The Kontakt window will appear, and a MIDI track will be created,
transmitting to Kontakt’s MIDI channel A-1. When it is record-enabled, it will
send any incoming MIDI played on your controller into Kontakt.
At this point, you can skip down in the instructions to the Getting Started
With ELECTRI6ITY section below.
USING KONTAKT IN GARAGEBAND
Users of Apple’s GarageBand can use Kontakt as an AudioUnit plug-in. These
instructions have been prepared in GarageBand 5 (which shipped with iLife ‘09),
although Kontakt may also work in earlier versions if the computer meets the system
requirements.
Once inside your GarageBand project, go to the Track menu and choose New Track.
[05]
A window with three choices will appear. Choose Software Instrument, then click
Choose.
[06]
On the right side of the interface, the Browse tab will be showing. Switch
to the Edit tab.
[07]
The Sound Generator will default to Piano. Click on Piano, and a
popup menu will appear. Choose Audio Unit Modules > Kontakt 3. [08]
Note: GarageBand may default to inserting
effects, such as a compressor and a visual EQ
on this track. This will color the sound. If you don’t
want these effects used, you can remove
them.
Once Kontakt 3 is selected, the icon will
change to the AudioUnit icon (the ball with
the sound waves radiating outward). Double-click
on the icon to bring up the Kontakt window. [09]
