Hats of to you for this mammoth demo. I was pondering throwing my money at a double offer of 35% off with the added latest collaboration of sound with this company and NI. You have helped me decide and I am now a little poorer financially , but emotionally richer musically , thank you 😊
Once again a fantastic demonstration of the instrument with each preset tastefully played and presented Companies like Spitfire should sponsor you to promote their products thanks for this
This is one instrument which makes it hard to wait for October 1st when I finally get my K13 Ultimate unlocked. Such a versatile and incredible sounding orchestral tool!
Thanks, Greg that was fantastic. I was on the fence with this software because no one did a good demonstration of it. I didn't realize how many great sounds it had in it. Wow, that like so great sounding and keeping in mind these are just the preset. I will be getting this ASAP and again great job and thanks.
In trying to sort myself out this Black Friday with a limited budget, this was a super-useful video for me. I really loved listening to the sounds and I can definitely see a place for them in the music I write. Thank you so much for putting this video together!
This is just inspired me stack three instruments together in logic have three different kinds of inversion using scaler on the instruments and then play them together
Very good video. It is so great to hear all the presets! Thank you. Yes i will buy this today 😊I haven't heard such amazing inspiring sounds in any other instrument.
This is a milestone library ..an oasis in the avalanche of underscore wanna bee’s .of those I have auditioned , which available at this of time writing . 🦄🙏🏿👍🎩✨🎵🦄
Greg Allison Yes please do make that video. I’m brand new to making music and your videos among others help to inspire me. My Arkhis sounds very different to how you play it. So I would love to see a closer look at what keys/chords you played in this piece. Thanks buddy
I love the way you made this-- in-depth but straight to the point, and your playing is insanely beautiful. Thank you for your time and effort. Subscribed!
the summer cannot come fast enough, when the stars will align and horns will sound, and from the heavens a 50% off sale at NI for Komplete 13 Collectors Edition will arrive!
I’d love to know who conceived the musical content of this library….as for ques and scores as a stand-alone it’s genius ..as for underscores it’s a catapult for inspiration 🙏👍 evidence harmonics patch 😉
So I know you use the mod wheel to go through the 3 layers, but how would you (if there’s a way) change the velocity while recording with the controller? Or would you have to change that post recording?
I usually just played along as I blended in the multiple layers. I like playing with patches that expressively follow how I play, so I just play the keys a little harder as the patch evolves.
Thanks for putting this together, very helpful. Is there a list somewhere of the instruments and their articulations (not the presets)? Oddly, Native Instruments doesn't put this in their description.
I don’t believe there is a list of the instruments/articulations. I think NI intended on the instrument to be played more for textures and sound design, instead of being played as an orchestral suite like Session Strings or Session Horns, etc.
The sounds are super unique and beautiful! Is this really only a specialized sound library, or could it also just be used for a traditional orchestral sample library?
I’ve had a few people ask. I personally like it for underscoring or long held out notes. Although, with layering the sustained sounds, you could very easily play it and compose as a traditional orchestral library.
what is the inverted semi-circle (beneath the transition animation) - is this an expression fader? If so, were you playing all patches at a single, constant level of expression?
I'm very torn about this one, because I love how some of these presets sound, but I wonder if I should just learn to create these effects myself starting from the raw libraries. For now I'll use this video as an inspiration and if I like a texture I'll try to replicate it. If it turns out to be too hard, I'll just buy the damn thing. 😂
Are these single loops/ samples Or can you play these like notes like a traditional synth. Im confused by the various videos, how much you can actually edit.
Hello! Some of these I play as 1 sustained note/Sample, but the majority I played as I would a traditional synth. I prefer to play chord progressions, so I leaned toward playing it with chord movement instead of just hitting one note and sustaining it.
Overall, I feel like the Arkhis samples and the way the instrument layers them with a range from subtle to drastic movement is fresh and inspiring. Let me know if you end up getting it!
I came here for the presets and stayed for the free soundtrack being performed.
exactly - I have listened to almost the entire thing - very satisfying and doesn't interfere with reading or writing
I love reading comments like these. I’m glad you enjoyed it!

This is how demos should sound. Absolutely superb use of the sounds. Kudos to you dude!
This is literally paradise for creating trailer music intros!! Thanks Greg for the complete overview and so glad I got this!!
So glad to hear you decided to get it. Enjoy!
for the 100th comment : thanx for sharing ! Having Arkis, you make me save a lot of time by providing this huge preset recap 🤘
Thanks! Glad to hear you enjoyed!
I like every single one these. I didn't throw a single preset out the window. Just damn beautiful even in 2022!
Once again a fantastic demonstration of the instrument

This is one instrument which makes it hard to wait for October 1st when I finally get my K13 Ultimate unlocked. Such a versatile and incredible sounding orchestral tool!
I totally understand! I may find myself waiting a little while to upgrade to K13U, but man, it's got a ton of amazing new features and instruments.
Never have I ever meant a "thank you for your time" more honestly - THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, this is just brilliant; could listen to this forever!
These are amazing...it's like im listening to film scores from an epic motionpicture ending
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed the content!
thanks...Long slowmotion pads ,pastoral music ,a drone flying over fields-or out space non gravity floating.

