New NI Dubstep/Wonky/Garage Kore Instrument
Posted on: 13.01.2010 by Earl Ancelet
Just got an e-mail from NI announcing Massive Threat.

From the e-mail:

The creator of MASSIVE has developed an instrument packed full of the edgy, dynamic sounds of contemporary electronic music, taking its cue point from the dark, brooding atmosphere and raw, aggressive digitalism of dubstep, wonky and future garage.

Building on MASSIVE's reputation for producing sounds that range from brutal to warm and creamy, MASSIVE THREAT is an essential KORE Instrument for the free KORE 2 PLAYER or KORE 2 that can also be used directly in MASSIVE.
$59 USD

Here is the link.

The activation code comes in an e-mail. When you install KP, the installer prompts for you the code.

I don't use Ableton but my guess is that it would be the same situation that I described for FLS...you get the free Kore Player and load that up as a VST plugin in Ableton. The Kore Player itself is what hosts the sound packs so you can have Massive Threat and the other Kore-compatible soundpacks that are out there installed and ready to go. They've already released two free soundpacks named Compilation Vol.1 and Vol.2.

So, you install KP (which comes with a sample of sounds), install your soundpacks (which will then be accessible through the Kore Player), start Ableton and load up the KP VST to access all of the above sounds.

HTH. Of course, someone please correct me if my steps are out of order in regard to Ableton but I believe it's pretty much the same process across most if not all DAWs.

Yes, get the free Kore Player. It functions as a VST so you should be able to plug it right in to FLS. I do exactly this with the difference being that I use Renoise. Works great plus you can control the Kore Player parameter knobs with good ol' MIDI.

Per the web site, you can use this sound pack with the free Kore 2 Player (which itself can be used as a VST; I do this with Renoise). It can also be used with the full-blown Kore 2 and Massive itself.

I was kicking myself for not buying Massive for $99 during the holidays. Now I'm glad I didn't - this is exactly what I was looking for.

I got this email too, looked to me like it was basically just a big pack of sounds for Massive that you can use in Kore free (but if you dont own massive or kore you cant edit the patches).

i've heard some of them sound recycled/typical.
Chop --slice -- re-arrange.

IM reallyyy stoked for this
massive has been giving me so many problems lately after I updated 1.1.4
randomly crashing ableton and then just recently not working at all whenever I try to edit parameters, all I was using it for was my mid wobble bass so this is awesome
