ILIO - Spectrasonics Vocal Planet

Description

Hark! What could this be? A long awaited (probably not...) port of the beloved (probably well known) Spectrasonics' own Vocal Planet, compatible with your new fangled Kontakt sample player? Why it is! Basically I decided to take the (most) liberty in converting by hand, a majority* of the samples and patches by hand for it to be usable in Kontakt 7 (as early as Kontakt 5.6). Includes .nicnt file for easier installation, load up your library tools and go wild! Do enjoy this lil' mini project of mine, and let me know if there are any discrepancies with patches and the like. CREDIT GOES TO THIS LOVELY SOURCE ! *Majority being the more important, or already done layer-patches (the combos for instance), and as for Vol. 2, which will be also be covered in the contained disclaimer, the reference model I used to properly de-AKAI-nise the directory structure deemed confusing given that the patches didn't reflect the said reference model. This in turn had me decide to make a traditional CDXTRACT conversion of that volume. Please let me know if there is a proper Vol. 2 disk that correlates with Spectrasonics' official AKAI programme listing. Apologies in advance. UPDATE! I've also included a slightly cut down version for those who use Omnisphere 1 & 2 and couldn't find certain patches/sources within Omnisphere's core library but can use Kontakt in conjunction. UPDATE 2! (1/17/24): From learning more practical techniques in converting various old sample CD programs to Kontakt, I've wanted to make an updated version of this, instead of making these patches simple condensed monoliths, make them the patch as well as the actual, assigned, uncompressed WAV samples incase you want to use them in your favorite samplers. Another change will be the naming, keeping all raw files, patches included to be their AKAI names that way you can easily refer to specific patches in accordance to musical sample identification resources. I didn't realize some variations of stacks included different samples, so I'll be sure to throw them in except for the RAM-friendly patches that were optimized for the original sampler hardware to avoid redundancy. Though my drastic change of the conversion will only apply to the main, full library as opposed to the Omnisphere companion, I apologize in advance. Stay tuned!
