What's new

ProjectSAM Lineage Percussion for Kontakt and Kontakt Player

Unfortunately I'm not able to listen in to the walkthrough. What's the ambience of the recording location for this percussion? Couldn't find much useful info on the venue mentioned other than it appears to be a concert hall.
 
So, it's a bit of tie between True Strike 2 (at the sale price) and Lineage Percussion core. Although with the latter there is always the possibility to upgrade to pro later, I feel that TS is better value.
 
Very tempting, I love how crisp and clear everything is. I've been using LA Drama Drums pretty much since it came out and it's great but the cymbals lack a certain splashiness I've wanted. The kit builder here would be a great as I could have all my cymbals mapped out in one instance with still a midi track for each individually (I like seeing what is doing what and where otherwise I'll get lost in my own writing :emoji_cold_sweat:)

Alas, I have to pay for a surgery after almost cutting the tip of my finger off with a vegetable peeler so I will likely miss the intro price (be careful out there folks, them's sharp!)
Wishing you speedy, easy full recovery Tim!
 
Minor typo on the site
Noted and fixed, thanks!
Congrats on the release. Is there any info on the number of RRs or dynamic layers?
The amount of round robins and dynamic layers differs per instrument and per articulation. We currently don't have a document or sheet available that is ready for sharing (it's quite a lot of detail!), but we will look into this.

Will there be an opportunity to upgrade from Core to Pro?? I'm suprised there's no Celesta..!
Both Lineage Percussion Pro and Core do include a Celesta. There currently is a minor mistake on the official Lineage Percussion instrument list: Under 'Pitched' where it currently says 'Snare Drum Ensemble 2' it should say 'Celesta'. This will be fixed shortly.

Looks like there isn't going to be any loyalty discount for true strike owners which is a shame.
Happy to tell you there is! After February 6th, all registered True Strike 1 users qualify for a 10% discount on Lineage Percussion Pro or Core. Watch your inbox for more information!

is that the same hall that True Strike was recorded in?
No, True Strike was recorded in a different hall. Back in 2003 we were still experimenting with different concert halls looking for our sound. True Strike was recorded in the era of SAM Horns and SAM Trombones. Since Symphobia 1 our orchestral libraries have been recorded in the same concert hall.
 
It says in the walkthrough that you can always upgrade from core to pro but I'm not sure on the pricing for that.
I recently upgraded from Pandora Core to Pro. It's a manual process via their (very responsive) customer service (the upgrade page is broken and you have to drop them a note) for which they charge a processing fee of ca. 35 Euros, plus the price discrepancy between the Core and the Pro version. I upgraded during a sale and they counted that towards the price of the upgrade. But buying the core and then upgrading will be more expensive than simply buying the pro. I assume it will be similar for this library.

Ok great, thanks for this. So it's probably not going to be just a simple pay the difference between core and pro upgrade, but will probably come with a 35 euro additional cost if you wanted to upgrade to the pro version after buying the core one.
 
The ability to change the mapping on the keyboard to suit your midi controller (and just general preferences) is such a great feature. Great work.

Also wondering if the XY stage effect is visible to a DAW's automation.
 
I will be getting this at some point. I like that you made a Core version for budget customers. For now, I have True Strike to enjoy.
 
Congrats, sounds great :)

A little thing: Is it mentioned anywhere in the opening post that the price listed is excl. VAT? I couldn’t find that info at least. Only discovered this when visiting the product page at Project SAM.

So, one of the halls at Utrechts Conservatorium.
 
Files sizes are not matching up for Lineage Percussion Pro. I downloaded manually from ProjectSam and the folder size was 51.33 in Native access it shows 51.04 and the site says it's 101 GB. Is the 101GB what is required for the install or is it a typo?
