Hi Native Team, quick question, is it possible to deactivate the chord module and just use Playbox as a library instead (still randomizing sounds and fx)? The chords feature looks awesome for inspiration but having the possibility to just feed it midi or play it like a regular library (without having to "store" the chords in the chord section and playing them with one finger) would be awesome especially for composers given the sonic capabilities of this instrument!
Even just hearing some of these examples is slowly thawing my horrible writer’s block I’ve had for months now. I needed this. Clearly gonna have to pick this library up.
Native Instruments are always great for inspiring creativity but you should also consider: *Doing a collab with someone. *Trying a genre outside your comfort zone. *Try creating a track with limited samples and resources (you'll be surprised at what you can do). *Try writing a piece of music to a film scene (remove the original audio before hearing it) then compare results when youve finished it. These are just a few ideas but there are countless other ways. Good luck and hope you get your mojo back soon.
@@Reeceline Respect. Totally appreciate your thoughts here. It comes and goes, you know? Occasionally I sit down and might find a few chords, other times, it’s like pulling teeth. I have a ton of libraries and sometimes, no idea what to do with them. I think this library might just do the trick though. It’s certainly unique.
Pretty much the most interesting VST instrument I've bought in a long time. This thing is so creative, and it's great fun to just play around with it and create new sounds and chord progressions
It’s crazy, as a composer, I would first look at this as something that I would consider to be a “bullshit gimmick”.. but NOW after looking at it, seeing what it actually does and how amazing it sounds.. THIS IS A MUST BUY FOR composers and music producers because it truly opens your mind up to new possibilities using your normal creative process and putting it through Playbox. I am GETTING IT NOW! Awesome. Thank you.
Hi John, with today's technology in music, there really is no bullsh_t gimmick. It's all how you, the composer, writer, musician use them. Some will hate it, some will love it. i find that within my sound library acquired during 50 years of a music career, some things I hated 20 years ago, are perfect for a track I'm working on today. The best advice I can give anyone is do what you feel, do what you like, don't worry about others' opinions. There's an audience for all kinds of music. Write on good people!
This is honestly dope. Ive had it for about a year and never really messed with it. Was in a creative rut and started poking around. It is ridiculously creative
This instrument has been sat around in my toolbox for a long time, but I recently got really interested in Sound Design after using the Slate + Ash plugins. This video randomly appeared in my RUclips feed and I decided I must dust off this plugin and give it a go. I'm blown away by it. The ability to drop your own chords and samples into it, is a fantastic feature, although you can get lost for hours just cycling through random presets. This is going to be an essential tool for me going forward.
I would love native instruments to extend this concept by having the option to include their other instruments and 3rd party plugins to be included in the sound source ...even as a utility for another NI Release. Great sound engine and concept, would love to make use of the sound engine with the option to play the instruments with single notes alongside or with out chord generator. Gonna have play with PLAYBOX in the KOMPLTE NOW playroom
I absolutely love any VST with a randomise or morph function. Gladiator, Serum,, uSynth and now this. I wish there more. I've tried a few more but some do it better than others. This sounds beautiful but I guess it's cause it's sample based. I hope you expand on this idea 🙏
I guess I'm old skool, but after messing with this for awhile I had to dial up a monark preset & actually play a riff .... much more satisfying than playbox
6 months in and this has become my go to track starter! #1 It needs it's own controller. #2 An FX bus maybe below Pan and Volume so we can cut reverb and delay for specific instruments. I filter frequencies at this point, but adding that would make this more incredible than it already is... Bravo NI!
@@NativeInstruments when are you guys going to fix the issue in the Kontakt player with the low resolution, i bought komplete ultimate 11 and a maschine from you guys a few years ago, but i have refused to upgrade because ultimate 11 became unusable when i bought a 4k projector. other companies have made their existing vst libraries scalable but you all have not fixed this one issue yet. you guys are missing out on money because other customers like myself who have spent a 1000 or more on software dont want to upgrade when kontakt cant scale properly. If you fix the scaling issues i will then upgrade but until then i dont care how good these products look, if i cant scale properly im not buying. Please pass this message on to support team because i have seen thousands of others on reedit and other youtube videos also complaining about the fact your vst doesnt scale properly on 4k screens and windows 11 and 10.
@@california_dreamier NI would rather make new toys like Playbox than upgrade their core products. You will be getting Kontakt 7 in Komplete 14, I hope your issue is fixed... Meanwhile Battery hasn't had an upgrade in like 10 years. The FX section is pathetic, like something from the stone age. With the FX engines NI has built for all their new plugs the last few years they really should show some love to Battery.
@@Notecrusher yea i havent upgraded my komplete package in 3 years and i refuse to do it unless they fix the issues and scalability for 4k everyone has requested
So just to confirm, if I buy this standalone now and it is included with K14 when I inevitably upgrade, can I resell my standalone license and still use Playbox ongoing as part of my K14 package?
