Play Chris Squire Yes preset and you are sold

But does it have a Lemmy preset?

Yup, it actually does--check out the "Lemming" preset.
 
Sounds like I need to make a picked version of the library, too... :)

Stahp. Please.
 
I checked out some of your other libraries and, boy, I'm in trouble...
 
Regards,

One of the common requests I got while developing Evolution Electric Bass Rick was to include presets that instantly give you the bass tones of iconic bassists.

Here's a list of the artist presets included with Evolution Electric Bass - Rick. Can you guess which artists these refer to?

Chris Says Yes
Rush Order
Who's On Bass
Macca
Snow Petroleum
Purple Rainbows
This One's Pink
In The Beginning
Coldfish
Lemming
Thin Lizard
Vampire We Can
Pilgrim

Of course, we also have a bunch of other tone presets included, too. We made it easy to scroll through these presets within Evolution Electric Bass Rick's own interface--that way you can easily audition the presets without having to close and reload entire Kontakt patches.

We also have an external preset system, so you can save your own tone presets as NKA files that can be shared between projects or other users.

Had a look at the manual: couldn't find a list of all articulations/possible keyswitches. Is there a list somewhere? I am very interested in this one. Up to now my main bass is NI's (Scarbee's) Pre-Bass but this one seems to have a LOT more going on when it comes to release/attack/transition sounds and round-robins, which obviously enhances the realism a lot, specially when you sometimes use the bass solo or when the arrangement is simple/acoustic/basic and the bass can be actually heard in a song.
 
About this one complementing the new NI one: if I can only get one, which should I get? (Maybe an odd question in a topic created by the creator of one of the plugins, but well...). Does one have (a lot) more articulations etc. than the other or not? 

Here are all the articulations available on the mapping page (where you can map each to keyswitches, velocity ranges, controller ranges, etc.):
 
Sustain
Mutes
Grace Note Up
Grace Note Down
Buzz Trill
Whole-Step Slide In
Whole-Step Hammer In
Slide From Last Note (uses velocity to determine the slide speed)
1/4th Slide (tempo-synced so that it reaches the destination note perfectly at the next quarter note)
1/8th Slide
Repeat on Release
Repeating 1/4ths
Repeating 1/8ths
Repeating 1/16ths
Unison Fifths
Unison Octaves
 
The sustains have 32x round-robin and 3 morphing dynamic layers. The release samples are duration-dependent, being sampled at 15 different release times. The legato samples include hammer-ons and pull-offs sampled chromatically up to a minor 3rd interval, and there are chromatically sampled half-note slides. Like the release samples, the legato samples are time-dependent. We sampled them at up to 8 different transition times. There are also pre-roll samples, muted notes (8x RR, 3x velocities), muted slapped strings (8x RR, 8x velocities), and slap release transitions (4x RR, sampled for each note).

Aw, yer killin' me, Greg. I can't afford this for another month or two, even though it's been on my wishlist from the day you first mentioned you were starting to work on a Rickenbacker library. Maybe you could just sell me a few notes for, say, 10 bucks? All I really need is E and A to get started.

Come on Bit, they have a Lemmie preset, how can you say no?

Downloading now. I am a complete tower of Jello. I blame it all on the Cakewalk vacuum.
 

Bummer. Got all the files, but the install is a bit convoluted to me. I also just updated kontakt to 5.2
 
K5 isn't seeing the library. At last, a problem to solve.

As this is an "open" library where the developer has not paid a fee to NI you will not see it in the libraries tab in Kontakt. You have to use the file browser and navigate to the folder where you placed the NKI file and open it.
 

Yeah--unfortunately, as of now only Kontakt Player instruments can be loaded using the "Add Library" option in the library tab. So right now you have to manually load the patches, by clicking on the "Files" button, then "Load...", or using Kontakt's browser tab.

If it's of any help, Kontakt also has a quickload feature, which allows you to drag your favorite libraries into a list (which can be organized into folders). That's what I use, even with Kontakt Player libraries, because of the organizational capabilities. Of course, you don't get the pretty library tab art... ;)
 
In terms of installation, I kept the engine RAR and the samples RAR files separate, so that if there are updates in the future you don't have to redownload the whole thing. As long as you have all the RAR files in the same place, and then extract the "EEB-Engine.rar" file and the "EEB-Samples.part1.rar" using the "extract here" option, everything should install properly.
 
The reason you only need to extract the part1.rar of the samples is because it's a multi-part RAR file--when extracting the first part, it automatically extracts the rest of the parts, too.
 
Let me know if you're able to get it working, or if you need more detailed installation instructions. The user's guide PDF (click here to download) has a section with installation instructions, too.
