its super addicting collecting these when the graphics and colors of the interface looks so pretty. they know what theyre doing. its like decorating cigarette packs with bright colors lol
Melodic sounds amazing but I don’t know why that would make you want to buy so much, that’s those kinda of basic chops it’s like sampling a stretch of vocal, the creativity to use again and again isn’t there for that. You can’t make an album using the same vocal again and again that anyone else can exactly copy as well. The other ones that are more synth style offer the creativity to make them your own.
@@cryptocaesar8972 You can make them your own. 😎 Am I going to use them in the same default key as everyone else? No. Am I going to use them in a different genre? Yes. Am I going to use verbatim the whole run? No. Am I going to modulate and transpose them and double them harmonically? Yes probably. I know what you mean with playing chords with these sounds though. The thing is we all approach music differently and for me I will not be using Glaze for RnB so these runs will sound fresh in Afro funk or Jazz for example. ✌️ 👍🏿🎹🎶🎸
Yeah this might be NI's best synth... Jeez. Funny thing earlier this week I was thinking of copping Pharlight because I desperately needed a vocal synth. This just might do it.
I.....I just am at a loss for words...ok here are some words.. AMAZING library and AMAZING playing...i also feel like i should say Amen for some reason
Is this video in 4K? or at least 1080p? It's stuck on "processing HD" in the youtube backend. If someone could let me know that would be great as it's in 4K for me here. Anyways, hope you enjoy the video and sounds!
I saw this morning the add for this play series...and first thing I thought "I bet Stefan is gonna have a video out on this!" :) You don't disappoint bruv!!
awesome review thanks so much - im way behind on getting back into my music, distracted due to needing to keep the lights on and doing photo and video work - by the way your controller looks like 32 mini keyboard not the 49 keys listed - thanks again!
@@stefanguy thanks for confirming and I am interessted as although I have a decent 49 key samson midi keyboard, it gets in the way due to size and I been looking for something small to have on table but must have nice keboard action and consistent velocity - i dont have anything Kontakt system wise but wondered about that keyboard or if you may suggest others like korg microkey
You had me at #Melodic!!!!! 😍🎶🤩 The runnnnssss/rifffffffffsss!!! Great video bro bro! I hope people are watching these ads to show appreciation! Bless!!! 🎹💙🖖🏾
Nice review:) Big shout out for your call on the generic R&B harmonies. Shows you got spectrum and suss. Great that you pointed that out for all those people watching/listening coming from a different angle. Kudos!
Komplete 14 is coming soon???!!! I like this one. Might be the best so far. Voices are always useful. I also liked the melodic sounds best. This one makes me want to write some gospel music (especially as Imy voice is the opposite of Sam Cooke's) The Play series is quite good.
Your voice is the opposite of Sam Cooke's loool. I think you're right, it might just be the best so far! Also I'm not sure regarding a new komplete, I haven't heard anything yet.
@@stefanguy Usually towards the end of the year I think. So quite a few months to go. I'd like an interesting (affordable) new Mac as well. I'm stuck on LPX 10.5.1 and can go no further until I upgrade. I'm saving my pennies for both.
Nice eyes Lou.... Didn’t catch those cans. I’ve been drooling over everything Neumann ; the 80’s for my desk, the 402 pre in my rack ect...... Had to compromise when this studio was built during Covid. Obviously Glaze would kill with this gear. So, Stephan,; nice coverage. You have mad keyboard chops as well. Love your chord choices. I’ll order thru your link brother. Can’t wait to see how to apply these sounds to jazz and country.... should be quite interesting......
Flat as a pancake mate. No exaggeration on the bass at all! Very comfortable, I haven't done any tracking with them (well other than me talking in videos like this, into a dynamic mic) but they're well sealed so even next to a condenser I think you'll have next to no spill. But yeah I trust these Neumann's. Lord knows I can't trust my monitors in this untreated room!
@💦RAIN💦 nice eyes indeed haha. Yeah Neumann are synonymous with quality man. And appreciate the kind words man. Jazz and country, that'll be quite interesting indeed, you'll have to send me what you cook up!
@@stefanguy Be honored to run those tracks by you maestro. Honestly think you won’t hear anything from me until around ....uuumm ?Halloween...... cause when I run across any gear with this caliber of depth and beauty, .... I will take whatever time to allow it to ... sink into my pores, then, .... it will tell “ME “..... what architecturally is achievable. And after spending forever failing at the drawing board, .... the accident I stumble upon will end up being... the secret sauce after all....... so yep!... by the time you’re ready for trick or treating... I should be done. ....... again... thanks for sharing your analytical skills and laid back genius with all of us.
Can someone explain to me what Komplete is? Like do i need to buy the program and then buy different Komplete-vst to put them in the program ? How does it work is what i wanna know...
Hey! So Komplete is a collection of native instruments VSTs and plugin effects. Komplete Kontrol is a plugin that lets you access of of the instruments in one place. Though you don't need to use it. The benefit of Komplete Kontrol however is that it provides a filtering system to search for sounds across all of your instruments and provides audio preview for them to allow for quick browsing. Komplete Kontrol also works in tandem with the Komplete Kontrol keyboards, like the one I'm using in this video. Hope that helps.
I hear voice of people I know lol. I endorse NI, so thanks for letting me know about this. I'ma hit them up and get it in my account now. I personally don't immediately see any practical use for long and fast vocal runs in a plugin. But those pads! I'ma need those. And maybe when I get it under my fingers, I'll find a use for a run or two as well.
Hey Rey, be sure to download the free kontakt player too. You’ll find Glaze inside kontakt. If you have komplete kontrol installed, you’ll find it there also
Hi, Great...i missed in the list of your gear the sound effect plugins you are using for this demo. f.e. stereo enhancement etc...The 'native' plugin Glaze standalone hasn't by far not this nice sound you produced. What are you using in the sound chain? Its not a question which vendor, its a question which type of effects.
Hey L W - There’s nothing extra on these sounds at all. I’m literally playing the sounds from Glaze and that’s it. All of the effects are the ones built into the presets.
Hey David, I was actually going to do one but the video was already 40 minutes long lol. Obviously I cut it down but had been filming for awhile! I'll take it into consideration next time though!
I haven't used arcade yet but this is not just vocal chops. The vocalist used in Glaze recorded every note on the keyboard separately to achieve amazing sounding vocal pads which we can play. Arcade is limited in this way so I think they vastly differ. The melodic section is where they are similar but even still Glaze has way more flexibility from what I've seen from hooked.
Literally have a discussion about this on another comment. I haven’t used Arcade but I understand that Hooked has vocal chops. I think where this differs is in its inclusion of pitched samples across the keyboard in the form on pads, leads etc. To my understanding, hooked just plays vocal chops? Or am I wrong? Can you play monophonic and polyphonic sounds as you would play a normal keyboard?
Also…this is one off payment. Arcade is subscription (but it gets other sounds). Also, Arcade has frequent updates. Having said that, I’m not a fan of subscriptions. Lol. I’m on the Arcade trial and using as much as I can until it runs out. “Glaze” is definitely a must have for me!
I was kinda disappointed with Melted Vibes presets, I understand most have a lot of wow & flutter but these ones look alot more promising out of the box.
Hey bro, ah man sorry to hear man. I have Melted Vibes but yet to install it. Let me know what you think of this one if you get it! I think you'll like it man, def my favourite so far.
I haven’t used Arcade you know. Isn’t arcade a subscription with loads of different samples? Not just vocals? And does Arcade have monophonic and polyphonic instruments we can play? i.e notes stretched across the keyboard we can play like a keyboard. Or do all the notes just trigger sample chops?
Yeah it did remind me of arcade but which instrument though. I mean hooked is similar only in vocals chops and reverb..I think the similarity is how much reverb is on the instrument.
Is arcade an instrument though? Can you play samples that are mapped and pitched correctly across the keyboard? The vocal licks in this play series is only one of the features
its super addicting collecting these when the graphics and colors of the interface looks so pretty. they know what theyre doing. its like decorating cigarette packs with bright colors lol
🤣🤣🤣 it's so true. It's so nice to look at my collection - I just need them to make Komplete a higher resolution now!
Lol which other ones you got tho?
Okii i

