All user reviews for the Native Instruments Kore 2

Installation: Disk 2.1 + update 2.1.4 Easy
no problems Important 2.1.4 provides a facility
choose whether you want to keep the "kore engines" or use
Recent plugs NI: absynth, reaktor, massive, FM8 (see the NI website)
No incompatibility except perhaps a few plugs
simple configuration
I would have liked more examples of "workaround" for more configs and possible uses than it seems.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

config i5quad 3.1 to 3.4 GHz 32nm DDR3 1600 4GB low latency dd greencaviar 7500T 1t / m + velociraptor 136g 10000t / m rms fireface800 windows7
Running? Nothing to say
Very stable
Performance? Nickel if not ..... one heart processor used so a kore instance is limited so you have multiple instances for large projects in a DAW or live more dedicated software.
I use Stagelight BloXpander and touch-screen to try to keep the "workflow" intuitive and not making head as standard DAW tend to kill the enthusiasm that we can have with the kore

OVERALL OPINION

I use since 2010 with the kore 1 hardware (I never used the software kore 1 bought in 2006!) I crossgrade to komplete 7
for the 250th + mouth + razor and excellent deep freq and NI offered 3 sound packs and gratis since I had other cool stuff. it is enough if one assumes that the presets are bases for other sounds
I had maschine 1.5 at the same time as the update kore 2
What I do not like in Kore 2? There are more dévelloppement over in komplete ksd (except the kore forum which still exists) and the last of plugs and dynamic effects of SELF OR MALFUNCTION seem to manage presets: (
What I like: architecture, mappings of params saved WITH sound (a revolution compared to any other midi controller!) Morph
(Assign a different setting LFO speed for example on 8 morph positions
and you can play with 8 buttons to move selected LFO speeds) + classic morph parameters of different plugins! ..
save several plugs as a single sound or save the entire kore as a single sound! The audio and midi routing, the live aspect, the effects (not all) midi modules .............
I have enjoyed the sidechain (multiple entries of a managed plugin), new modules, using multiple controllers kore with a focus on different colored modules for each controller, multi thread, new modules even see maschine as Module! ... The kore concept deserved a better end. Perhaps one day resurface

The price / quality ratio seems to me right on the basis of available software and
the kore product

I intend to eventually if I have the budget to buy a kore 2 because if it snaps ..... mine is 7 years old already

Easy installation as the configuration.

The manual is complete and needs to be consulted to properly identify the possibilities of the beast.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Core I5 ​​2500k, 8GB of ram, XP Pro SP3, Presonus FireBox card (4ms latency).

At perf is OK. Of course the more you charge more it draws on the resources of the computer.

Overall very stable: 2-3 crashes in a hundred hours of use.

OVERALL OPINION

The possibilities of sound design are impressive. Can be stacked instruments and sound effects to get very rich, very full and thick.

The controller hardware is a real joy. The automatic assignment of knobs to various parameters of instruments and effects is done automatically. More config midi learn mode automatically sets all.

The possibilities are impressive sound morphing. There is too much material to make live sound.

With experience, I would do this choice.

_ Installation is no problem ... APRS or to a server problem at the moment so there may be a few emails with tech support
_ Pienso Lopard as everything is compatible but not good is the case with many brands
_ Yes it is simplified even more successful
_ The manual is OK (has not that squenceur if you are looking for is in the effects actually lol)

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

MAC Leopard 2gig RAM
_ The software works for me
_ 18% of CPU in standalone
_ The software-hardware configuration is OK

OVERALL OPINION

1 week (lol) but I had a dj Kore and I am using NI Komplete 2 since so I am a customer
The most good, it is clear that in terms of controllers, the RESOLUTION is deadly (well I love) they apparently had technical constraints on the modular aspect of Kontakt, Reaktor ... so there can be purists who can be of ...

Well basically say that standalone versions, you can dgrossir pieces ... but I think there are a lot of possibilities in terms of synthse sound by combining patches with new possibilities of morphing ...

Note also, unlike a Kore there is no management of audio ... (And kore2 and more for just a controller pm) yeah we also sell audio cards must not compete kore ... lol

With exprience, (I did not) I can only say that the finish is better than Kore1, regret the fact that there are more audio, patches are based int esting, the module KoreSound Reaktor is happiness, the quality of controllers is really deadly (I stress once you taste ennerv to touch those of your master keyboard and I korg KONTROL49 and Novation Remote then ...)

