I recently snagged Big Fish Audio's Cinematic Percussion 2 (the KLI Kontakt 4/5 version) and noticed that the demo patches were missing. Everything else is in place -- the Kontakt 4 Kit Combos/individual loops, the K5 versions and all the samples … just no demo patch(es) that allows you to actually hear all the construction kits mixed together. Otherwise, you load up a kit combo and have no idea what it was originally supposed to sound like, it's just individual pieces. According to the accompanying read me .pdf, and their site, there is definitely supposed to be a demo patch or patches included, but if it's included, they've done a damn fine job of hiding it. Obviously, I can't ask Big Fish Audio about it. I also have Epic Drums II, same company, same type of KLI, and their demo patch is called "_Preview Kits", located right at the head of their Kit Combos folder. If anybody knows where I can find or download the one for Cinematic Percussion 2, it would be deeply appreciated!

 

Forgot to add that, in the "Samples" folder, there is an .aif for each one of the full demo mixes for each one of the kits … there just isn't an .nki for the demo patch itself. If I could somehow find the .nki, I'd be fine. I guess a worst-case scenario would be, I'd extract each one of the full demo .aifs and make an iTunes playlist for them to use as a reference, I'd just rather keep it all inside Kontakt, if possible.

 

Solved (kind of): the version I originally downloaded was a KLI-only version. I tracked down and downloaded the full 9.75 GB version of the library, which included REX, WAV, etc., and found the .nki file I needed (called "DEMO"). Why that one file was missing from the KLI version, I have no idea.
