My journey into LORES was really special, I just wanted to add some info on the library here. • CONTENT: LORES features ALL NEW recordings, so nothing is recycled from other Evolution Series titles, which is a wonderful aspect as you are getting new textures and performances. • LIBRARY SIZE: The size of the library reflects additional mic positions that have been recorded. You have access to them through the STAGE CONTROL for each of the three main sounds, which give you DISTANCE as well as PAN. Again, thanks everyone for your amazing support.
My goodness. You are a treasure on this earth Simeon. That piece “Hope Will Rise From The Ashes” is a gift from you to all of us. Thank you for all you do. Wow.
GMusic, how kind of you. I cherish moments like these where I am totally surprised by where a library takes me. Thanks so much for watching and again for your kind encouragement. Joyfully! 🎹
Turning a simple presentation of a vst instrument into a deep emotional experience, that is touching deeply my soul !!! Man you're so gifted !!! Lots of ADMIRATION and RESPECT from Greece ...
It is my pleasure, and I agree, LORES is a major achievement in that its beauty comes from all of the gifted musicians, and the gift Anthony and his team have in capturing their moving performances. Thanks as always for the kind support. Joyfully!🎹
Hi Simeon. Just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of praise for your transcendent improvisation during this LORES presentation. While the words you sang were lovely, the music itself spoke most directly to me, as it so often does. I spent four and a half decades in the church - often in leadership roles, and though we went our separate ways a few years ago, I still have great respect for those who embrace their faith with passion and grace. Your welcoming spirit matters. Thanks for all you do.
Stephen, your kind words of encouragement mean so much and are greatly appreciated. It is a little intimidating to put yourself out there but the joy that comes in moments like these are so worth taking those risks. Thank you again and I look forward to seeing you on future videos. Joyfully!🎹
i thought i came here for a review.. and ended up having a spiritual moment ... awesome... this is what music is about to touch the soul....bless you man
Thank you brother..l came here to know about „Lores“ but l ended up with a smile in my soul.. and a spiritual moment..and will get the Library with Kontakt 14 crossgrade 🤗 Let us do a „Simeon Voice & Piano Compilation“
Wow. You are an amazing person. Your talent is insane. The chords with the vocal preset at 16:16 sound so beautiful. Also your singing at 54:10 really touched me. I'm 19 years old and when I'm your age, I hope that I'm still making music like you and hopefully I'm also as good as you when it comes to playing piano and finding the right chords :)
WOW!! You really sellled me this product! Although when u sang, you bring me to another world. Your amazing xd I thought you were from a disney movie lmao blessed you!
Del, that is so kind. I look at every instrument that I feature on the channel like a ticket or even a vehicle that transports us into these amazing sound worlds if you will. I turn the key and the sounds I hear and experience guide me to where they want to go, it is very surreal at times. I am so grateful to have the opportunities to experience music in this way. Thanks again for watching and the meaningful support. Joyfully!🎹
Thanks for the in-depth video. Was hard to wrap my head around exactly what they did but your video really shows Lores. When you played the bass and cello together I think I was sold at hat moment.
Was looking at the black friday NI deals and saw LORES. Found this. The joy of you just improving at the end and having pure fun was just gave me a smile. I'm immediately buying this and linking Spitfire Original Grand or Noire with LORES and just play around. Truly inspirational man. Great job
Fantastic video, learned more about litres than with any other video so far. And your joy is so inspiring. Just wanted to let you know. Thanks for the effort of creating this
It is my pleasure. I find doing these live open the door to some very beautiful unexpected and special moments. Thanks so much for your support and encouragement. Joyfully!🎹
Bren, it is my pleasure. LORES, is something special as Anthony and his team really put a lot of themselves into putting it together. Thanks for watching. Joyfully!
@@PraiseTracks Well I will be right there, when you do brother, that is why Love this channel , I like the instruments and I know that you truly have a heart for GOD
My pleasure Chris. LORES makes it so easy to get inspired due to the way it was put together. Anthony and his team have something special and love to take us on these instrumental explorations.
Lores is my favourite new instrument in Komplete 14 Ultimate Collector's Edition. Unfortunately the upgrade to 14UCE from my 12S is a lot more monies than buying Lores for € 199.Or somewhere between € 98 and that whenever NI feels like discounting instruments. Oh, and I know I get much more than Lores alone. But Omnia and Piano Colours? Not as interested. But okay, there's also Arkhis, which I desperately want. The third reason is probably Cremona Quartet and with that Lores + Arkhis + CQ is more monies than my upgrade during Summer of Sound. Can't wait until june....
That Lores combination with Soft Imperial chord progression was absolutely mesmerizing... they go so well together, wow. Did you have a chord progression in mind before starting it or did Lores just move you there, so to speak? I wrote all the chords down so I'm gonna try to analyze what you played, your playing is amazing, thank you so much for this demo.
Dee, it is my pleasure. On all of my Joyful Journeys with the various titles, I as you say, let the instrument take me along for the ride, LORES in particular has such a beautiful way about it that transports you to some amazing places. Thanks so much for watching and your very kind words of support. Joyfully!
@@PraiseTracks It's an incredibly wonderful and emotional thing to witness, your understanding of the instrument, chord progressions and your ability to convey emotion through the music you play really touched me. I think I need this library now! Hahah
Honestly, I did not feel that it was hitting the CPU hard at all. The thing that really throttles a CPU in Kontakt are heavy convolutions, granular, and “particle” types of effects, LORES main focus is presenting the authentic recordings of the performers which stand strong on their own. You do have some basic reverb and such but the golden ticket is in how well everything was recorded. The size of the library is due to having the multiple microphone perspective that is wrapped in the stage control. I will see if I can get some solid CPU numbers though so stay tuned.
I don’t think so, the sound sources are these wonderful evolving textures. I found myself being surprised when I would not move away from a note too quickly as there was always something that happened deep in the playback. Those types of things give these sounds life and motion, especially when paired with the other instruments and textures, they sort of play off and intertwine with each other.
Robym, the instruments are multi sampled so the ranges are not stretched unnecessarily. It is a lovely package that was produced with a lot of heart and thought behind it in the recording and sampling process. Thanks so much for watching. Joyfully!🎹