In short, for me that makes me ben goes techno matinedtroit serious ... but not put all your eggs in the same basket has seen too ReFX Nexus, hypersonic 2, Arturia Analog Factory 2 ... the wise

For once, the installation went without any problems ... Droulez which had never previously the case t (Owner 'a Komplete 4 and Kore 1)
The service center has clearly amlior t since the latest version.
No incompatibility for the moment.
The manual I t comes with the update I had bought before the end of 2007> 49 instead of 99 with a Kore sound offered Tlcharger ( not yet done)

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

C2Duo E6750, CM P4B, 2GB ram, 2 hard drives (system + documents / library samples)

I have not loaded the Kore with full multi but all instances (individually) do not take me more than% qq qq except Reaktor patches that can get 10 or even 20% but this is exceptional .

The configuration is stable throughout - no crash read simple for now.
on the other hand, in shipping, I had a crash I NI signal without being able to reproduce it. What I found: Technical support is VERY ractif on bug reports (Bcp more than before) against the other, it must also be VERY prcis about these: The config, the system the software version installed and the patches at the time of the crash utiliss ...
But good at the same time, it is not free software as the support is normal.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using only qq nanmoins days, my opinion is highly positive!

I bought two for my Kore Kore 1 interface telling me that it would be the last test before selling off everything (Komplete 4 and Kore 1) due to lack of usability of all, the instability of some soft drinks, the authorization system heavy and not always functional (products refused to allow himself up l.
I Tlcharger updates all of those apps, install sound banks Komplete (download on the site) and I stayed on the ass.

Discoveries I have software (KORE 2) resulted, ergonomic, highly customizable, easily configurable, with a stacking system sounds VERY powerful, morphing a system - absolutely gnial, sailing with the interface review and correct, bcp more intuitive, a search system sounds ultra efficient and again, Fully parameterizable ... Short as the more. This thing that I rconcili NI j'tais about to let go with a vague sense of myself scammed all these years.
But that's not all. The vritable tour de force is to be included in the Kore 2 software engine audio bass on Massive, Kontakt, Absynth and Guitar Rig ... that make the Kore 2 standalone (you do not need to have Komplete) was only 500 patches of bases that can be increased with the Kore sounds. Note, each of 500 patches to 8 variations that are ditable and "morphable" them thanks a clever matrix.
Whereas a number of effects of good quality are also provided. Finally, we have a arpgiateur overkill, a step sequencer Labor and many other things that make the product attractive relement.

With this system, Komplete really becomes more easily exploitable bcp and it was an effective tool spuer when doing sound design or music image if we take a little time to look at the thing.

The report price is unbeatable quality at a price of Kore in hand - if we add the 99 in the Kore 2 update.

Today, if c'tait again: I'll buy one in a Kore occasion j'upgraderais in Kore 2, I'd wait a bit to familiarize myself with all the interface and I would spend a Komplete Surra 2nd time ...

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>- The installation is done it without problem?</span>

oh the other, there is not problem-free installation in NI is that they take a reputable!

Anyway, the update to Kore 2 is going better than version 1! But seems to be trs variable based on user ...

I use it with 4 and Komplte Most recent internship SHIFT Plug (but not Komplte 5 which seems to be problem ...)

I'm just the software version of SHIFT 2 (99 euros) and I use it so the case of a Kore

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...</span>

yes, plutt full PDF in French. And better if no paper manual, a prserve our strengths!

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>- What is performance? (If quantifiable)</span>

It is much longer to load than the version 1. For the rest, some plugs that are too heavy ...

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>- This software + hardware configuration is stable?</span>

When programming the sound or performance, it is possible that a plant.
But once the whole program and calibrated according to the power of the computer is stable (in my case, I try not Exceeds 50/60% of CPU resources to avoid any concerns)
Still, on some sounds, action on the knobs cre peak CPU and therefore good big crachouillis I say not even the ears of the public at the forefront in the head Watts/100m PA 50000 of this dear jacky ...

In short, must prparer his set ... but hey, it is assumed not Live without prep, huh?

OVERALL OPINION

APRS a little tour of the owner I find this version much more successful than version 1. They amlior the concept of not complicate things, however.
While the habitus of a version as I may have to get back into the record, but After a few hours, you will soon feel comfortable!

The main amliorations are in Systm "stacking" of sounds and effects and much amlior trs powerful. There are basic sounds (a plug) that can be combined with other sounds and effects To create a 2nd-level hierarchy. And everything is compilable To create performance, 3rd level.

