View Menu
The entire instrument can be re-sized from the View menu. Choices are Normal,
Bigger, and Large. Typically you will use Large when creating Instruments, and
Normal when everything has been programmed, and you’re using KONTAKT
PLAYER 2 as a plug-in or stand-alone device. You can set the window size
under Options > Interface.
System Performance Meters
These are located in the upper right section of the Main Control Panel.
Clockwise from upper left, these show the following.
Notes: The amount of polyphony being used. The first digit shows the current
number of notes being played; the second digit shows the maximum amount
of polyphony.
CPU: Shows how much CPU power is being used by KONTAKT PLAYER 2.
More bars indicate more CPU use.
Disk: Shows the amount of KONTAKT PLAYER 2’s hard disk access. Pulling
more data from disk illuminates more bars.
RAM: Indicates how much memory is being taken up by the samples used
by KONTAKT PLAYER 2. This figure will be much higher if DFD is not being
used.
