NATIVE INSTRUMENTS KONTAKT 2 – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Sometimes I hear distortion.
What to do?
Distortion may happen within the sampler engine if you play high level
(0 dB or nearby) samples simultaneously. In this case first you should
check your signal flow and set everything (the channel, bus/group and the
master fader) to 0 dB (unity). Then lower the output volume level of the
sampler until the simultaneous play of several notes (a chord) does not
cause distortion at the loudest level of the sound. You can lower the
volume of Kontakt with the Volume fader located under the Output Meter.
If you make sure that no distortion occurs within the sample engine (see
above), but distortion still exists please check the settings of your signal
flow elements.
How can I load the Kontakt
Bank file (*.nkb) into
Kontakt?
In the Kontakt 2 file-browser locate this file:
“
Wavescape Studio_G2_Vol_01_Club_Life.nkb
”. It contains all the
sampler programs and samples. Simply drag and drop this file to the
empty window on the right. A progress window will appear indicating
your sounds are loading.
I loaded the bank, play the
keyboard but there is no
sound.
What to do?
You have to select a patch - the basic alias patch at bank loading
startup is an empty sound that show only the name of the product -
("Club Life") this case.
Select the first patch with the mouse and start playing while not
forgetting to move the modulation wheel slowly!
I have already several banks
opened and the new CLUB
LIFE bank does not sound.
What’s wrong?
Set the Midi Channel settings to the channel number your keyboard
transmits, but the easiest is always to select the “Omni” channel.
What to do if I hear stuck
notes or pops, clicks or
“cutted” sounds?
The polyphony of Kontakt 2 is set to 64 default. Stuck notes can be a
phenomenon of limited polyphony, so increase it by double clicking to the
current polyphony display (“64”) and enter a higher or lower value.
Select the Options / DFD Direct From Disc menu, then select the
appropriate settings that suits the best for you.
It is also possible that your computer's resources are unsufficient for using
this software sampler, so you should upgrade to a more powerful
computer, or adjust/fine-tune software settings for musical applications.
