John Walden spent some time with the instrument, and he particularly enjoyed the focus on soft-medium dynamics and the warm vintage sound imparted by Konk Studios. Here are are some selected quotes:

“..pristine and detailed acoustic drum sounds, full of sonic character.”

“a kit played with a brush might not be the first thing you think of to shake your speakers, but Moonkits can do that if you want it to”

“the sound-shaping and beat creation tools Soniccouture provide here are excellent and super creative”

“Moonkits is simply an absolute sonic joy. Can I give it 6 out of 5?”

By Soniccouture  |  12.11.2019

  1. Kontakt includes a handy multi-script for exactly this purpose, and it’s not scary. Go to the top bit of Kontakt, where it says ‘Multi-rack : New (Default)’, and click the ‘KSP’ button to the right.

2.  You’ll see a grey panel appear. A bit scary, but you’re going to power through this. At the left edge of the panel you’ll see some buttons, click on the ‘Preset’ button, and Go to Factory > Transform > Change Keys

4. You can now save this Multi you’ve created as a multi preset: File Menu >Save Multi As, and recall it whenever you need.
