This looks like the best thing to come out from NI in a long time
This one got me intrigued more than any other NI release in the last few years.
Well that was unpredictable. Nice work NI and thank you very much DRUMASONIC.
I want this. This is the perfect library to level up my percussion loops
Wow incredible! it's going to be complicated to hear the difference with handmade percussion.
Well done !
I'm going to buy it right away.
This is a seriously powerful tool!!!! On the wishlist!!
What a State-Of-The-Art plugin for $99😱❤
Awesome, I can finally free up my hard drive from a million redundant sample packs! Thanks NI.
You're welcome 😎
Congrats to team, great one ! 👏👏👏
Just amazing!!!!
I bought it instantly and used it on a worship service for my backing tracks. Perfect.
Nice work! This sessions instruments are the best!
Sounds dope, a must have
The next Komplete that releases will be like Christmas. If this is all in collectors including all other new releases it will be a no brainer.
Facts!!
are you sure? based in the last years, I would think next Komplete will come end 2024: K13 2020, K14 2022...
@@korkenknopfus Pretty sure he means it will feel like christmas with lots of presents
Yeah, I was like "that's far too soon for a new Komplete b.....oh wait they meant *LIKE* Christmas. Right. Fair"
@@simonjanssen4339 yes, my reading of "like Christmas time" was colloquial "like more or less for Christmas time".
This couldn't have come at a better time... I was looking at some other products, but this demo sold me on NI Session Percussionist and it's now a part of my musical arsenal!
Yeah sharine doesn't look as good as this although it is probably it's main competitor
@@happyshadow dude sharine is shakers and tambourines only. its not in any way a competitor.
This truly a whole new level. Was loving my XLN audio's XO in peace now I am restless. I want this too. This different from anything I have heard or had
Amazing 🔥
Looks great!
You regained my trust NI. 👌🏻
Brilliant.. this is next level of AI. This feels like all my existing percussion plugins combined and given God level intelligence and a universe of rich samples.. Mic options, Spatial audio customizations... this plugin doesn't even need a mixer channel or other FX.. in LOVE NI.
That's high praise! Thank you 💛
@@NativeInstruments Huuu... where's the AI in this ? To me it looks like it's just a new midi editing interface with good samples. There's no AI in this.
Please see the intelligent groove programming part at 00:50 😎
@@NativeInstruments Huuu... that's still not AI, but a search engine. Not unlike what Toontrack is doing on their EzDrummer plugin.
Not saying it's bad, it's actually super useful ! It's just not AI that's all.
Whouah 😮bravo NI, this one is a Great one 👏👌
Really nice! I think this is about as capable a 'virtual drummer' I've seen.
This is the best thing I've ever seen, but I still miss the ability to drag loops into the project tracks.
anyway , Native Instruments will forever be my first choice.
love the fact that you are trying something new .....
Incredible!
this is a masterpiece. just awesome!
Amazing work NI ❤
Thank you 💛
Aw, the heck with it, I dig the sound and the editing features. I’m getting it anyway. 🎹♥️
Great plugin , thanks NI 💚♥️
I was sold in probably 20 seconds. It reminded me of UVI Percussion Factory but I knew I would be more impressed. When I see something this intelligent or useful to me, I always want it to be secret to me. I think. "NOOOO, not NI! Everyone will have this!" Yes, I' m selfish like that. :D
Your secret is safe with us 😉
This is literally a Full daw... Amazing
Just on time Native Just on time. 🏄♂️🏄♂️🏄♂️🏄♂️💥💥💥💥 spot on.
Ayyye
I would definitely like to see an electric percussion in the future in the same way
I love this
Brilliant !
REALLY awesome company to the session guitar series...
Any plan of a session pianist / session mandolin in future ? 😎
They already have like 28 different piano plugins lol
Fantastic instrument. No midi output is a huge negative. Please make midi out possible in an update.
Now this is what i need x
NICE!!!!!
