Thanks a lot for the kind words and feedback! Very awesome to hear it, and I hope you're enjoying Fairview so far.

With Fairview, you can only load a single one shot for kick and a single one shot for snare. We've considered adding this feature in future kits, but not sure yet. The next library will be the same as Fairview, but we're adding the ability to also load tom one shot hits.

We're actually working on this right now for our next library. It's definitely a bit tricky getting aftertouch working how it should, but I'd like to sort this out if we can. The new library, which will hopefully be released in a month or two, has much more dynamics compared to Fairview. So it feels better to play on an e-kit already. However, I'm just trying to fine-tune the small details, aftertouch included. We do have cymbal mutes available within the instrument now. Just need to test more.

@@rsdrumsofficial amazing, I'll be keeping an eye out for Monarch 100% - fantastic to now know a timeline. Just for context I emailed you guys a few weeks ago. Great customer support by the way! I emailed a bunch of other drum librarys makers and yours was one of the few that seemed to understand my query and let me know its being implemented for future releases.

Thanks a lot for the feedback! We'd definitely love to add more Meinl cymbals. We have some exciting combinations coming up in the next kit that we hope people will like. \m/

Yes, you'll be able to download and install any Kontakt libraries onto an external drive and run them. You'll need to change the content location settings in your preferences for Native Access prior to downloading/installing Fairview. Select the content location to be onto your external drive.

@@rsdrumsofficialthanks so much

Thanks a lot for the great feedback! We really appreciate it. There will be a few different cymbal options on the next kit, in specific, a normal crash and a trash crash on the far left. We're also trying to figure out if we can add multi-out routing on the Sub Mixer, so you can do exactly what you described and route individual microphones. It'll bypass any internal bus processing we have for the mix presets if you route from here, but we figured that anyone who wants to route individual mic's will most likely have a different workflow anyways that doesn't rely on the mix presets. Hopefully the next kit accomplishes what you're looking for. \m/

Thanks a lot Ehsan! Happy to hear you liked that new addition. \m/

Thanks for much for the kind words! This really means a lot, and I'm really happy to hear you're liking the instrument so far. Please feel free to let me know if you have any feedback or features you'd like to see in the next instrument.

Thanks a lot for the feedback! Really happy to hear it. \m/

Thanks a lot Brian! Hope all is well, and thanks for the feedback.

Thanks a lot Brian! \m/

They come with both versions. If you purchase and install Fairview you now, you'll be downloading and installing the most recent version available. So you'll be all good to go. \m/

i agree man, im honestly surprised there havent been more libraries featuring the starclassic as its such an amazing sounding kit, and all the built-in processing in this plugin is absolutely outstanding. great work guys!

Thanks so much for the kind words and feedback on this. Really makes me happy to hear it. If either of you have any feedback for the next instrument, please feel free to let me know. It'll be fairly similar to Fairview in functionality, with some minor differences.

@@rsdrumsofficial I'm very excited to see what's new

Thank you! Unfortunately, not at the moment. Maybe in the future when we've grown a bit more.

We can't take any credit. Ryan Wood was the brains behind the heavies. \m/

Paralax template? We never released any templates on our end for Fairview. Maybe some guitarists have.

@@rsdrumsofficial i could have swore I saw one when this was released. Maybe another video

Unfortunately, we don't have any mix or routing templates available, but we'll be adding some to our site eventually.

@@rsdrumsofficial one with plini plugin would be killer. Im working on one

Thanks so much for the kind words. Really great to hear this feedback. Hope you enjoy Fairview and get some good use from it! \m/

Thanks so much for the kind words. We're excited about the next instrument we're working on, and we hope it delivers. GGD makes some really amazing sounding kits. We're just trying to do our own thing as much as possible. \m/

Thanks a lot!

I copped the tci bundle 👊

@@ErikAnders Thanks for the support Erik! Really appreciate it.

yeah highlight of the whole kit!

Thanks a lot for the additional tip! This is great. \m/

This is something we need to release (hopefully) as an update. It's been brought up a few times now, and we definitely want to make e-kit compatibility more of a focus moving forward.

