Thanks a lot!

Hey! Glad you were able to get the cymbal issue worked out. As for the rimshots being louder, you might be able to control some of that in Page 1 and 2 of the Settings page. We included TRIM functions for all of the hits and built-in one-shot samples. So maybe try adjusting some of these so that the rimshot is a bit more equal to your liking. Keep me posted, and thanks for much for the e-kit feedback. We're always trying to find ways we can improve e-kit functionality as we move forward with other projects. So it's very helpful.

@@rsdrumsofficial Thanks for the reply! I just completed a track using the Monarch kit and it sounds so dope. I took a bunch of time inside the UI and found all of the little nooks and quirks to build the kit to my taste for the song. I love all of the features y'all built into this kit. It seriously takes off so much time individually routing to independent tracks in Logic. I also purchased the Fairview kit along with Monarch but haven't opened it up yet to play with it. Hoping it has the same functional tweaking available. For the snare, I did discover the trim within the sub menus and one-shots and played around with it. But the thing is, I really like the intensity of how the rim shot sounds and didn't want to sacrifice its punch it was delivering. So I ended up just routing only the snare to its own channel and ran it through some multi channel compressors and was able to bring everything forward how I like. Then bussing everything to a compressor for the glue and, got to say, this is my new go to kit for a long time for future tracks. Question: Inside of the GGD libraries there are fidelity options to select (High, Mid, and Low CPU) options. I understand why they do this and it makes sense for helping people not crash their DAWs depending on the project. However, I always want the highest sample rate possible. I don't see an option like that within Monarch and just want to make sure I'm getting the highest quality I can. I understand that it might only help with longer sustains but am just curious if Monarch is at its highest quality right out of the box. Sure sounds like it is! Again, excellent work on this kit.

Oh, and what is Aftertouch? Where does that being turned on serve a purpose? Thanks!

These grooves are only for this demo, but Monarch does come with it's own unique groove pack of 100+ grooves and fills.

Thank you!

These grooves do not, but Monarch comes with it's own unique groove pack of 100+ grooves and fills. We also send out free grooves monthly if you're signed up for our email list, and these grooves may be part of one of those emails coming up.

@rsdrumsofficial oooh hell yeah, I’ll be coping "The Monarch Kit" Black Friday, the snares are incredible with this one, definitely will be signing up as well, free midi packs !? I live for that since I’m a guitar player, appreciate the feedback.

@@ashthereverseflash Awesome! Yea, we send out a few MIDI files every month to email subscribers, and these will work with both Monarch's and Fairview's groove player. Just need to install like any other MIDI groove pack.

You'll need Kontakt Player (free) for Monarch. And yes, Monarch does include it's own unique groove pack with 100+ grooves/fills.

Yes! We added aftertouch. I'll be releasing a video soon about setting up Monarch with an E-Kit.

@@rsdrumsofficial amazing - thanks for listening to your users!

@@Emm_R_Guitar Absolutely! We're always looking for ways to provide updates as needed. So all of the feedback is super helpful.

I don't seem to have the NKI. file so I can add the tab to the browser then load individual kits to the tab. Update, I saw the notes on your website about adding the serial number in NI and think it is going ok now.

@@WrongSideOf50Drummer-hj9ol Apologies for the delay in response. Yes, you'll need to install Monarch through Native Access first, using the serial license that was emailed to you after purchase. This will get everything working properly in Kontakt. Keep me posted if you have any other questions.

@@rsdrumsofficial Thanks I realised that in the end after reading the notes. I am just going through various settings and kits etc. My Roland TD1 module is not the best so I am trying various settings. My biggest problem at the moment is getting a good sound from the closed hi hat, it fine open and I have watched the video about the Fairview kit - I am going to tweak the velocity curves, maybe that might help. Thanks for the earlier reply. Rgds Gary

@@WrongSideOf50Drummer-hj9ol Sounds good! Yea, the hi-hat setup is always the most difficult to get working properly with Kontakt libraries. As long as the CC values are assigned properly first, followed by the pedal hat articulation, should be all good to go.

@@rsdrumsofficial I think it all look ok, but if you feel the need to make a video going indepth I would be most appreciative. Rgds Gary

Thanks a lot! We definitely plan to work on an update for Fairview to implement a lot of the new features we included in Monarch, mainly with the one-shots section.

@@rsdrumsofficial GREAT NEWS!

Not at the moment, but the process for setting up outputs in Kontakt should be the same. Just setting up channels in your DAW to route Kontakt will be different.

@ I managed to figure it out , but I had to make 24 channels.

E-Kit video coming soon! I go through setting up Monarch with my E-kit (Roland TD 27 Module) in Pro Tools, but the process should be very similar regardless of DAW. Should hopefully have it out this coming weekend or early next week.

@@rsdrumsofficial I have the very basic TD1 with the TD-1Kv but I am hoping to upgrade to the TD27KV2 very soon so I will look forward to seeing the new video. Thanks for the prompt reply and good luck with your product.

@@WrongSideOf50Drummer-hj9ol Awesome! Yea, the process should be very similar regardless of module and/or DAW. Most of the work to assign is inside of Monarch's settings page, which I cover in the video and go through the process of assigning all cymbals and drums.

@@rsdrumsofficial I saw the other video about linking with a Roland module and it all looks straight forward, thanks again for the prompt reply.

@@WrongSideOf50Drummer-hj9ol Awesome! Yea, the process is exactly the same with Monarch, including the hi-hats.

