Who can dislike Stefano Maccarelli? The guy is humble down to earth, workaholic, delivers the most afforded sound toys and deep 40+ or even 60+ minutes tutorials. Man! your English is the most comprehended English to me, no worries :)
Stefano. Your English is just fine. I prefer listening to you! One of the greatest, lesser known values in your work is the tutorials you make to go along with your products. Thank you so much for this.
Hey there, thanks. You know, I always have a bit of fear that I can't express myself clearly enough. So thank you truly from the bottom of my heart; this sincere feedback reassures me. Yes, I've always thought that what really matters is what I create...and the sound..., but I realize that how you present concepts can also be important. Anyway, I'm not interested in being perfect. I'm Italian, I understand English quite well. I worked at FOX as a sound designer, which was a multinational and multi-ethnic company, and I dealt with people from every nationality, but obviously, speaking in a video is different. So yes, my goal is not to be perfect but to be clear enough for a tutorial. Anyway, thanks for this valuable information for me!
Auguri Stefano what a great product. I just love listening to you in these walkthroughs. In a time where almost every develoer has walkthroughs with the same AI voice its so beautiful and refreshing. So please never replace it with such things and stay as authentic as you are fratello. Un Saluto da Colognia😊
This sounds a lot like melodysheep's work. I absolutely adore that style and this piece of software does an incredible job at size and impact with very good texture, and I think you nailed the Hans Zimmerman style.
Well where do I start? Not only does Kepler have every single dream patch I think I could ever want. Not only does it have bass pulses I have sought after for soooo long and yes have found a few good ones, but nothing close to this (for me anyway). I purchased Kepler today and my eyes are burning from looking at the screen for hours and hours, and the ear candy setting off all my senses every time I click to a new patch. You Mr Maccarelli have done something extremely special here. This should NOT be the price it is, and I can say that having already purchased it :-) for what you get and the quality of the sounds, the processing and the power ... well I could go on and on. You have a huge fan and I will go through the other plugins you have been involved in, if they are as good as this which I am sure they are, I will be gladly handing over my hard earned money. You are also clearly a nice guy too and to hear you say you wanted to create Kepler with patches YOU would use says it all to me. This is just awesome and I can't thank you enough. Ok, I will stop there I have some tracks to write !!!
Hello! Thank you for this sincere feedback. It recharges my batteries more than you know! For me, receiving this kind of feedback is at least as valuable as the financial aspect that allows me to live. For this, I thank you doubly, both for purchasing it and for this feedback that motivates me to continue! Thank you!
@@StefanoMaccarelli A Plugin can be just a Plugin in my opinion. It's easy to get sucked into hype and you purchase it and then forget you even own it let alone use it. Your Plugin is truly amazing and with your passion behind it makes it all the better. I still can't believe the price as I personally think this is better than plugins I have paid £400 for !! have a great week and thanks again. btw I am about to purchase the Ethera plugins also :)
@@paulg3388 Thanks again, mate! If you want a recommendation for the Ethera series, start with Atlantis III and Prometheus when you decide. They are my favorites 🙂
@@StefanoMaccarelli yes Atlantis 3 I like the sound of for what I want to create. I purchased Storm Choir thinking I would use it but haven’t much to be honest and I need something more beautiful and serene in the compositions. Thanks again!
@@StefanoMaccarelli final question then I’ll leave you in peace. You mention Ark, is this metropolis Ark? I was looking at the 5th version, do you have that and would you recommend Meteopolis Ark series with all your experience? I have BBSO and Spitfire Symphony and a number of others but looking for something more punchy. Thanks !!
Oh, thanks for this feedback. It helps me a lot! For me, it's crucial that the 'sense' of what I'm saying is clear and easy to understand in the video. I know that I make some grammar mistakes when I talk, but it's important that it's not too difficult to understand me. This is important. Thank you very much, mate !
Caro Stefano, I bought the Kepler bundle before even finishing your tutorial. The sounds are amazing, others charge a lot more for less. Very well thought out and superbly sampled. Thank you for all the work you put in not only to create this library but also the extensive tutorials which really help to get an understanding of all the fantastic content. This will keep me busy for days on end. . .
I don't currently have a project in mind for which this library is a good fit, but I bought it anyway because it has such a beautiful and powerful set of tools for my toolbox for a more than fair price. Also, I am very happy with my other Zero G libraries, especially the Atlantis vocal libraries. Thank you so much Stefano for all your wonderful contributions to the music production community.
Thank you! Look, I can tell you that Kepler is good for any project. Don't be fooled by the appearance, it's like DUNE. You can do so many different things with it. Starting from emotional things exploiting the Texture of Strings. Take a look at my specific tutorials to get an idea. Thank you very much!
@@StefanoMaccarelli thanks so much for responding to my comment! I will study your excellent tutorials and review the presets, so that when the need presents itself, I will be ready.
