Re: [LAU] Recommended near-realistic strings section generator?

2014-05-26 1:30 GMT-03:00, Danni Coy <danni.coy(a)gmail.com>om>: Really? :D That got my hopes up. Does the free Kontakt 5 Player also work under Wine? There's this violin sample library that I'm interested for quite a while now: http://embertone.com/instruments/friedlanderviolin.php It is a solo violin library, but it also has an "ensemble" mode. I really liked the sound... But It runs on Kontakt Player. I googled about Kontakt 5 Player on Linux/Wine and didn't find anything useful. Also, from what I understood from some reading, it seems to use a software called Continuata for watermarking and downloading the library. I've never heard of it before - I'm a beginner in the area of (proprietary) sample libraries -, but from the forum posts I read, it seems to require the user to install a "Continuata utility program" that downloads and extracts the library. The posts I read were this one: http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=5448245 and the one directly below it. But I googled about it too, and found a post about someone downloading (not specifically this sample library) normally via the browser without using the Continuata thing. http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=376934 Does that mean it isn't required, and only the developers need to use it to watermark/upload or something? If it's really required, any idea if that works under Wine? The library is on sale right now, costing $99 USD until June 15th (before, it was $110), and I'm seriously considering buying it. I just would like some confirmation if it can work under Wine, even if JACK doesn't work and I have to use an external hardware recorder to capture the speaker outputs or something. :P Thank you to anyone that chimes in! :) -- ____________________ Blog: http://aiyumi.warpstar.net/
