying the name of the preset and everything, which was a deficiency with the built-in system. We also made a bunch more factory presets.
- You not only get the latest version of the Evolution guitar engine (small bux fixes, more reverb pedals, new "random" articulation condition, ability to remap the manual string selection keys, improved round-robin cycling), but the library can now keep up to date with new versions of the Evolution engine that are released for the rest of the Evolution guitar libraries. We have a long list of improvements to implement. :)
