I grabbed Arturia’s Pigments over the holidays when it was on sale and I’m really glad I did. It’s a versatile workhorse, and if it was the only plugin I was allowed to use from now on I wouldn’t complain.

There’s a lot to like in the factory library, imo. And I agree with @hermbot – Junatik, and Travelizer are two of my favorites.
The user library of free instruments built by users is super cool. One of my favorite builders is Dieter Zobel. He refers to his instruments as “toys”— some are more musical than others, but they’re all interesting and fun to play with.

I recently got it but have only just scratched the surface. It’s very deep and promising as far as I can tell so far. Here’s a little noodles

I posted here over 2 1/2 years ago and my selection of plugins is the same right now as it was back then. The only things I’ve added that I think are really worth mentioning in this thread are Spitfire Audio libraries. More specifically the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the LCO Strings, which are both well worth the (quite large amount of) money in my opinion.

Sounds awesome and thanks for sharing. I think I will get it.

I have it as well and love it, although it took me a couple sessions to get used to the Kontakt interface.
The only word of caution I’d provide is that it is very CPU intensive. I’m not sure if they provide target specs on their website, but probably good to try to make sure your system can handle it.
Thanks for telling me! That’s good to know.
Same. It was the first time I strayed from their V Collection and I’m really impressed. It has a lot of depth and the visualizations are incredibly useful.
With that said, I love Artuira’s V Collection, which now includes a Mellotron, CV, Synthi, and a B-3 since @anon45924993 last posted it in this thread. I can’t afford a Buchla Easel but I can experiment with one using my MIDI controllers? Yes, please.

after a long while of hemming and some hawwing, i cant recall actually hawwing but anyway i bought sylenth and it’s kind of nice especially driven by some ACDGEN or Tie Sequencer
I have been endlessly intrigued by this package and love what I hear with your examples. I sadly just can’t justiy the purchase for a Kontakt library like this right now when I am surface level on so much gear, but one day, hopefully if they have a sale, I will get on this because the sounds generated are 100% my jam.
Me too and although I barely scraped the surface I’m hugely impressed with it.
Cycles is at the top of my digital wish list! One day I’ll be able to justify it. Mark my words.

If you’d like a new pad to play with while cooped up, I made one for piano book. It’s free.

Do yo need Kontakt to use it? or will Kontakt player be enough?
I’m going to level with you: I have no idea. But there’s only one way to find out!
You could easily map the samples to any sampler, though. There’s only 8 or 9.

You bet. It’s a wonderful project.
Edit: also in the free zone this week is a wonderful sample pack called Tape Haze 3 by blankfor.ms. You can snag it here: https://gumroad.com/l/tapehaze3/fs9hrj8

As I understand it, you need the full Kontakt version to take advantage of this.
I appreciate the link to Piano Book, @mattymattmatt! What an amazing project. Having mixed results so far though and I’m wondering if it’s because I’m using Logic’s ESX24 sampler rather than Kontakt.
I don’t have the full version of Kontakt, so I’ve been testing a few different samples that were offered for ESX24 but they are a bit disappointing so far - weird different sound levels, noise buildup, buggy behaviour where part of the keyboard would reset my sustain pedal.
You wouldn’t happen to have tried a sample set on there that you were happy with in Kontakt that were also offered in ESX24 format?
