Hello,The original Kontakt Factory Libraries from Kontakt 5 are not showing up in Kontakt 7. I don't know if they are suppose to or not, but I cannot find the Violin Solo preset from the Kontakt 5 Library in the Kontakt Factory Library 2. Do I have to use Kontakt 5 in order to get the Violin Solo preset? I would have thought Kontakt 7 would be able to use the Kontakt 5 library presets. 0 Best Answers Quote Reddit ! : The only reason to keep Factory Library 1 installed is if you have projects that use patches in that library.Otherwise, it's 100% Redundant.Everything is the same in Factory Library 2, with the exception of the Legacy VSL Orchestral instruments being replaced with Orchestral Tools Berlin Orchestral instruments.

2025-04-17Continuing the series on my favourite orchestral sample libraries, this week we turn to one of the forgotten areas of the orchestral world, the harp. If you’ve followed the series you’ve probably seen the regular disclaimer I’ve made about what i look for from a sample library but just in case you’re newly tuning in:I look for usability, great sounding recordings, flexibility of sound and how easily my computer will cope with the strains of running the sound library in question.I also focus on the sound of the acoustic in which the samples are recorded, as they give the sound its character.For some context if you are new to this series take a moment to look at Episode One.Because harp libraries focus on that instrument alone, it can often be forgotten when allocating budget for samples and consequently can be overlooked completely - with users relying on inbuilt factory sounds of their DAW, which sells the instrument short.I have tried a number of harp libraries and just to reiterate what I’ve stated in the previous article, the following is NOT an exhaustive list of available options - it’s just what I choose to use, and an explanation of why.Spitfire HarpCineharpsKontakt library Orchestral Harp (from legacy Vienna Symphonic Orchestral sounds (VSL)Bonus mention for Arpeggio (Sonokinetic!!)To give you an idea of the differences between these libraries, here’s a recording of a few bars we’ve composed to show the differences in the sound of each library. Spitfire Harp As with all of the original spitfire products pre 2020 (this product originated in 2015) this is a Kontakt library - which works in either the free Kontakt Player or the full Kontakt instrument.The featured harpist is Skyla Kanga. Skyla is a legendary harpist, who has played for many movies and with whom I’ve had the pleasure of working on a number of occasions.I do like the subtlety of the different articulations. The flageolet (harmonic), which is made by placing the ball of the hand on a string whilst plucking to produce an overtone is beautiful and haunting. The glissandos (glisses) are often the primary
