I was lucky to be able to purchase Indie and Indie 2. Being somehow a bit phrase phobic myself, I had long debated whether or not to get these. Now that I have had the chance to play with both I can s... See more

Fantastic sound as always

Fantastic sound as always. Full of warmth, realism and depth. All it takes is a couple minutes to learn their features and away you go, with brilliant realistic samples at your fingertips. As a media composer & producer, Sonokinetic libraries feature in many of my DAW templates. They also have a great customer service for if/when you’re in need of advice/support. That’s worth a lot to me. I’m a fan.

One of the best libraries out there

After a misunderstanding with a library I purchased over a decade ago, some persistence on my part found the right person to sort out my issue. thank you Mr Ken Black for sorting out this faithful and very appreciative long time customer of yours. As always looking forward to whatever comes next with your company.

Very sad to see Sonokinetic using AI…

Very sad to see Sonokinetic using AI artwork.

While AI is destroying art and illustrators, Sonokinetic thinks it's A-Okay to use it for promoting their Fantasy orchestra.

Our question is of course: Why should we be bothered to watch that artwork, if you couldn't be bothered to draw and film it? And why should we buy a sample library in stead of having AI generate it, if the one selling the samples thinks the same about images?

Not buying this product, that's for sure.

Reply from Sonokinetic B.V.

I'm sorry to hear you feel that way. This art was actually purchased from an artist we have worked with for years (since the Capriccio cinematic). Zooming in on the art I can see it is AI, but it is very similar to what he provided to us before this current AI boom.

We feel the same way about AI as you do, and I can assure you no AI is used in the production of our products, this is all still very much a manual process, aided by a bunch of PERL programs that we wrote ourselves, and the new LUA tools that Native Instruments is providing us with.

That said, it seems AI is here to stay, and we all have to find a way to utilise it as a tool in ethical ways - I feel like everyone is getting tired of the way it is being overused.

Finally, and maybe I am oversharing here, but I feel that the ease with which our customer's customers can now create music that is at times (and obviously subjectively) 'good enough', is having an effect on the demand for music to picture, and as such on the demand for our products as well. Big video promo productions like we used to produce for big product releases in the past no longer fit the budget, so we have to navigate that too. I tend to opt for stock footage edited by a human over the ease and mediocre quality you get from the AI robots...anyway, I hope this answers your question!

Poor product quality and no support - Extremely Disappointing…

I recently purchased the online product "Colors" to complete a time-sensitive project. After downloading the product, I encountered significant functionality issues that prevented me from meeting my project deadline, resulting in the loss of a client's order. I contacted Sonokinetic to report the software problems but did not receive a response for several days. Eventually, I received a brief and unhelpful reply stating that a software update might address the issues in the future, without providing any concrete solutions.

I expressed my dissatisfaction, explaining that the product's malfunctioning and the lack of support made it impossible to use effectively. Unfortunately, there was no further communication from the company. As a result, I am leaving this feedback and plan to file an official complaint with PayPal to request a refund for my purchase.

It is disappointing that the company accepts payment for a product that does not function as advertised and fails to provide adequate customer support. I hope this feedback encourages improvements in both the product and the support services offered.

Nice new addition to the sonokinetic library… top notch sample in sound, quality and do inspiring… though I do wish to also have the alternative “legend” way to scroll through presets as an option…

Top Orchestral library in the industry!

Using Sonokinetic libraries puts you in a different league of composer / producer. These are as good as you can get, and when on sale, the price is very reasonable for the quality and immense amount of effort that went into making these libraries!
Highly recommended, great support.

Clear and thoughtful communication/instructions.

Like many music software libraries, there are a lot of steps to get through the process of downloading it and so on, but the Sonokinetic instructions were easy to follow, every step was made clear. Everything went well and have already tried out the product (Fantasy). What was really amazing is that I had it my cart for several months with a discount code and you still honored it on top of the current sale price.