Hi, great video! You are playing good! Is there any possibility to connect that expression knob in the plug in to my akai mpk 261 midi keyboard? I only got a pitch wheel and mod wheel, but no expression wheel. i would like to route that knob to one of these many knobs / faders on the integrated mixer part on my midi keyboard. I had no luck with that idea and i try to find a way since hours
For sure. Expression is MIDI CC11 but you might be able to right click on the control you want to assign and select MIDI LEARN CC, then touch the physical control on your keyboard to assign it. You could also get an expression pedal and connect it to your keyboard’s expression pedal jack. This way you could control expression with the foot controller and have your hands free to play and control the dynamics (modwheel) for instance. One thing I could see might be a problem is having the controller all the way over to the right hand side which could be awkward. Thanks for watching.
i found out in lores now how to map th expression wheel to any fader or knob on my midi keyboard. but unfortunately i found that it isnt possible to load an articulation to an empty slot in a instrument and to play it / route it to a individual setting of expression. also it isnt possible to create a whole new folder with individual presets. it still gives me huge riddles
Yes, the way that some KONTAKT libraries are put together might limit the ability to assign MIDI controllers. I will have to see if I can take a look into this further. I always say, never give up ;^) Stay tuned.
Sounds incredible, and your playing is beautiful. But there seems so much movement and progression (phrasing) baked into much of it that I wonder how useful it is outside of very narrow parameters. I suppose it'd work if one composes TO the particular presets, or cut short the sutain before the )as you call them) surprises ;)
Then you busted out 'Enlightened'...and then the piano combo. A composition course in a few minutes....And. Then. You. Sang Lovely voice, man. Reminiscent of Neil Diamond :) Anyway...The library definitely offers more options than i thought at the start.
...and there it is ;^) Yes LORES has so much more than meets the eyes (ears), it takes a little bit to wrap your head around what it is doing but the thought and care that went into capturing these performances makes it really stand out. Thanks so much for the kind feedback and I am glad you enjoyed taking the journey along with me. Joyfully! 🎹
Wow this sounds awesome. Thank you very much sir!!! It says 72 GB but only 300+ Presets. It makes me wonder why it is so loaded for the low amount of presets. Very interesting.
The reason for the size is that for each instrument source there are multiple mic perspectives. The Stage control for each layer allows you to mix between close and far as well as panning. Thanks so much for watching.
I put this system together at the beginning of 2020. It is based on the Intel i9 9900k, 64gb of Ram. I also have overclocked it to 5ghz on all cores. Here is a video I put together that gives a little behind the scenes of my putting this together: New Year, New Computer; "The Build" v2020 ua-cam.com/video/ex5s7oGVd9A/v-deo.html
Here is the latest update as I recently replaced the case and went to an ALL IN ONE liquid cooling system. Check it out here: Return Of The Build Featuring be quiet! | Spring Refresh 2020 ua-cam.com/video/pgziNrM3oSA/v-deo.html
@@PraiseTracks Thank you Simeon. So, It's not a laptop. Do you think an i5 laptop with 8Gb RAM and 256Gb storage good for music production? Or this is an AMD version of that laptop, I am planning on buying. Thanks Again!
I so love your enthousiasm and clear explanation! Thank you! How do you combine piano with Lores at 47:07? Would I need a special keyboard for that? Or is it special software? I would be glad if you explained, I’m kind of a noob, just started with midi instruments.
Hello Liesbet. What I was doing there was linking two MIDI tracks together, one containing LORES and the other the VSL Soft Imperial. This is a feature of the DAW software I am using, and most also have a similar feature. You are echoing the incoming MIDI information from my keyboard controller and sending it to both track at the same time. Thanks so much for your kind words and support and I hope that this was helpful. Stay Joyful!🎹
@@PraiseTracks thank you for your reply Simeon! So you’re playing two midi instruments on your keyboard at the same time with settings in your DAW? I’m using GarageBand at the moment (thinking of expanding to Logic in the future). Would you happen to know where I can find info on how to do this in GB and or Logic? I tried googling but don’t get the right answer probably because I’m not asking the right question 😅
I really love this LORES! Seems very user friendly. It seems to me excellent for making cinematic music. I want to produce very soft ambient pads, do you maybe have tips or know other software for Mac for this purpose which is simple and user friendly?
I am not familiar with ARKHIS but on the surface they are two different types of libraries, LORES seeks to capture the world instrument sound in a special way, and ARKHIS seems to focus more on creating full orchestral textures and experiences. I would enjoy learning more about it. Thanks for watching. Joyfully!🎹
Well Dirk, this is one instance where Black Friday might not come into play. LORES was released without an introductory price, only the price listed. It might signal a change in pricing policy where they will come up with a price they think is fair for the long term and that will be it. Many companies are moving in that direction as many users who purchase a package at a higher price are sometimes left feeling slighted when a library is marked down an extreme percentage. We will have to wait and see what happens. But I am almost 100% sure that this will be in the next version of Komplete. Thanks so much for watching.
So, just a head up, you might not want to watch the upcoming livestream featuring the companion to LORES; FABLES that was just released about a week or so ago 😎 No, seriously, there is never any type of nefarious notions going on to try and say, hey you have to get this, I am grateful to be able to share what I can to help you discover what might resonate with you and the projects you are working on. I appreciate your kind support.
@@PraiseTracks lol, all good, i enjoy your videos. i just pressed buy on the emergence audio bundle after watching your reviews, and there is a sale on at evolution series so that is going to make another dent in my wallet
It always helps is to let the developers know that you are enjoying the channel and their products as well. Thanks again for the kind support. Joyfully!
KOMPLETE KONTROL and KONTAKT really sucks ! IT HAS TO BE COMPLETELY REBUILD. Endless problems, unable to read tiny fonts., not scalable plugin interface, almost no customization, SUPER ANCIENT TECHNOLOGY from Window-95 Era. Despite of that they want you to pay money for it ? !!! PATHETIC !
My journey into LORES was really special, I just wanted to add some info on the library here. • CONTENT: LORES features ALL NEW recordings, so nothing is recycled from other Evolution Series titles, which is a wonderful aspect as you are getting new textures and performances. • LIBRARY SIZE: The size of the library reflects additional mic positions that have been recorded.

