Kontakt and Orchestral Tools

[John André Lium-Netland]

Hi,

Does anyone have experience with Kontakt 5 or 6 and the libraries from Orchestral Tools like the Berlin series? Does this work well with Pro Tools and VoiceOver?

Are there any differences if you buy such libraries from Orchestral Tools or via Native Instruments? Does anyone use the Kontakt 6 player with Keyboard Maestro for libraries like these?

Best,
John André

I don't personally have experience with any of the Orchestral Tools products. Typically, Kontakt itself isn't accessible outside of using key switches. One can certainly use my macros to do stuff like load and batch resave.

If Native Instruments sells these products, that usually means there's some NKS support. This would be a useful thing to know. However, even NKS support itself doesn't guarantee that the developer has mapped the product comprehensively. Unfortunately, library plug-ins don't often come with a demo license so it's sometimes a bit of a risk. That's where communication with the developer can often be critical.

Hope that helps a bit,

Slau

Hi Slau,

Thanks for the feedback. Are there any KM macros for Kontakt 6 yet, or should I uninstall Kontakt 6 and install Kontakt 5 to use the macros found on the Dropbox instead?

I guess it anyways will be a lot more time consuming to work with than it would be if I could switch patches by going to the next or previous TFX file….

Best,

John André

Hi John,

I've updated the macro files in the Drop Box to reflect what's in the Komplete Kontrol Drop Box. You can delete any Kontakt macro groups you currently have and import what you need from the Drop Box. I've combined the 

content Missing and Missing 

samples macros into one macro group and then there's the stand-alone and plug-in versions of the Kontakt macros which work for Kontakt 5 or 6. Hope that helps,

Slau

Thanks, I’ll check out this! What should I do to have access to the Komplete Kontrol dropbox as well? :)

Best,

I can add you directly. It's about 1.5 GB, FYI. LMK which email works best.

Hi Slau and others,

I’m a little confused, I have installed and enabled the KM macros found in the PT and Komplete Kontrol drop box.

If I use the shortcuts described for Komplete Kontrol in the Komplete Kontrol plugin, they somewhat works, but I get an error message saying something like “macro not matching current window”… I even have tried this in a session created by the PT KK template.

If I open the Kontakt plugin in a different track, I can not find any shortcuts that will work with the Kontakt plugin, so wonder if I have installed the correct macros. I did not have any macros installed for KK or Kontakt before I did this recent install.

I have Kontakt 6.0.4 AAX plugin and Komplete Kontrol 2.0.5 AAX plugin installed with PT 2018.12 and Flo Tools 2.2 under El Capitan. My issues can caused by the fact that this is old software, but thought I would ask in case it’s possible to solve this temporary until I have upgraded my system.

As the NI products are new to me, I’m also a little confused when it comes to Komplete Kontrol. Do I need to use the Kontakt Player if I have any of the Komplete Kontrol versions available, or can I play all Kontakt libraries also from the Komplete Kontrol plugin? I currently only have the free versions of the software installed, to make myself a little more comfortable with the products before I go any further…

My impression so far, is that even though it will be possible to load samples and instruments, it will not be possible to read the name of loaded instruments and samples as soon as they are loaded, since we do not have access to the list of loaded samples. So, at this time, you’ll anyway need one of the Komplete Kontrol keyboard controllers to have any kind of such feedback, right?

Sorry for all the confusion… :)

Best,

John André

Hi John,

Well, there could be any number of things going on and it would be a long series of questions and answers between us to try and figure out, not only what's going on but how to explain certain aspects of using Komplete Kontrol. Indeed, you absolutely need a Komplete Kontrol keyboard to access instruments. The M32 is a good way to go if you do have another full size keyboard as well. Again, it's a lot to explain. I'm happy to set aside a little time to do a voice chat if you'd like. Let me know off list. Cheers,

Slau
