ABBEY ROAD DRUMMERS series

Ant G. · 2024-11-30T22:52:29+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Does anyone have access to the ABBEY ROAD DRUMMERS series? I've all of the individual Abbey Road series installed and found on the NI web site to open Native Access and install the ABBEY ROAD DRUMMERS series. However this VST does not appear as an option and Legacy is Enabled. I'm licensed for The Ultimate Collector Series v14

If anyone has this VST "ABBEY ROAD DRUMMERS series" , might you be able to load a screen shot of the MIDI presets that are available?

Here's an image of the older Roland presets within the legacy Abbey series that are available.
I'm hoping there's one for the Roland TD-50X in the newer Abbey Road Drummer Series.
Thanks in advance

Also then for details then you can check the sections "Equipment details" and "Drums and equipment" parts of the product pages

ABBEY ROAD VINTAGE DRUMMER

ABBEY ROAD 50s DRUMMER

ABBEY ROAD 60s DRUMMER

ABBEY ROAD 70s DRUMMER

ABBEY ROAD 80s DRUMMER

ABBEY ROAD MODERN DRUMMER

P.S. With respect to the presets that you refer to in the options section then they appear as being more or less the same for all the Abbey Road Drum products :

OK that helps, thanks (Drums vs. Drummer). Looks like no improvements to any Roland modules past 2004 which was when the TD-20 was released and supported ended in 2008. It would seem obvious then the Abbey Road drum libraries won't receive any MIDI preset for newer Roland modules. I've tried the "Drummer" version with the TD-50X and while the samples sound great, there's quite a bit missing. Superior Drummer wins on this one with a direct TD-50X MIDI option. Thanks for all your assistance.

This series is not a VST. These are all Kontakt libraries.

All are available without any Legacy switches and load normally in Kontakt 7 here.

First, thanks for the reply. Yes I am aware they load normally hence my image which is a screen capture from one of the Abbey Road libraries 50s, 60s 70s etc currently loaded work fine (yes, correct not a VST).
The Native-Instruments site shows this section below (note the bold / italicized area) hence I am seeking the apparent condensed Abbey Road Drummer series with newer features + functions as their site states.

"Note: All ABBEY ROAD DRUMS Libraries were discontinued and have been replaced with the "ABBEY ROAD DRUMMERS series". The ABBEY ROAD DRUMMERS Libraries are built with the same samples and sounds, but offer more features and functions. We strongly recommend to use the new updated ABBEY ROAD DRUMMERS, which are directly available in Native Access. If Native Access does not show the ABBEY ROAD DRUMMERS Libraries, contact our Order Support via our support form.”https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003340145-Some-of-my-KOMPLETE-8-ULTIMATE-Products-are-Missing-in-Native-Access

Still not understanding this.

"I am seeking the apparent condensed Abbey Road Drummer series with newer features + functions as their site states"

Anything that you have in Komplete 14 IS the new "drummer" series. There is nothing else. Like so:

The OLD Drummer series simply had the word "Drums" in the product title - as in "Abbey Road 60's Drums"

These will only show if you are license for them from way back when - AND if you have the Show Discontinued Products slider on under Preferences→Legacy Products.

It would seem obvious then the Abbey Road drum libraries won't receive any MIDI preset for newer Roland modules.

There also exists third party midi loops. I don't know if any of this is something that is applicable here or that you have any use for but MIDI drum loops by Groove Monkee is compatible wit a lot including both "MIDI Loops for Abbey Road Drums" as well as also is compatible with Superior Drummer

Well thanks for the additional comment. I was going to use the Abbey Road series for Live Playing via the Roland TD-50X module but perhaps that may help someone else.