As a result, a system that was flexible and open trs for sound design and live because you can move from one performance to another stolen, to gradually move the other one's thanks controllers, make several changes more sounds thanks one knob, etc ...

And it all with the features of version 1 as the possibility of dcouper one (or more) keyboard (s) in as many areas as you wish and to assign any sound / performance ( need to set keyboard matre boring!), powerful features twelve o'clock, a complete routing audio trs (with inserts of effects returns, groups), the search engine ranking for sounds / performance / plug (much amlior in version 2), etc ...
and everything is configurable and non-fig!
In short, a beautiful day put me indispensable for those who apprciaient dj the concept of version 1

Last dtail, I have 13,000 sounds in the library + REFERENCE mine I just dplacs of directory and it is possible to keep the install version 1 e paralllement version 2!

10 go anywhere because I find the notes a little STRID!

And for those that have INTERESTED, the record is available in Fanais here ( http://www.electik.com/AF/Kore_2_Manual_French.pdf )

Side installation is rather easily.
Since I installed demo versions of almost all products NI Kore 2 has indexed all patches product demo, and my real Kore 2 patches are lost among hundreds of other useless. Super.

Then we had to authorize the product. The NI Service Center is a good thing, the problem is to download any updates from the site of NI, it takes hours so it's slow. But never mind.

The manual is a strange prose that attempts to explain one worthy of the best French translators legged Hungarian how the plugin never show or screen shots, and using some terms used in the software. It's very fun.

I put 2 for the service center.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

For Mac Intel Core 2 Duo, I'm used to a stable software worthy of a Tibetan monk.

After allowing the product, I realized that I had only KoreSound and no Multisound (the equivalent performance in a multitimbral synth). It is quite surprising because in the demo site, it is clear that one type shows the presets that come with Multisound. I wrote to support, I got a response after 6 weeks told me that I had downloaded the update for Komplete KoreSound (I had not at that time) and I rebuild my disk permissions (I'm on mac). As a good customer, I did all that, I was added in 7500 VSTi presets that I have not, thus causing error messages every time I click on it. In short, I do not know how I can open the other and what I can not.
I reported this to support one month ago and a half, boosted two times, and I'm still waiting for a response. Strangely, I have no access either to support or forum, my account was disabled shortly after these emails. I am yet remained courteous ... not understand.

After all these adventures, and having given up on these great presets Multisound But I paid, I taste the pleasure of the notorious instability of this product. Many projects may refuse to open, for some reason. Sometimes yes, sometimes not. In short, the big foot.

This is unfortunate because this product full of tantalizing possibilities sounds of thunder ... when it works. And attention to the CPU, some patches use 30% of the resource of my Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz! Huge!

I put one for sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

In short, do not buy it, it's really not a good deal.

Thumbs down. Anti creative, unstable, very poor support or no. I am very disappointed.

Installation is simply trs, no incompatibility for the configuration: 1 / 5 and KOMPLETE you you install the KoreSound komplete5 (available on the site NI) and is about 8000 presets KOMPLETE package + KoreSound of KORE 2
2 / You do not KOMPLETE but just the Kore 2 yeah must limit yourself to KoreSound of KORE 2 (logic)
the manual is clear trs

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

IMac and MacBook (with intel 2gig RAM)
Perfectly!
several instances of open kore 2 no pb
trs stable

OVERALL OPINION

7-8 months
Ide is a hardware and software that exacerbates your crativit ... the piano is not the pianist ...
Kore 1 .... Version 2 has nothing to do, more stable, better think ...
quality-price report ... if you KOMPLETE 5 is cool
yes of course I saw KOMPLETE 5 ...

A notice on the hot bundle Kore2/Komplete5.

I was hesitant of the installation saw the messages left on the NI forum
Well in the end not a problem, except my own mistakes.
Better to have an Internet connection on the pc for the Service Center is responsible for updates, registration, especially if you install Komplete 5 with KORE 2.
Otherwise a must be the galre.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

With the power of modern PCs Kore gets really INTERESTED I think we can finally use it.
It is installed on a freshly format Quadcore with 4GB RAM. It STRID Ramone!

Kore2 and patch management fawn NI, with tags, it's terrible.
It changes the 75 subfolders "ranks" in "my music" or j'entrepose 2500 presets and save my bulk.