Jay Mac, I’m glad this video could help! It’s such an inspiring and musical soundscape instrument.
Many thanks for doing this. Really appreciate the time and patience it took!
Perfect demo, thanks a lot!
orchestral tools and NI are really showing the beauty of composing in just one vst
Totally. I’m so excited to see what else comes next.
In trying to sort myself out this Black Friday with a limited budget, this was a super-useful video for me. I really loved listening to the sounds and I can definitely see a place for them in the music I write. Thank you so much for putting this video together!
My pleasure. Glad the video could help you out!
Thanks Greg for the complete overview
Man, thanks so much for putting this together! I listened through the whole thing and wrote down my faves for later use. Made a huge difference!
Also, how inspiring is this? Wrote 4 new songs first thing after getting the plugin!
This is exactly what I need! Thank you for the awesome video.
This is just inspired me stack three instruments together in logic have three different kinds of inversion using scaler on the instruments and then play them together
Hey Greg, thanks a lot for taking the time to go through these presets. This instrument sounds great.
Thanks Richard. I always have fun diving into a new sample instrument and Arkhis will definitely be a favorite of mine for quite a while!
Thanks for putting the work in on show casing this instrument ...it’s the best underscoring resource I have ever heard. 🙏🙏🏿👍
Very good video. It is so great to hear all the presets! Thank you. Yes i will buy this today 😊I haven't heard such amazing inspiring sounds in any other instrument.
Tore! Wish I would have responded sooner. Hope you're enjoying your purchase, even nearly a year later. Take care!
epic man, i just worked for 3 hours to this...and i'm buying it today
Thanks for the kind words! Enjoy!
2:35:45 this patch is amazing!
Great!!! Thanks
damn man this is soundtrack elite
and i just bought the 13 collector's edition -
oh the fun that awaits me
This is a milestone library ..an oasis in the avalanche of underscore wanna bee’s .of those I have auditioned , which available at this of time writing . 🦄🙏🏿👍🎩✨🎵🦄
Well said!
I have just purchased this. It’s awesome. Thanks for the video 👍🏻 I need to learn how to play it like you do.
Enjoy it my friend! I appreciate the kind words. I might have to make a video on chord voicings and progressions.
Greg Allison Yes please do make that video. I’m brand new to making music and your videos among others help to inspire me. My Arkhis sounds very different to how you play it. So I would love to see a closer look at what keys/chords you played in this piece. Thanks buddy
3 hours ! Bravo
Bella maratona di 3 ore
Wonderful!
I wish all VI would do this! Thanks!
I love the way you made this-- in-depth but straight to the point, and your playing is insanely beautiful. Thank you for your time and effort. Subscribed!
Wonderful Vid for those that are interested in Arkhis. Many thanks for spending the time to create this post.
this is Great!
Thanks Paul!
This is so helpful, thank you very much for your time and afford.
Thank you for this great video 👌🏼 Cheers.
My soul needs this. I can then pretend to be as talented as Michael Nyman and Max Richter - great demo of this lovely instrument
I have Time Macro & Micro and all the Arks & Inspires. Do I need this? So many great presets!
Another great library, I use this a ton in my music. I got it when it first came out.
the summer cannot come fast enough, when the stars will align and horns will sound, and from the heavens a 50% off sale at NI for Komplete 13 Collectors Edition will arrive!
Summer has arrived. Got my CE yesterday!!
Thank you for sharing 👏
The Sound at 1:20:19 (Sad Sparkles) is very similar to "Unity Says Goodbye" from Rick & Morty
Thanks for this excellent and useful video.
One of the Best vsti (l have more than 50 with kontakt ...). Each sound is a universe.
Very helpful review! Thank you!
You're welcome Biow!
thanks so much for doing this - well done!
Lovely video
Great job man! Love your dedication.
Thanks Abraham!
thank you, enlightening.

This program preset alone is great

what is the inverted semi-circle (beneath the transition animation) - is this an expression fader? If so, were you playing all patches at a single, constant level of expression?
I may be wrong in this, but I believe it is the LFO amount which is tied to the oscillation that sweeps between the different sounds.
@@GregAllison that’s the top semi circle, that moves with the mod wheel. The other one, inverted relative to this, seems like it’s expression?
@@RLeaguer_Saint I just watched the NI Walkthrough - I think the bottom wheel is related to the FX mix.
Thank you so much for putting this together. Super helpful, although I don't think my wallet would thank you

You never know. Black Friday sales are just around the corner!

Finally a demoer who can play.
I was thinking about buying this while its on sale rn, do you think its worth it? It seems really cool for ambience
Totally!
Ambience is actually a huge part of why I got it back a couple of months ago. It’s a fun instrument.
Them chords tho... Where have you been man?
Are you using a sustain pedal?
Yes! I play it as I would a traditional synth/keyboard.
This comment is going to hurt, but it's going to make you better: Learn more chord progressions. Thanks for showing us the presets.