Your musical and emotional investment is palpable. 'In need to write a new track tonight, just me Lores and a box of tissues' :)
passion at its best
ive just brought this baby i love it
youve made my day thank you
It is my pleasure. Anthony and his team are amazing at bringing such beautiful instruments to us. Thanks so much for watching.
Turning a simple presentation of a vst instrument into a deep emotional experience, that is touching deeply my soul !!! Man you're so gifted !!! Lots of ADMIRATION and RESPECT from Greece ...
In my opinion, Lores is the best production ever
for Native Instruments and Evolution Series

I was already concentre and focus by the sounds...but when you started to sing....i was with you. Wow! thank you! Lores is something!

Let us do a „Simeon Voice & Piano Compilation“
The improvised music then is unbelievably beautiful, your voice sounds great!
I was listening to this while working and was blown away by your voice. Lores is amazing but nothing can beat the real thing 😊
This will be the best library of 2022 easily.
Yes, it is so well done on many levels. Thanks so much for watching.
55:30 I love the Mr. Rogers moment. I feel like there could be a Mr. Amburgey show for kids that adults would also watch.
Amen for that Brother, your worship moved me this morning

Oh, and I know I get much more than Lores alone. But Omnia and Piano Colours? Not as interested. But okay, there's also Arkhis, which I desperately want. The third reason is probably Cremona Quartet and with that Lores + Arkhis + CQ is more monies than my upgrade during Summer of Sound. Can't wait until june....

No, seriously, there is never any type of nefarious notions going on to try and say, hey you have to get this, I am grateful to be able to share what I can to help you discover what might resonate with you and the projects you are working on.
I appreciate your kind support.
@@PraiseTracks lol, all good, i enjoy your videos. i just pressed buy on the emergence audio bundle after watching your reviews, and there is a sale on at evolution series so that is going to make another dent in my wallet
It always helps is to let the developers know that you are enjoying the channel and their products as well. Thanks again for the kind support. Joyfully!
KOMPLETE KONTROL and KONTAKT really sucks ! IT HAS TO BE COMPLETELY REBUILD. Endless problems, unable to read tiny fonts., not scalable plugin interface, almost no customization, SUPER ANCIENT TECHNOLOGY from Window-95 Era. Despite of that they want you to pay money for it ? !!! PATHETIC !
