Feature Overview

AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD VIA NATIVE ACCESS 

Powered by Native Instruments' Kontakt Player v5.7.1 or higher


Percussion Essentials X3M brings together the highlights of our X3M Percussion Series, which was created during the last 9 years. This collection is the perfect entry point for new composers and producers starting out as well as veterans, who want to extend their scoring palette or need an easy to use percussion scoring tool. Featuring three mic positions recorded in an ambient concert hall. A "ready to go" tool for all situations.

The X3M Percussion Engine

The concept behind this engine is fairly simple – the keyboard range is divided into 12 zones that you are able to assign different sounds to. After creating a template of your choosing just plug in and play – nothing else needed!
In addition to that the engine also allows you to tweak individual zones, as well as the whole mapped ensemble patch with various effects and mic positions. Combining these with the natural and organic recordings you have maximum flexibility when it comes to sound.
 
Once you load up the X3M Ensemble Builder you automatically load all samples inside the “Samples” directory. However, the instrument is built in such a way that it actually keeps all samples purged, unless you load them up into a zone. This means that not only do you have a single patch with all types of percussion you might need, but it is also optimized and doesn't hurt your RAM resources in any way!
 
The recently updated X3M Engine also features Round Robin Selection as well as Stereo Spread control for each microphone position and a Microphone Align feature to control the tightness between the different microphones.
 
Additional Crossgrade Discounts available for owners of X3M products.

FAQ

Can I use your libraries with the Kontakt Player?

As not all of our products come with unique serial numbers which you are to insert into Native Access, please pay close attention to the products' "Requirements" sections - they can tell you if you can power a certain library through the free Kontakt Player, or if you need to purchase the retail version of Kontakt in order to use the library to its fullest potential (for instance - Architecture of Sound is meant only for the full Kontakt v5.7.1 or higher, while Storm Choir Ultimate can be powered through v5.7.1 or higher for both the full / paid Kontakt and the free Kontakt Player).

Are there payment options other than PayPal at your store?

True, PayPal is our primary processor. But so that people don't feel pressed to use their services if they don't want to, we also accept money orders through Wise (formerly known as TransferWise) and regular bank wire transfers. Just leave your order open and reach out to our support team, please.

I bought one (or more) of your libraries through Native Instruments. Can I have it/them added to my account on your site?

Yes, indeed, please do! That way (assuming you're using different emails for our site and NI's) you'd get higher crossgrade rates to other libraries of ours'. Reach out to our support, and include the invoice you were issued and/or your serial number(s).

Do you offer educational discounts?

Yes, we do! We offer a total of 30% off all single products' full retail prices and, again, a total of 35% off all bundles (Counting the existing discount rates! For example, our CHOIR COLLECTION isn't subject to EDU pricing, as its discount is higher than 35%) . We only request that you provide us with a scanned image of your student / faculty / staff ID and a recently dated document proving that you are currently studying or that you are a faculty/staff member, and send it to support@strezov-sampling.com . And, of course - to save some time, include the product(s) you're interested in and are ready to purchase. Please note that the educational discount is not "stackable" with other offers we might be having at a certain point. And yes, a library's intro pricing is considered a promotional offer, so the same rule applies :)

I completed my order, but didn't receive any download links?

In the new version of our site, all our existing clients have profiles of their own, containing orders, download links for libraries and updates, personal / company information for invoicing, crossgrade options and gift cards. Try yours - we believe you will enjoy having everything in one place! :)

How do I add your libraries to my Native Access profile?

If you haven't received a Native Access serial number with one of the confirmation emails we are sending out, then the library you have purchased is to be treated as "third party" - we can't provide serial numbers for those and so the products aren't visible in the standard "library view" of Kontakt. We can still offer you a workaround for the Strezov Sampling libraries you are using.

Is there a specific OS version I must have in order to power any of your libraries?

Our libraries don't work in standalone mode without Native Instruments Kontakt, so you only need to pay attention to the required Kontakt / Kontakt Player version. If you can open Kontakt's respective version with your current OS, then you can be sure the library will work, as well.