The Kontakt library I knew I ALWAYS wanted! 🔥💥
🙌😇
Can't wait for Session Drummer - HOLY SHIIIIIIIIZ it's going to be amazing, trust me! Tell Superior Drummer or EZ Drummer to go fly a kite.
Fire!!!
NI, you gotta release complete 15 this year. Guitar rig 7 and all the other great tools. 🤗
Liking this!
Wow!! Session Electronist please
amazing
❤ Please make Expansion Packs with DARBUKA .... 🙏🏾❤🔥
Awesome I have it 😍
I love me some NI, and I really wanted to love this but the lack of drag and drop is almost a deal breaker for me. Now y’all know that should’ve been there from jump street. It might be a bit cooler not to release things before they’re komplete, with the promise of we’ll fix/finish that in a future update. 🎹♥️
🔥🔥🔥
No 🧢.... This might be a top 5 product from native. Me saying this is a lot because i really hate how expensive they are but this is actually worth it.
Just bought it
oooops they nailed it again
This is a nice, unique plugin. I love percussions, curious about the price.
I may just stick with my shimmer shake strike for now. Still trying to decide if it’s worth the fiddling about. 🎹♥️
This looks great. Does NI offer anything like this for drum patterns? This is sort of what I wish Battery were wrapped in.
I’m 100% behind you on a drum pattern version. I think concrete breaks is similar but not as complex, check out those videos
Soniccouture Sun Drums; Blanks; and Moon kits. Not exactly the same, but deep editing and randomization engine.
I would recommand looking at Toontrack's EzDrummer suite. You get good drum sample but most importantly their midi libraries.
They are pricey but honestly worth it.
You can for instance grab the kick and snare pattern of one midi track in EzDrummer and put it to the battery track. Then do the same for a hihat or toms later based on anoter pattern.
Have you tried out XO by xln audio? It’s incredible!!
I have all of the Soniccouture sets and they're fantastic, my go-to. This is nice too though. @@mjrisinsd6836
😍😍😍
Plugin looks incredible, reminiscent of skaka but supped up! However the plugin price… £50 would definitely be a better price point.
I have some money and disk space lying around, soooooo....
Literalllly
Fix your room acoustic first
Can I drag MIDI notes to my Logic Pro instrument track ? Thank you
Just what I need! Hey, is it too new to be on a Black Friday Deal, I am a bit broke just now? 🤗
Midi drag and drop please
The percussion sounds are amazing. I have a number of MIDI files with percussion tracks, is it possible to use Session Percussionist with those tracks? If so, what are the instrument patch numbers?
Hi there, it's not possible to load MIDI sequences into Kontakt.
@@NativeInstruments - I guess my question wasn't understood. I have many other VSTs that work with Kontakt 7 and understand how to use them. I am NOT trying to import MIDI files into Session Percussionists. I was looking on how to assign MIDI notes to have the VST play the percussion. Just like I would select a trumpet sound via MIDI and Kontakt would play the trumpet. No need for any further replies, I have figured it out. Thank you for the reply though.
If and when I decide to upgrade to Kontakt 7 I'm certainly buying
Session Percussionist.
I just checked and it works with the free Kontakt player (I think all NI's own Kontakt libraries do)
@@Jim_Thomas_Draper As a matter of fact I do also have the Player version of Kontakt 7 in addition to the full paid version of Kontakt 6. Maybe if I want to buy the newer Native Instruments libraries I could use those in the Player version of Kontakt 7. Thanks.
@@LittleRichard1988 No problem 🙂 I've had to do that a few times in the past with previous versions, but each time I forget it's an option!
