BFD3 Library for Kontakt Kits 4, 6 & 7
Kit 1 + Kit 5
As a follow up to my previous posts, the latest being BFD3 Library for Kontakt: Kit 5, here are 3 new kits from the BFD3 Factory Library.
I think it is better to start posting more than 1 kit per week or else it will drag for 7 weeks. I am sure by then, most of you would be tired of these kits.
Kits 6 & 7 compliment Kit 5. The same instruments used in Kit 5 are used in these 2 kits but with different beaters. Whereas Kit 5's beater was a stick, Kit 6 uses a brush as a beater and Kit 7 uses a mallet. The same internal channel structure as Kit 5 is used for Kits 6 & 7 (i.e Room Far mic is stereo)
As for Kit 4, the internal channel structure follows Kit 1 (i.e Room Far mic is mono).
I have also added 2 new small features:
As per the screenshot above, for each articulation you can now adjust 2 things: The volume and the velocity sensitivity. The volume is self explanatory. The velocity sensitivity is Kontakt's internal modulation intensity of the velocity. So, set at 100%, it will behave exactly like the previous 2 kits: Kontakt will decrease the volume of the samples for low velocities. Set at 0%, the volume will rely completely on the volume of the sample as recorded in the BFD3 Factory Content. I think by introducing this, it will give you more control of the articulations.
I just want to share few things as I have been asked about them:
1) The kits are independent. You can download individual kits or all Kits. It is up to you.
2) You do NOT need to have BFD3 or its factory content installed. All you need is Kontakt 5.3.0 (not Kontakt Player).
3) To copy these kits, follow the same instructions in my previous post (Kit 5)
4) If you do not want to download these kits, but you want to get the 2 extra features I added, just download the nkr file (I have also provided it separately in its own link).
5) If you already downloaded one or both of the previous kits and you're happy with them and you don't want these extra features, you don't need to do anything.
Finally, one important thing. With the addition of these 2 extra features and also more changes (invisible for now) to support Kit 2 (which will be posted next week), I didn't have enough time to test completely the script. So if you have any issues with the script let me know and I will fix as soon as I have a free time. I will explain the changes made for Kit 2 next week.
As always, I hope you enjoy these kits.