@@rsdrumsofficial Indeed, and to be honest, judging by your samples quality, this vst would be on another level. One of the reasons me and other colleagues in the music industry stopped using GGD and turned to toontrack was the midi aftertouch thing (and Kontakt of course haha). I don't get how a company like GGD can't invest on a standalone engine and effectivel immediately solve the cymbal choke limitations, while users come up with custom scripts and code to resolve this issue. Anyway, I 'll stop rumbling now, I love both of you guys and I really trust your tastes and work ethic. P.s. I am also a Travis Orbin disciple (actually met him in Greece and had a lesson with him haha)! xD :P

​@@kutsunnee Are you me? aha. I emailed RS this exact question yesterday. They replied really fast - so kudos to them. They are the only company I've emailed so far that has given me a response that shows they understand what my question is and why I'm asking it. I would be so hyped for a standalone vst like the fairview kit with aftertouch and really good ekit integration. For me Ezdrummer3 basic has worked out the box the best functionality wise in this price range *ish* But GGD /Mixwave /RS just sound so much better. Also where do I find these customs scripts? aha

Would be great to pursue in the future. For now, it's available for Kontakt and Kontakt Player.

Drew did a great job with his mix preset. \m/

@@rsdrumsofficial oops I bought it

Thank you!

@@rsdrumsofficial maybe it will be my next drum library

The groove player in Fairview (along with other Kontakt drum instruments) will read a general MIDI mapping. You can convert the MIDI from Guitar Pro to general MIDI, and the groove player will be able to read/assign the articulations properly. Another option is to change the MIDI assignments in the 'Settings' page of Fairview to match the Guitar Pro mapping, and you can save that custom mapping for future use as well. This will allow you to drag the MIDI from Guitar Pro straight into your session. And yes, you can tweak the velocity within your DAW. Hope this is helpful.

@@rsdrumsofficial Thanks for the explanation! Just purchased it. looking forward to trying it out.

@@Ranbrid Thanks a lot! We hope you like the instrument, and please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions! We just updated the product page on our website that lists all of the cymbals and drums we sampled. We definitely do plan on releasing a video that walks through the entire instrument, which will hopefully be out in the next few weeks. As for Enso vs Fairview, Enso does have a lot more options, however, Fairview is definitely much easier to use and way more mix ready. Enso was a big learning curve for us, and as difficult as it is to admit, we weren't thrilled on the final outcome. I think we tried to reinvent the wheel with the UI for Enso, and a lot of the focus on sound/usability was lost along the way because of this. So we're treating it as a 'sample pack' that comes in the form of TCI's for Slate trigger along with a Kontakt instrument. This is also why we've priced it so low. Alex and I have improved a lot with engineering and sampling drums, and we gained a lot of perspective on what people seem to prefer. Fairview is a much (much much) better representation of that growth. Even further, all of the feedback we've been getting on Fairview has been incredibly helpful as we plan to make another drum instrument in the future. I definitely want to cover more of this in a video, just to shed some light on the entire process. Lastly, that would honestly be amazing if we could create something like that, but it would definitely take a lot of budget that we just don't have. We absolutely want to make things as easy as possible for anyone interested in what we create. So that will definitely be one of our main focuses. Unfortunately, a large scale integration like that is just too expensive for how small we are (Alex and myself - Anup). But, it is an amazing idea, and we would totally be about it if it was financially realistic for us. If you're interested in hearing how Fairview sounds out-of-the-box, I just posted this video on our channel that compares the 4 mix presets available. The only processing is a limiter (-5 dB), otherwise no mixing/processing/routing/etc. Fairview also has a 'Boost' knob, where you can essentially lower our internal bus processing. If set to 0%, people can work with a much more raw/natural sample. I'll be posting a video this week that shows the difference with the Boost knob set to 100% and 0%. Thanks again for the comment and great suggestions. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7SnopSe2N-ncmw.html

We're currently working on a few clips for our social media channels to demonstrate the mix presets out of the box. If you'd like to check out the Default Mix 1 preset, all of the grooves on our SoundCloud page are fairly 'out-of-the-box'. Just a parallel compression bus and limiter. No other samples/processing. Link is below. soundcloud.com/rsdrums/sets/rock-metal-pack-vol-1

We just released another video on our channel (link below) demonstrating the 4 mix presets without any mixing/processing. Check it out here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7SnopSe2N-ncmw.html

Thank you! We hope you enjoy it and put it to good use. \m/
