Four decades of electronic instruments
PLEASE NOTE: The Kontakt files within this multi format sample library requires the full version of Native Instruments Kontakt. This library will only work in Demo mode in the Kontakt Free Player.
Now available for the first time outside of a ROMpler, the acclaimed NOSTALGIA sample library is now ready to load into your copy of Native Instruments KONTAKT, and features around 1.3 gigabytes of WAV sounds (over 4500 samples) from four decades of electronic instruments, and more than 1,100 accompanying KONTAKT (.nki) patches.
The library is divided into three parts, as follows:
Pack 1: US Classics, Euro Classics, and Japanese Classics.
Pack 2: Playback Keyboards, Organs, Electro-Mechanicals, Digital ROMpler Synths, and Vintage Samplers.
Pack 3: Cheap n Cheezy, Obscure Synths, Drum Synths, Classic Beatboxes, Obscure Beatboxes, Sci-Fi, Atmosferics, String Synths, and Basses.
Programming wizard and all-round synth enthusiast STEVE HOWELL has used his 30+ years of experience and knowledge of these various instruments to create arguably the best and most accurate representations of some of the world’s greatest synths, keyboards and beat boxes that he has either owned or used in a professional capacity as either a sound designer, sound engineer, player or composer. Steve has also used his 16+ years of developing professional sample sound libraries to provide highly optimised and memory-efficient, seamlessly looped samples of a heritage of instruments that have paved the way for where we are today - over 40 years of innovation and (often naive) pioneering spirit encapsulated in one definitive collection of abject ‘NOSTALGIA’!
Whatever your chosen musical genre there’s a place for any of these sounds in your music. Whether it’s old-skool lo-fi beatboxes, huge Gothic Tron sounds, smooth Prophet pads and strings, beefy Moog basses or leads, classic electric pianos, swirly string synths, cheezy toys, classic samplers, brittle digital synths, evolving S+S textures ... you name it - with over 4,500 samples and more than 1,100 patches, it’s probably there in this huge Kontakt collection that has effectively been 40 years in the making.
The library is presented in NI´s KONTAKT format (NOTE THIS IS NOT A ROMPLER or PLUGIN - with this version you will simply be downloading the Nostalgia SAMPLE LIBRARY in WAV format which you can use with any music software, but everything has been set up in KONTAKT patches which you also get, so if you have NI KONTAKT then all the instruments are already programmed, mapped out and playable). Kontakt makes no compromises in the playing and performing of sample-based instruments. Its powerful multi-mode filters, envelopes, LFOs and FX will give this library enormous flexibility and a wealth of creative possibilities. Load the provided .nki patches into your copy of Kontakt, or, just use the WAV files with your favourite sampling software.
PLEASE NOTE: This download provides WAV and .nki files only. These .nki files will load into all full versions of NI Kontakt or NI Kompakt, but are not usable with any Kontakt ´Player´. The free NI ´Kontakt Player´ (the one that is available from the NI website as a free download) is designed to load libraries from products that are ´powered´ by NI software, such as the original boxed DVD version of Nostalgia which was powered by NI "Kompakt Instrument" software which made it a plugin (that version of Nostalgia is no longer available however). The NI ´Kontakt Player´ will load .nki files but only in a ´demo´ mode (limited time), so you need Kontakt or Kompakt to use these .nki files. The WAV files can however be used with any software.
