First Look: Straylight by Native Instruments
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 лип 2019
- Straylight has blown me away. The instrument takes the granular synthesis technique a step further by curating select sample sources paired with an easy to use, yet powerful engine that delivers massive cinematic possibilities. I can't wait to use Straylight in my next trailer or sci-fi project.

Great in-depth review, Don ! Thanks for putting some much work into it.
you are very welcome Frank. Thanks for making a great instrument for all of us music makers
I waited for this and now it is black friday with Native!
yes and at a nice discount. PLUS - did you see they added import your own sample functionality?
@@SampleLibraryReviews Yes!
Cool review, I had so many questions about this vst so your review came in super handy!
Very pleased the video was helpful and useful for you Filipe. Thanks for the support
Great review and demo -subscribed! This will be a great addition for sound design and music composition!
Thanks James! Welcome to the channel and nice to meet you
Hi I've just bought the bundle on the back of your reviews. Thank you keep up the good work.
You are welcome Pete - I’m always pleased to hear when the videos are helpful. Enjoy your new instruments!
thanks. been hearing about it a lot , but nice to see it played through
...on sale today. Hurry up bro' !!!
21:59 The Grain and Sample can be turned on and off using the circle next to "Grain" or "Sample" to enable or disable them. Those can also be Midi automated and they do ring out so you can add them or mute them for individual notes.
Great review, and great library!
Thanks for the comment and support
Okay, gotta start saving up money again :D
It’s definitively a great tool for trailers and cinematic music. I wonder if it could be useful for more casual music, some electronic music à la Jean-Michel Jarre or Tangerine Dreams?
entweka fuck that I’m gonna make trap music with this, sounds are dope af
of course, don't limit yourself, use anything for anything, you'll only sound more original.
Very unfortunate that NI didn't include this in their K12 UCE monstrous bundle.
What's the name of the Techno track at the very end? Thank you Don for the video.
Hey J, I list track titles at the very end of the video and that one is an offical demo for Straylight titled "Zug" - unfortunately I don't see credit for the composer or I would have shared that as well. You are welcome and thanks for the support
For sample only, couldn’t one just turn the grain volume down? Or is that possible? Great tutorial man. I thinking real hard abt getting this real soon for my own original samples.

What is that led keyboard in the video at 1.21?
pretty sure that is the Editors Keys Backlit Keyboard for Cubase. I have it as well. Its great!
So it sounds like you don't use a Komplete Kontrol Keyboard to take advantage of its NKS control then? I'm curious as to how they laid it out. A lot of times controls will be very limited by default, though I'm hoping they tried to match it closely to the interface.
Komplete Kontrol keyboards are fully integrated. The first page contains XY, Macros and layer bypass controls. The following pages provide access to send effects, Grain engine, Sample layer and layer effects parameters. 13 pages in total, which go inline with the interface layout.
@@frankelting Excellent man, thank you so much :)
2¾ years of Kontakt 6, the unsung hero of these libraries (with which I mean the light-trilogy, play series and arkhis/sequis, among others).
Admit it, people are underrating Kontakt.
And okay, perhaps parallel mode has been in Kontakt since 5.5 (Output Substance makes use of it), but still!
Wanna Bladerunner?
Yeah?

Nice lol thanks for the comment Dank
@@SampleLibraryReviews Man, your reviews are the "straylight" of my day when they pop up in my subs.
is it possible to load your own samples into it to manipulate it?
No. This is more of a focused and curated instrument rather than being open ended.
@@Agharta99 alright thank you!
It is now, they’ve updated it :)
Drag and drop your own samples for one of a kind sounds??
I‘m not sure about Straylight but using Form from time to time... What makes/made you want to buy Straylight, when you already have Form?
uhm...it sounds totally different? i mean you could ask anyone: ,, why do you buy serum when you have absynth". sure, you can make your own sounds but it just sounds different. Moreover i had NI Form as a demo and it was hard to get some usefull stuff out of it (i mostly do cinematic music). Straylight seems way more fitting for this genre
Thank you for another amazing review. One thing I would recommend you to do is make your reviews shorter. about 10 mins or so, but this means a lot of valuable content has to be cut off but I think 10 min is definitely much easier to watch. Other than that I really love your reviews, keep it up.
Hey thanks so much for the suggestion Versa. I've worked on the reviews getting them into this format for a couple years now. I understand the strength of making a brief review, but honestly I dont think it would serve so many of the viewers as well as these instruments are so massive and diverse in their playback. I dont want the review to be just me telling you my opinion but sharing what it is like to play the instrument for the first time. I value your input thought Versa and will think on what might ad to the review from your input.
Sample Library Review don't reduce the length please! You can barely cover anything in ten minutes
I hear you but I like his playthroughs. There are screen casts that are hours long. But 35 min or so is good imo