Confirming that Session Percussionist works with Kontakt 7 Player: bit.ly/45HLm5q ✌️
sounds great, and great features....very cool stuff! hopefully some changes that could be implemented down the line are different time signatures and the ability to extract midi so it can be put on a DAW instrument track. easier to work(for me, and others) if you can see the midi in relation to the song form rather than within a separate entity(plug in or other software/apps)
Hi there, you can modify the time signature using the grid strip. Please see the manual for more details: bit.ly/3FV4NgA
I bought it and I love it. But i'm using it to score a video and I having the posibility to drag midi to the piano roll in my daw would surely be beneficial. Do you think you can add that feature in an update?
Glad to hear you're loving Session Percussionist. Many thanks for the feedback!
Any plans to make Session Banjo? You could make two different versions-3 finger and clawhammer. I'd buy it right away and I play banjo haha
@afrojack this would be crazy for my afro house tracks.Top notch
Listening to this on my phone speakers across UA-cam sounds terrible but on my studio monitors I'm sure it sounds awesome. About the only thing NI left out was the ability to take a pattern from a different plugin like "Middle East" and drop it into this one and change all the instruments. I was shocked when I went back to look at the sticker price of only $99 US. I was expecting more like $299 US.
This is amazing, just bought it, but can't find any options for compound time signatures??
Example: Let's say you want an alternating 7/8 and 3/4 signature. Then for all 25 pattern keys, you set the right locator from position 32 to position 26, because 7/8 + 3/4 = 14/16 + 12/16 = 26/16 = 26 sixteenth notes total pattern length. Then after two bars, the next onset will be in sync again. Then you might also want to select all positions 17 to 32, and then ALT+click the 15th step in the step strip (with the circles) to shift the beginning of the original second bar to the beginning of the new second bar. Now, each bar (7/8 and 3/4) has its original onset note events from the original patterns.
sweet
Why can't i find any kind of instrument list anywhere? Nothing in the manual. Or are they just the ones featured in the images of the 16 categories, just different versions?
Those are the 16 instrument types, yes. But there are different models per instrument type, so for example, different shakers, cajons and so on.
Can I get a Flexatone from N.I. please and thank you.
How did you move the Session Percussionist groove into your DAW track? Somehow I'm not seeing how I can drag it or copy into a PT track. Appreciate any tips.
Is this possible? Would love an answer to this. Would be great if you could drag the patterns onto a MIDI track
@@evanseesredthe work-around I did was to bus and record a stem for each instrument in a stereo audio track...
@@lowlylight ah I was thinking of dragging the midi information, but that’s a good workaround for audio
Each pattern has its own MIDI key that you can trigger it with. For example: Player 1, pattern 1 = C1. Player 5, pattern 3 = D5 etc.
@@experience_music but what if you want to put that pattern on another track with another plugin? Is that possible? All I see being recorded is me hitting and holding these keys (c1, c2 etc)
Will Session Percussionist be in your 50% off Cyber sell? And does it work with the free player?
Hi there, Session Percussionist is not part of the sale. And it works with the free Kontakt 7 Player. ✌️
I want a stylus remix like session drummer. Would be dope
So you can’t drag snd drop the patterns as midi into your daw.. how are you supposed to edit and arrange this in a track ?
Hi there, you can use the Pattern Editor to modify the patterns. They are available in MIDI tracks in your DAW.
NI, I need your help. I bought a licence of session percusionist a week ago. But something is wrong with Native Acces. It says the sofware is installed. But it's no where to be found. It's the first time I encounter this issue with your product. Could someone help please?
I'm a percussion VI junkie, and this looks DAMN fine, but I don't see a list of instruments in the manual
Hi! You can find a list of all instruments in the manual now.
Ahhhhh we all were waiting! Afro house community will get on it for sure! hahahahaah
Can the samples be loaded into this plugin?
1:34 feel like if the Cuba Kontact instrument were Quick Grits.
came real close to buying this, but looked at the manual and there's no mention of time signature other than to point out the grid is two bars of 4/4. One could probably use the 8th note pentuplets and effect some 5, crossing the bar etc but this limitation is too hard for me.
