Sample Logic has released The Elements, a 14GB sample library for Kontakt 2.
The library is packed with deadly, ear scraping ambiance to serene melodic choirs; glitched out distorted beats to funky harmonic guitar licks; woofed out basses to spine bending transitional impacts; traditional brass ensembles to psychedelic spirals of exotic colors.
Sample Logic The Elements, powered by Kontakt Player 2
The Elements features
- Over 1700 instruments in 6 intuitive elements
- 456 Ambience patches
- 122 Bass patches
- 138 Harmony patches
- 391 Impacts patches
- 354 Melody patches
- 227 Rhythm patches
- Kontakt Player 2 included (also loads in full Kontakt 2 version)
The Elements is available for Windows and Mac OSX (VST/DXI/AU/RTAS/Stand-alone), and costs $299 USD. You will also receive a $10 USD gift card on any Nine Volt Audio product, and a free 3 month downloadable subscription to Virtual Instruments Magazine.
Visit Sample Logic for more information and audio demos.
Thanks for your support!

It’s an interesting idea for a multi-sample collection, and I’m sure there’s lots of cool useful sounds, but, jeeze, $300? Who buys this stuff? What kind of market is there for these specialized, huge and expensive sample libraries? The perks are an interesting touch – Virtual Instruments Magazine, how was I not aware of this?

I guess it’s intended for people who don’t have many dedicated sample libraries yet…
It’s actually not so different from something like Native Instruments’ KOMPLETE bundles. Great deals, but who really needs all those instruments…

That’s what I’m saying. They keep making these huge sample sets that seem marketed at people who are looking for a one-stop-fits-all (to mix a metaphor) sample library, and I just wonder how many of these buyers there really are. Most people who are going to look at this are users who already have all of these sounds well covered, and are probably more interested in specific instruments. Having to sort through 100s upon 100s of presets, no matter how well organized, is not a great trade-off. So what they’re doing to their customer is making us shell out for the whole friggin’ thing whether we’ll use it or not. And anyone who has been working with sample libraries for awhile will tell you, that you use maybe 40% of them more than a few times and a good 60% once or twice and that’s it. Why not break it up into smaller custom sets and sell them at 40 bucks a whack?

I was a bit skeptical at first but I picked up a copy and must say the demo tracks are jsut a small hint of this massive library, great job Sample Logic!

No matter how you look at it, Sample Logic’s products service a wide audience since they offer variety. I see that as a benefit. I don’t want a one dimensional library, rather, I want a tool that can be used down the stretch. Let’s not forget it’s cheaper than most of the other libraries out there, which sell for closer to $500.00. Who cares what types of libraries these companies make. It’s their prerogative. Obviously there are people who want them otherwise they wouldn’t keep making them.
