Loving the Kore
Loving the Kore
Tried this new Kore player. Loved it.
I'm now trying the demo Kore 2, and I'm just so bloody impressed.
I'm having a similar reaction to when I first discovered Live, it's just really, really easy to get straight into making great sounds after a cursory skim-read of the manual.
10 minutes in, I loaded up Automat as a plug - just the default sine wave - added some of Kore's internal FX ( the harmonic thing is truly amazing when mapped to the pk pad), routed via Soundflower into Live and played with Padkontrol. Just dead simple, but it sounded great and was a lot of fun.
Yeah, so I think I'm actually more impressed by the workflow elements and its hosting capabilities than its Library & presets ( only because I don't use those super glossy sound in my work... although they do sound incredible).
I really like this trend of audio apps that organise stuff in surprisingly efficient ways. Kind of like Audiofinder - a quick dive in there and loads of cool ideas you forgot about show up - so Kore2 makes it a treat trying different combinations of plugs and fx.

Yeah, just really blown away by it. Honestly
I know my post sounds a bit spammy, but I meant it. Yeah, NI sometimes rush things out and people get justifiably fucked off about it, but they consistently come up with some astounding products too. And I reckon this whole Kore idea is revolutionary - somehow, it enables you to want to combine bits and pieces from your Libraries and gets you looking at your AUs etc in a new way.. I know Live can do this too, but - amongst other reasons - the cpu hit is lower in Kore when I get really greedy. .
OK, time to see if the $$ has hit my NI Bitch account.