OVERALL OPINION

Komplete 5 Kore 2 + + 654 for a MIDI keyboard. Forcment I cracked apps because I use NI pirates, some for quite some time, mainly mass kontakt, reaktor elektrik piano and that became my tools force.

So here is a running fire of God and I have made an excellent deal if you have tried:
https://www.novamusik.com/search.aspx?type=Model&keyword=4658&mid=51

It is a modular and scalable, which I find well over a
synth Clavia Modular G2 as it is no need to reinvent forcment the wheel each patch and the possibilities are diffrent ...
Obviously we can from scratch with Reaktor for more calluses.
Or search for sounds by using the tools of Komplete VST and third, the routing of Kore.
If it was just the Kore 2 will be needed with the sounds on offer. The potential changes are still the same to the sauce.

In "sound design" I use all the time really chains of effects in the console squenceur to make sounds, resampler. Here take a another aspect, much more convenient, and everything is recordable and configurable.
The morphing is certainly one of the tent CHARACTERISTICS me the most.
In fact the use is terrible, except that G2 is a relation may have one of each morph "rack" stacked in Kore. Helpful but not forcment, Aeaeae!
At the Kore hardware is an aluminum frame, I thought c'tait plastoc of the pictures so good surprise. The knobs and buttons are not the same quality I feel.
Before I doubted to have a bit of his practice is useful but not really. In two plays on the drivers morph or "racks" be inserted, we walk through the banks.
And my main controllo can use something else during this time l.

It is not given but it's really good for trs trs zicos hackers, enthusiasts synthse etc ...
And others only with some Kore2 soundpacks can be enough someone who wants to play without taking the cabbage. It has never seen as a big final expander, but modern!

For sound, bah I do not see anything that makes adpend of what you do, compared to an analog bah yes formulations often sketch, a compar VA loses it all sonically intr against t ... by some provocation ^ ^
Anyway if this bundle achte we tape this aspect is Designed to make your own sound.

All presets are some of the same taping, the bodies of Absynth program is something a pro ... you stay to hold the note as a dbile and you take the fun listen evolve, and leon
The fx are Intgr Kore2 INTERESTED too, the distortion is not great but there's plenty to do and some good surprises.

Ct bundle of bad is that after so many damn bl in the virtual, that you have privilges on the site of the editor, and you can finally upload photos of your software box in your profile ... As you are born unhealthy hints, ay you're part is, you're a "consumer". It's horrible.

Native Instruments Kore 2 is a high quality sound pack and has a bunch of great presets that can go into your mixes right away. You wont even need to do too much eq to the sounds because they are done by pros that make sure they are ready to go right out of the gate. However there are a few bugs that can give you some crashes when running in Fl Studio and a few other digital audio workstations.


SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Native Instruments Kore 2 worked great on my quad core windows pc. It did eat up a lot of cpu though, but once I downloaded the new ASIO drivers that fixed most of that problem up right away. Native Instruments Kore 2 delivers a great product and even better customer support. You never have to worry about if you lose your boxed version because you can get everything online from the website once you create an account and enter all of the info on your boxed version which you will need to do as soon as you receive your package.


OVERALL OPINION

Overall you couldn’t ask for much more from Native Instruments with the Kore 2. It has everything you need to create with and it runs in almost all software programs that we all use in today’s music world. The price is kind of high, but if you shop around for a while online you will come across a pretty good deal somewhere and get it at a steal. A lot of people are selling these online and I don’t know why, it could be because they don’t want to take the time to learn and understand how to fully get al of the possibilities out of this package. Since I first bought the Native Instruments Kore 2, I have made some changes and upgraded, but still use a lot of the original presets from the Kore 2 pack.

Installation without any worries, easy to configure, no incompatibilities (I use ALL NI) not need a manual, everything is clear.



SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The app runs on a Windows XP PC, Intel Core 2 Duo 8500 3.16GHz, 4GB Ram, ASUS motherboard, Maxtor 500GB (16MB cache) I use Ableton Live for my 8 sets and composed, with a sound card MOTU 828 MK3, it turns the thunder, I did all my patches in Kore 2, the app is a killer!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost 4 months now, I can not do without, already addicted to Reaktor, Absynth or Massive others with Kore 2 there is no limit in editing or morphing sounds.

What I like most: The possibilities of morphing EXCELLENT frankly, the numbers and quality effects, Arpeggiator & Sequencer, the very good quality controller.

Like least: None

Value / quality excellent price, I would do this choice without hesitation.