Im surprised the Play Series is not its own bundle

Here it is!!!
I just know your gonna make a 🔥🔥🔥 beat with this🔥🔥🔥🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾🎶🎶🎶
No doubt 😏
Sounded dope as always man, the R&B production is just amazing... GOAT.
Thank you bro! And no doubt man. Gonna drop some nice rnb chords in the next vid 😉
This is a fantastic demonstration--I just saw Glaze on sale for Black Friday from Native Instruments and I'm gonna pay the $24 for it now :D

Hey Dave, much appreciated man! Hope you enjoy the library of sounds!
Yeah this might be NI's best synth... Jeez. Funny thing earlier this week I was thinking of copping Pharlight because I desperately needed a vocal synth. This just might do it.
Def better than Pharlight! For the R&B genre at least!
Honest review that hits all the right notes. Bought via your link 🎸
Thanks Frank! Appreciate the support brother!

Yes its showing as 4K here
Brilliant, thank you! I was sitting waiting for it to "process" for ages. Seems like it completed but is telling me it hasn't!

Where can I learn some of the chord progressions you’re doing? Thx! ❤
POWERFUL!!!!! 💯🔋
Also that catchphrase ending intonation change! LOL!!! 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good video with a Nice instrument! I’ll buy it through your link! 🎹🎧🦋👍
Thanks Dekranz!! Thanks for the support!
quality review as always ...
Yooo! Thank you! Hope you're good!
Arcade by Output has very similar pre made vocal sample possibilities.
Its not bad.
But everyone has arcade and you hear the vocals get used a lot, that's pushed me away
Nobody wants to pay for a plugin for the rest of their life thats retarded. They are making a killing off yall to rent a vst you could own for 50 more
I hope that this vocal instrument get updates and vocal expansion packs.
I'm not if any play series have in the past but that would be dope!

Thank you man!
Who knew you could be brought to tears by pressing one note 🥲. Just go ahead and drop a 3 min vibe using the voices.
They're beautiful bro!
Awesome video as always rewatched like 100 times 😂, also whats the chord progression for 14:06?
This review is amazing bro 👌🏾🔥
This plugin is a must.
With the m32 controller, can you transpose by semi-tone?
I'd like to see you do a video with examples on using some of these in a production please

This fire! Does the vocal melody correspond to the note you play? Like, if you play C, is the same a C?

Expect the commission too from your link! 🎯💯⛽️🎉🙌🏾🥊
Hey Roney appreciate the support brother! I hope it serves you well!
@@stefanguy I am very well pleased and look forward to making my own presets!
How would you compare glaze to something like exhale? Any advantages over the other?
Exhale is abit too over synthesised.. where I feel these are more natural sounding vocals
Definitely sold me on it bro! 🔥🔥🔥
Do the quick Melodies adjust to specific bpm’s?
thanks you!
I'm sold
🙌🏾 let's go!
Brooo how u like those Neumans? They flat enough? And silent enough for tracking?

Are there only vocal chops in minor scales?
This or Exhale by Output?!
For R&B, this! I've tried to create these types of vocal pads in Exhale and they don't sound as good.
The pad underneath sounds like it's a pitched-down droning voice as well.