Thank you! There's 10 snare options total in Monarch. \m/

@@rsdrumsofficial That's good to know - I do love the default kit snare though, just the sound I am after. Reminiscent of The Cult and also Billy Idol's - Rebel Yell - recorded live in Chicago 2009.

@@WrongSideOf50Drummer-hj9ol Glad to hear it! Thanks for the kind words.

Really happy to hear that! I was pretty excited about those added features. So really appreciate the feedback. Hope you enjoy the new kit! \m/

Thanks a lot Charlie! Hope all is well!

Update, So I had to create new outputs in the stand alone version before they would show in the Daw Version. then I was able to make new outputs in the daw.

@@beasterfield321 Ok! Glad you were able to get this worked out. What DAW are you in? Also, you can save the output section for all formats of Kontakt. That way, when you open Kontakt in any new session moving forward, your outputs section will already be ready to go.

@@rsdrumsofficial pro tools

Yoooo.... hahaha! Nice. \m/

Hope you like the drum library!

Glad you like them! Let us know which one ends up making it into a mix.

It could be related to one of the mix presets you're using. The 105 and the Metalcore Money are both a bit heavier on CPU, especially the 105. The Default 1 and 2 are a bit lighter.

Thanks so much Ryan! Really appreciate all of the support. Excited for you to try the new library!

No Studio One routing videos unfortunately, however, the Kontakt outputs setup portion will be the same.

Unfortunately, Fairview does not support aftertouch right now, however, this is something we plan to update in the future. Our next library will have aftertouch available for cymbal mutes.

Thanks a lot for the kind words and feedback! Very awesome to hear it, and I hope you're enjoying Fairview so far.

With Fairview, you can only load a single one shot for kick and a single one shot for snare. We've considered adding this feature in future kits, but not sure yet. The next library will be the same as Fairview, but we're adding the ability to also load tom one shot hits.

We're actually working on this right now for our next library. It's definitely a bit tricky getting aftertouch working how it should, but I'd like to sort this out if we can. The new library, which will hopefully be released in a month or two, has much more dynamics compared to Fairview. So it feels better to play on an e-kit already. However, I'm just trying to fine-tune the small details, aftertouch included. We do have cymbal mutes available within the instrument now. Just need to test more.

@@rsdrumsofficial amazing, I'll be keeping an eye out for Monarch 100% - fantastic to now know a timeline. Just for context I emailed you guys a few weeks ago. Great customer support by the way! I emailed a bunch of other drum librarys makers and yours was one of the few that seemed to understand my query and let me know its being implemented for future releases.

You just said exactly what I wanted to say after a few hours of research lol. Came here hoping for a better aftertouch than the competition.

@@DaemonDrummer33 We've added aftertouch to our next library, and we'll be releasing aftertouch for Fairview in an update hopefully in a few months. Our next library should be out in October though, just pending some final coordination with Native Instruments.

@@rsdrumsofficial I'm actually seriously excited for this. If its does what I need I can use it for all my demos and drum tracking. Convert my gp5 to 1 midi map and then play in extra with my ekit It would speed up demoing stuff so god damn much.

Thanks a lot for the feedback! Really appreciate it.

Thanks a lot for the feedback! We'd definitely love to add more Meinl cymbals. We have some exciting combinations coming up in the next kit that we hope people will like. \m/

Simen is a LEGEND \m/

Yes, you'll be able to download and install any Kontakt libraries onto an external drive and run them. You'll need to change the content location settings in your preferences for Native Access prior to downloading/installing Fairview. Select the content location to be onto your external drive.

@@rsdrumsofficialthanks so much

Thanks a lot for the great feedback! We really appreciate it. There will be a few different cymbal options on the next kit, in specific, a normal crash and a trash crash on the far left. We're also trying to figure out if we can add multi-out routing on the Sub Mixer, so you can do exactly what you described and route individual microphones. It'll bypass any internal bus processing we have for the mix presets if you route from here, but we figured that anyone who wants to route individual mic's will most likely have a different workflow anyways that doesn't rely on the mix presets. Hopefully the next kit accomplishes what you're looking for. \m/

Thanks a lot Ehsan! Happy to hear you liked that new addition. \m/

Thanks for much for the kind words! This really means a lot, and I'm really happy to hear you're liking the instrument so far. Please feel free to let me know if you have any feedback or features you'd like to see in the next instrument.

Thanks a lot for the feedback! Really happy to hear it. \m/

Thanks a lot Brian! Hope all is well, and thanks for the feedback.

Thanks a lot Brian! \m/

They come with both versions. If you purchase and install Fairview you now, you'll be downloading and installing the most recent version available. So you'll be all good to go. \m/

i agree man, im honestly surprised there havent been more libraries featuring the starclassic as its such an amazing sounding kit, and all the built-in processing in this plugin is absolutely outstanding. great work guys!

Thanks so much for the kind words and feedback on this. Really makes me happy to hear it. If either of you have any feedback for the next instrument, please feel free to let me know. It'll be fairly similar to Fairview in functionality, with some minor differences.

@@rsdrumsofficial I'm very excited to see what's new

Thank you! Unfortunately, not at the moment. Maybe in the future when we've grown a bit more.

We can't take any credit. Ryan Wood was the brains behind the heavies. \m/

Paralax template? We never released any templates on our end for Fairview. Maybe some guitarists have.

@@rsdrumsofficial i could have swore I saw one when this was released. Maybe another video

Unfortunately, we don't have any mix or routing templates available, but we'll be adding some to our site eventually.

@@rsdrumsofficial one with plini plugin would be killer. Im working on one
