Orchestral Essentials OE2 Walkthrough / Product Demo
Channel: wesboundmusic
Date: 2023-04-07

Due to the incredible discount of up to 50% per package (expired as of April 6th, 2023) I couldn't help but get Project SAM's Orchestral Essentials 2 as well – mainly, because I think that there are some even more sophisticated and supreme sounding articulations contained than OE 1 already provided (link to product walkthrough video OE 1 towards the end of this one). Interestingly, there are also some slight snags, but which Project SAM are aware of and will address in a free maintenance update soon. (and these snags won't be a show stopper, I can assure you. Shoutout to their support, who came back immediately and confirmed that they are aware of the issue/s and are going fix them soon).

Parts of my presentation were already addressed in my OE 1 walkthrough as well, but I kept them in for new visitors, who may not have watched the other video. In addition, I go into some details I didn't address in OE 1 walkthrough, like e.g. setting key switches with visual feedback on the KOMPLETE KONTROL S-88 Masterkeyboardcontroller (LED indicators above keys). Like my other presentation, this is from the viewpoint of loading OE 2 into KOMPLETE KONTROL instead of using the default KONTAKT PLAYER and thus making use of NKS support in both packages.

Hope, you'll get to find something useful in it for yourself.
P.S. Between 10:25 and 13:25 I forgot to switch back to the larger screen, sorry 'bout that (multitasking... some people say it was possible 😂 ; I'll bring it back after, no worries :-) )
