MainStage, for example, has excellent multi-core handling and does all the heavy lifting in that respect for you. However, did you know that this option can sometimes work against you when hosting Kontakt in another audio program? Of course, when running Kontakt in standalone mode you’re going to want Kontakt to utilize all those cores you paid so much for. In the options menu under ‘engine’ you’ll be able to adjust Kontakt’s multiprocessor support options. Here, you can easily invert a routing if you like! Why not have a single knob move one control up while moving another one down? You can make some pretty drastic adjustments in tone that way. Right-Click and AssignĪs if that amount of control wasn’t enough, you can even click on the ‘auto’ menu in the navigation area (upper left corner of the window) and you’ll be treated to a top down view of all the assignments you made. It’s a great time saver if you’re looking to browse through your library and don’t want to use Komplete Kontrol. Voila! The current sound will disappear, and your new sound will appear, already routed to MIDI channel 1. Well, it doesn’t have to be this way! Instead of deleting your original sound and then instantiating your new one, simply drag and drop the NKI file onto the current sound that exists in the rack. Of course, since your controller is set to MIDI channel 1, you won’t hear your new sound when you play! When you have a sound loaded up in the rack and you double-click a different patch, Kontakt automatically keeps your previous sound and adds a new sound on MIDI channel 2. Ok, you know how you pick out one sound, decide you want to use another so you browse a bit, double-click on a preset, play some notes… and still hear the original sound? I know, it drove me nuts too. Put them in the quick load menu and call it a day! Drag and Replace, Keep the Same MIDI Channel If you find yourself reaching for a similar set of instruments often, you’d be nuts to waste valuable session time hunting around that huge library. You can drag and drop your favorite multis, banks, and instruments into the menu.
Just to the right of the ‘keyboard’ button at the top menu bar, click on the ‘quick’ button and you’ll be treated to Kontakt’s Quick Load menu.
It’s so easily overlooked, and it’s one of the best features of Kontakt if you find yourself reaching for your favorite instruments often.