Make a Playbox 2 or do a sound upgrade add on etc.. seriously awesome .. you will be hearing the sounds in my next major project coming soon .. Thanks Native for introducing us to Playbox. I will be reaching out to you guys soon ✌❤❤
I like the sounds. My only criticism is that I wish there was an option to not use the chord feature so that I can play my own chords or notes without having to go through the extra step of programming it with the piano feature. Some of the sounds are great to where I would like to use them as lead sounds. In that regard it’s limiting. Great for people who aren’t keyboard players but it isn’t friendly to those who are keyboard players.
Two questions- 1.) How do you save settings that you like, and use them later? 2.) Is there a way to undo a change and 3.) let's say I really like just two of the four layers, can I take 'out' the other layers?
Just downloaded this today, it's a ton of fun, almost overwhelmingly good. With the all the randomization however it seems like a missed oppertunity to generate random names for user presets!
Native Instruments could be its own genre at this point... everything sounds pretty much the same, but with many different ways to generate outcomes. Nonetheless, it is fun to play around with these things.
@@NativeInstruments I did a livestream last night on Soul Magic and I want to say thank you guys for always pushing the needle and creating great sounds and plugins for us creators!!!! Great work!!!!
sometimes when you press your midi key the ball on the xy pad moves. I cant seem to find that setting in order to turn it on. So when i use playbox the xy pad doesnt change
So I have a sample I’m working on and playbox be giving me different keys of the sample I’m working for an example my chord progression notes go from A minor to E minor but on playbox when I lock the key to A I can’t find any other sounds to go with that E minor for the bass any help?
Maybe you could try making another track of the sample and take out the highs and mids. That way, you will just have the lows of the sample and it will match. This is a technique I used on the MPC 2000XL when I couldn't find the bass to follow a track.
Love this plugin, is there any way to use the sounds as one shots that without the chord generator like any other plugin? Sounds are so beautiful and as much as this is perfect against beatblock , using sounds normally would be an amazing feature
Call me crazy but this almost feels TOO good. What I mean is that after you've looped something up there isn't a lot of audio spectrum left when you're doing something like lofi. Just add drums. BUT - also too good to NOT buy. I'm getting this. It's everything I wished Arcade would've been. And I love the creative effects. Wish there was a way to use the effects module on an audio track in the DAW.
A Kontakt instrument, could have saved me time by sticking it in the title info. Good idea, sort of like a lot of things I do but all in one place, very good.
I've played around for a few hours now and I love it! Being able to use your own samples was way easier that I thought, so much fun to mix in your own samples. I've got two questions though. First, is there any way to lower/raise the sound of a specific sample in a specific chord? Second, I can't seem to find a way to randomize just one chord if you want to replace a specific chord. If that's not possible now I would love to see it in future updates. Great job! I would love to see this as a standalone plugin, but running it in Kontakt will do!
@@Marcus19851228 There is a workaround to randomizing one chord, you can lock all the one you wanna keep and then then press the randomize chord button (just remember to lock the scale as well)
This is relatively similar to Output's Arcade machine, however, without the tiring subscription model (unless you opt for the Komplete Now option of course). I think I prefer this though...gonna have to play around with it to decide.
This is a gamechanger but I cant seem to find a way to fit the samples from Playbox to the bpm of the project. when I change my bpm the samples do stretch to a faster or slower tempo but they still dont fit to the project's BPM. I could obviously render them out and stretch them to the bpm of the project but would be dope if theres a more automatic way to do this
Hey, thanks for the feedback! We chose Sampler Mode in Kontakt rather than Time Machine (which stretches the samples if you are using loops eg). There is only one shots in the library so it made sense for us to go this way first, but this is a feature we could consider for future updates 🙏
True! But this is more customisable, and hands on I think. Arcade is just ‘too easy’ to get something tasteful. I think this let’s you shape sounds and chords way more to your preferred taste or assignment.
Hey guys I'm pretty new at this thing and it's really funny to experiment. However, on the Samples section I cannot figure out a way - if I don't like a certain sound, how to remove it ? It only seems to be a way to Replace it ? Also the opposite, what if I would like to have 4 sounds on Only one button instead of all 8 ? Is that possible too ? Thanks thanks!
It looks great, it sounds great and the concept is great, but Kontakt 6 just does't cut it anymore. The low resolution interface is way out of date, some fonts are so pixely the could be coming straight out of Minecraft and not being able to double click a control to reset it make all Kontakt instruments kind of a pain to use, no matter the quality of the instrument itself. It's a problem with lots of Native Instruments products. They are unrivalled in sound and burst with innovation and creativity, but the technical side of things always lacks behind. They are one of the only big music software makers with no native Apple Silicon support, Reaktor looks shitty and is low resolution, VST3 took them ages and is still not fully supported. On my M1 machine, scrolling in Komplete Kontrol regularly doesn't work, samples are not loaded properly upon project recall, and sometimes the interface doesn't respond at all, though I think this is an issue with AU rosetta translation and Ableton. But still, this would not be a problem if the plugins would run natively!
@@turquoisemintskyblueteal2401 im with you on this bro, i cant even use my komplete 11 because of the scaling issues with my 4k projector, i have refused to buy anything else from them until they fix scaling. I basically have a 1000 dollar paperweight because of scaling problems.
