Description

Join virtual instrument guru Eli Krantzberg for an in-depth look at Native Instruments' KONTAKT 7, the virtual sampler instrument that contains everything you need to build up your productions in style. In this KONTAKT video course Eli gets you up and running quickly, explaining how to navigate the interface, set up various routings, manage files/presets, optimize performance, create your own instruments, and much more. These KONTAKT videos are for new KONTAKT 7 users.

Eli begins with an overview of the KONTAKT 7 interface. Learn about the various views, the Instrument Rack, the onscreen keyboard, the Info pane, and more. Then explore the fundamental building blocks that KONTAKT 7 uses to construct the instruments. Check out the Library Browser and see how to quickly find the sound you're looking for with intelligent searches and filtering. Explore the world of presets, snapshots, and file management, so you'll never have to hunt for that favorite sound again.

Next up, investigate the Instrument Rack and its various functions and see how a custom keyboard layer is created and saved as a multi. Learn also how to optimize KONTAKT 7's performance and display to suit your system's needs so that you're achieving peak efficiently in all aspects. Then follow along as Eli demonstrates various routing possibilities within the plug, including aux buses and individual outputs (for processing each instrument separately).

Many more topics are covered as well, such as Quick-Load (your own personal virtual folder/file system), automation and MIDI learn, instrument options (including factory, custom-made, and third-party instruments), creating your own instruments, and more. You'll also get closer looks at each factory library - Acoustic, Band, Beats, Choir, Orchestral, Synths, and Vintage - so you can hear examples of each in action!

There are many things our users love about Groove3, but a couple always stand out at the top when asked why people choose us as their learning resource.

We meticulously craft professional quality tutorials that are thoughtful, informative and done with attention to detail. We stand behind our products with a 100% satisfaction guarantee and are trusted by 1000s of users every day.

Our library brings over 1700 hours of quality instruction to you fingertips and we release new content every week. Don't waste your valuable time scouring the web for information you may never find or is cumbersome to use and potentially can't be trusted.

This series certainly does give you all the information you need, but it is a bit of a slog to get through in places. I felt talked at a little too often with this one from Eli, especially towards the beginning. But the key things most of us will need to do in Kontakt are delivered / explained well enough.

High quality content from Eli, as always.
