3 – KONTAKT PLAYER 2
• Kill Newest (most recently played note)
• Kill Highest (highest-pitched note)
• Kill Lowest (lowest-pitched note)
Voice Stealing Fadeout Time: Sets how long a stolen voice will fade out before
it disappears, from 0 to 1000ms. This may cause the number of voices to
temporarily exceed what’s specified as the maximum amount of polyphony.
Key Switch Default Key: This is the first key that is activated when you load this
instrument with “Start on key” group start options.
MIDI Transpose: Transposes incoming MIDI data in semitones. Example: If this
is set to 2 and you play a C# on your keyboard, the Instrument being triggered
will play a D#.
Key Range: This sets the Instrument’s keyboard range. Placing your mouse over
the lower or upper limit causes a double arrow to appear. Drag up to raise the
limit’s note pitch, or drag down to lower. The range cannot go below C-2, or
above G. Use this with multiple Instruments to create keyboard splits - for
example, bass could cover the lower two octaves of your keyboard, and piano
the rest. Double-click the a value field to enter a note from your computer
keyboard.
Velocity Range: This restricts the velocity range to which an Instrument will
respond. Placing your mouse over the lower or upper limit causes a double
arrow to appear. Drag up to raise the velocity limit, or drag down to lower. The
range cannot go below 1, or above 12. Double-click a value field to enter a
value from your computer keyboard. Example: You could set a B3-type organ
Instrument to respond to velocities 1-12, while a pipe organ Instrument
responds to velocities 111-12. Velocities of 111 or above will layer the two
organ sounds for a more powerful effect.
DFD & Load Tab
DFD Preload Buffer Size: Sets the amount of RAM dedicated to each preload buffer
when using DFD. This is an expert setting and should not be adjusted unless
you are instructed to do so from tech support. You have been warned!
Controller Tab
MIDI Controller #: This drop-down menu determines how KONTAKT PLAYER
2 responds to MIDI Controller #, which defaults to controlling the sustain
pedal. Here are your options.
• Sustain Pedal and Controller: KONTAKT PLAYER 2 will respond to a
switched (on-off) or continuous controller (values above = sustain
