Cutting-edge technology meets the artistry of sound with THE PULSE. Transforming the art of contemporary electronic scoring into a seamless, futuristic experience, Sonuscore's latest breaks barriers with playability at the speed of inspiration.
I got an early release copy of The Pulse for review consideration and couldn't wait to share my experience checking out this ground shaking instrument!

 

You have my curiosity

 

Ok, so, the idea behind this library is excellent, but the execution is terrible: For the first time, when loading some presets, a message appeared stating that "Kontakt encountered a critical error and had to be closed." I've never seen this happen with other libraries much larger than this one. I believe this is closely related to poor coding and scripting. The library is only 3GB but is quite buggy. Certain presets, when using the preview function, simply cause Kontakt to shut down! That's too bizarre; I've never seen that happen before! Then I looked at the manual, and it included the following information:

❝Known Issues: High CPU usage, depending on the loaded Session; Various, minor UI bugs; and Possible playback stops when certain parameters in The Pulse get changed. The issue cannot be reproduced currently.❞

SIMPLY BIZARRE! Extremely poorly executed coding and scripting!

Update 1: To whom it may concern, the functioning of this library improves slightly after the batch resave. However, it remains as buggy as hell!

Update 2: I tried v1.0.1 UPDATE and, honestly, didn't notice any improvement...

Update 3: Again, around here, This Pulse no longer pulses...