Thanks . In my libraries, I always aim to capture as much 'expressiveness' as possible-it's all about catching the musician's vibe. The libraries I create are unique, not your typical orchestral stuff, so nailing that feeling is absolutely crucial for me.
Simply stunning. Now I'm going to have to upgrade my NI Komplete so I can buy this library! Stefano really is becoming my favourite sample library developer
I purchased this library some time ago , but I absolutely love the fact that I can come to the tutorials to refresh my memory. Thank you so much for these.
Man, I've hardly slept since Kepler came out. So many ideas keep coming to me. It's a real inspiration explosion🌠 Thank you again and again Stefano for sharing your creations with us, which I don't take for granted at all🙏 I'll put on my LCD-X and keep going😁 PS: your script legato without triggering again and again on every note is really brilliant. I love playing it that way.
Hey man, thanks! Yes, I always start from the idea that a library should also help me find inspiration. I find it essential. Often you just start with a Preset, begin layering, and the ideas flow. We even have the same headphones :-D Fantastic LCD-X!
@@StefanoMaccarelli I think because you do it primarily for yourself it works very well for others too. From musician to musician, so to speak. Since you also have a preference for Hans Zimmer's compositions and sound design, it fits particularly well for me, because I love this creative bombas music. If you haven't already done so, try your LCD-X with Sienna (Acustica Audio). Sienna works best with the LCD-X. You may even like the sound better :)
Bravo ....mi piace molto ...come d'altra parte i prodotti precedenti. So già che non mancherà anche questo Kepler nel mio arsenale 🙂 sai com'é ....senti due o tre cosette e parte l'ispirazione e conseguentemente non vedi l'ora di metterla in pratica.
Okay so THIS is the video, that sold me Kepler. I have been considering stuff like Damage 2 and Gravity 2 from Heavyocity, but I actually feel their sound is too hyped. And to be honest just too darn expensive, when we can have something like this at less than have the price…even on sale!
Thanks ! Mate This is a great feedback for me! If you're into percussion (Damage-style), check out our new CARTAGO. It's available for pre-order at just $75-an AMAZING deal! Check the video here on my channel !
Use your loyalty code to get a 20% discount on Kepler, which will also be 15% off at launch. So, you will get a 35% discount on the list price of Kepler. I would say it's a great deal for a brand new library 😀
hello, I have a question, there are more sequenced things in Kepler (one key on the midi keyboard triggers some sequence) or are there more things/sounds that we play in our own way, playing our own chords? I'm asking because I'm not a fan of holding one key with a ready-made melody written on it, but of creating my own sound and playing my own chords that I use in my projects. I have Elements and there are more sounds there or they create them playing their full chords from the midi keyboard. Kepler sounds fantastic, like the soundtrack to Dune part 2 (I only watched the Kepler trailer so I could discover and create sounds myself) and I love such sounds but I don't want to buy something that has more sequential sounds under one key than the ability to freely create and play full chords from a midi keyboard . Thank you in advance for your answer and great appreciation for creating dune sounds that HZ himself would be proud of :D
Hi, well really, except for a few rare cases, everything here is full playable. There are no pre-made 'melodies'. The rhythmic synth parts/ sound sources are fully playable, sampled for each note, so you can play whatever you want as I demonstrate in the video. You'll understand it better in the other tutorials that will follow. You can play any chords, melodies or what you want. What I did, is that I sampled also the organic, rhythmic movement. But all the notes are sampled, even in the parts with organic rhythmic sound. This allows you to play any harmony or melody with those sounds. No Melody/Harmony limitation.
@@StefanoMaccarelli Great, I'm really happy that I will be able to create sounds similar to dune. Taking advantage of the summer sale, I will also buy Ethera Gold 2.5 with Prometheus, which together with Elements, Alntantis 3 and Kepler will create a complete combo for arranging movie scenes for any occasion 🔥🔥. It's going to be a great weekend, I can't wait. I just hope that my laptop (Ryzen 5700u and 16GB RAM) will be able to run Kepler without any major problems :)
@@MR-gd9xy Some guys who did demos worked with a MacBook M1 and 16GB. Maybe compared to working with a machine like mine that has 128 GB, you'll have to do a few more Freezes 🙂
@@StefanoMaccarelli I'm planning to change my computer to a more powerful one at the turn of July/August, but I don't know what to get: a case with an i9 14gen processor and 32GB, or one of the Macbooks M1, M2, M3, or wait for the M4 or maybe a Mac Mini 🤔

Just curious does Kepler have something like a Duduk in it?
No, it has some wind textures, created sampling a Duduk. This is an Hybrid Library, the Duduk is a littel bit to much "ethnic" to be includeed here. 🙂
Price? And is there a loyalty discount for former elements owners or ethera owners?
Yes there is the loyalty discount, Tomorrow you wil have the info 🙂
