The videos show a person playing around with chords and sounds, but what do I do when I find a good sample and effect combination I like? How can I make use of the samples and the effects settings Playbox has stumbled upon? As far as I can tell I need to recreate the sound I liked from scratch from instruments and effect. If I'm looking for inspiration Playbox is a good tool. But if I can't get any useful output from it to help building my tracks what's the point?
@Jeremy_NI I just tried to load Playbox on Kontakt in standalone and I noticed it does not appear in the instrument library, unlike other instruments. I have reinstalled Playbox several times before now, so I am not sure what's going on.
Playbox works in Komplete Control under Garageband. Although: constant crashes, not consistent so I cannot verify a specific cause. All other Kontakt instruments are working like usual in Komplete Kontrol.
Let me again stress that all other instruments under Kontakt are running perfectly alright: Electric Sunburst, Glaze, DrumLab, Monarch, Prism, Reaktor, Twentyfour etc etc. Its only Playbox causing trouble.
Similar issue here. Can create a project and use Playbox within Komplete Kontrol on a track. But when I reopen the project and hit the Play transport, it hangs. Then have to Force Quit. I can unload Playbox and load it again, but then I'd have to reselect instruments and such. Also, I am opening Logic Pro in Rosetta Mode. Still have no solution, but wanted to add details. Thanks.

I am in love with playbox - and I have finally discovered how to recreate the lead synth from Shine On You Crazy Diamond - but to get it to sound like I want I have had to set each vertical rack in the Chords section to just one note, rather than to a chord.

One of the common complaints seems to be that they focus on soundware (sample libraries and expansion etc) over new instruments and FX. I think there is some truth in that, although the soft synth market is now very crowded compared to their heyday 10 or 15 years ago.
A lot of their own Reaktor instruments that are quite old are still great and are quite creative and different .g. Form, Prism, Rounds, etc and you can typically pick up old version of Komplete cheaply on the used market. If you buy an old version you get a ton of stuff quite cheaply.
