HI Spalding

As you will be back soon, here is some info to get you started

Kontakt Setup

Make sure you have everything connected, then when you first open Kontakt a setup box will appear. (If you have run the program previously you can access the box by going to File and selecting Options)

Audio:

Set the driver to ASIO
Select the correct ASIO Device (If one came with your sound card use this rather than ASIO4all)
ASIO Configuration: If the driver came with your sound card this will probably be already setup to give the correct performance with your sound card. (You will need to consult the sound card manual if you need to change the settings)
If you are using ASIO4all make sure the correct computer output is selected, and adjust the buffer size to 256 samples. (This will be a trial an error adjustment to optimise latency and CPU use, however 256 is usually a good starting point)

MIDI:

Make sure the INPUT button is selected and select you Midi interface from the list and choose to assign it to port A.

Click close and you are ready to go. (NOTE: all the settings are remembered on exit so you will not need to go through the options every time the program starts, unless you wish to change the settings)

Keyboard:

Set the Midi up to control external equipment. (You will need to consult the manual for this) You can adjust the main sound balance using the computer volume and Keyboard/Mixer input volume.

Below are a couple of tutorials to get you started







When you feel comfortable with using the combination, post again and we can then move onto to Multis. (Sound Banks)