The manual have a section about editing the grid. It have the following note, does it help?:
"The available step lengths are: triplet 8th note, 16th note (default length), triplet 16th note, 32th note, quintuplet 8th note, and septuplet 8th note."
You can shorten any pattern to the part you need. So if you shorten a 2 bar pattern by 3 quarter notes, you'll get a 5/4 bar pattern.
(Edit: Spelling)
@@mattiasboden2329 No, because that's independent of time signature lol - personally, idc - most music is in 4/4 but I still find it odd that they don't have that feature...
@@who_is_dis ok understood
Any time signature is possible, for example 5/8th, 7/8th, 3/4, 11/16th, anything you could think of: Example 1: 7/8th signature: Use the default 16th grid and move the right locator from its default 32nd (=8*4) step to the 28th (=7*4) step. If you do this for all 25 players' keys, then your whole ensemble will play in the 7/8th signature. Example 2: Let's create a ternary 3/4 signature, each quarter divided by three 8th note triplets: In this case, set the fundamental grid to 8th note triplets and move the right locator from its default 24th (=8*3) step to the 18th (=6*3) step.
how to get midi of the perc loop on my daw???
😏... 🎶 KOMPLETE 15 🎶
Question please, does it have Guiro?
Guiro is available in our Spotlight Collection: Cuba here 👉 bit.ly/3MEJ8gx
@@NativeInstruments found it, thanks!
Is there a way to get/have Indian & Middle Eastern sounds?
If you're looking for Middle Eastern percussion, make sure to check this out: bit.ly/49BGCS8 🙂
How come kontakt still look like it was loaded out of windows 98
Can't decide between this and UVI percussion factory! 😬
I have the UVI version . the editing feature here seems a little more advanced however the UVI allows sample import.
I think the samples here are loops. The uvi version is not . just samples
@@issiewizzie thanks. As I understand there are one shots as well. Actually I think it's all one shots but arranged/played with patterns.
@@issiewizzie UVI does seem to have around 18 more instruments though.. It's a bit hard to compare because I do not find a list exactly which instruments this contains, it just says "58 instruments".
download the manual of the site . It should have the list of all the instruments .@@mattiasboden2329
@@issiewizzie Thanks, although I already checked the manual and it does not have an instrument list.
Will there be a Black Friday price?
Maybe 🤐
How much hard drive spaces does this use?
Please see the download size on this page here: bit.ly/3FV4NgA
Does this come with Komplete?
Hi! Session Percussionist is not included in Komplete 14.
*how to drag and drop loop on a track in reaper?*
Not by dragging, but by recording / drawing the corresponding midi note of one of the 25 pattern keys starting from C1.
@@experience_music yes. but if i want just simply drag groove i need?
Does this have midi pattern export to grid?
Each pattern is triggered by one single midi note and will run automatically as long as that midi note is held. This midi note needs to be drawn by mouse or recorded via keyboard into your DAW. To change the rhythm / pattern note events, you don't change that single midi note, but directly edit the pattern in the pattern editor.
@@experience_music Ok. Thank you for your reply!
Tempo changes? Interesting..
Is this Tempo synct to my host tempo/daw..
Yes, when searching for presets, the patterns in the results list are synced to your DAW’s tempo.
Just great...now i have to buy plugin another amazing plugin...😅
No demo version?
Hey, there's no demo for Session Percussionist, but you can read more about its features and listen to demo tracks on our website: bit.ly/3FV4NgA
Uhoh....Hope UVI's watching....
Can you drag the patterns as midi notes into your daw? Or would it be more efficient to create the patterns in the plugin, and hold down one midi note to record those patterns?
Dragging and dropping a pattern into your DAW as a MIDI file is not possible, but you can create patterns right in the plugin using its Pattern Editor.
It would be great if it had an electronic drums version and even a way to put your own samples. Maschine its so outdated, same electronic expansions for years.. put more artists to make new expansions and give this way of drum programming to Maschine.
