NATIVE INSTRUMENTS KONTAKT 5 HOW TO
However, here’s a possibly more clear explanation of how to import from image files rather than physical CD-ROMs. The official method is detailed in the Kontakt 5 manual, page 116.
It’s also possible to import an entire disc at once, rather than piecemeal. – Double-click on a single instrument to convert and import. – Insert a sampler CD-ROM disc into an optical drive connected to the computer running Kontakt. Regardless, make sure to check that “Show Foreign Formats” is enabled in the ‘View’ menu of Kontakt before proceeding. There are various ways to import legacy sampler content: Physical CD with CD-ROM drive, virtual CD images (IMG, ISO, NRG, DMG), and loose instrument files which have already been extracted from floppy diskette, CD-ROM, SCSI hard drive, or another sampler storage medium. Kontakt 6 has removed support for these legacy sampler formats, but Kontakt 5 will happily convert and (if desired) resave to standard NKI files which will then work in Kontakt 6, if migrating exclusively to the newest version is (for some reason) required.Īgain, make sure to use Native Instrument Kontakt 5 (5.8.1 is the final version), and not the newer version 6! The Import Version can be important in rare instances, but can be generally ignored. For example, the vocal on itself is quite basic, but then adding FabFilter Saturn gave a bit-crushed glitch effect.Using vintage Akai, Emu, Ensoniq, Kurzweil, Roland, and Yamaha sample CD-ROMs and other instrument files with Kontakt is fairly simple to do, and does not require purchasing any additional third-party conversion software. To avoid my songs sounding generic, I often use off-kilter-sounding synths and effects. I feel like to keep a degree of catchiness to your songs it’s important to keep it simple. You can adjust the key in the plugin and it has built-in chop/effects options that are useful for making the samples sound less generic.Īfter messing around for a while we came up with this little loop. So, about the vocals: it’s a couple of vocal chops from Output’s Arcade – a handy tool for vocal samples. Your collab with French II, Silver Lining – tell us all about you created the vocals and how is that powerful main synth created? The Light and Silver Lining are the most extreme examples of this new melodic adventure, the rest of the EP came after that and explores this sound in a more subtle way. It’s funny, the project name of The Light was ‘ Deadmau5 meets Two Shell’ for a while.
In my previous work, I always wrote bright melodies and chords – stuff would sound cute and wholesome. It’s funny, The Light was one of the first demos I wrote for the record and still feels like it was one of the first moments I noticed a new sound was forming. Can you tell us the melodies we’re hearing in The Light? There are so many exciting sounds throughout this EP. It’s just this very particular sweet spot in between sounding warm and futuristic. A couple of pads in The Light and Hold on Me are Scarbo for example, but also all those gritty sub-basses that I use on every song. Unfortunately, there aren’t too many options to adjust the presets, but enough to make them fit in. It has extremely rich sounds that make up a chunk of the synths on the EP. What plugin would High Hopes be incomplete without?ĭefinitely Native Instruments’ Kontakt extension, Scarbo.
