Native Instrument Komplete 9 Ultimate Torrent
Melvin Amey
I recently purchased the Native Instruments S88 MK2. My question is if anyone is using the MK2 series with MainStage. I have a concert setup for church work and want to branch out to use the Native Instruments virtuals that came with the controller with MainStage, but also want to use the features of the MK2 perhaps exclusively. Just searching for experiences with this process to save myself a lot of misery if it isn't worth the trouble. The controller is seriously crippled when using it just as a midi board and not utilizing the software and instruments that came with it and that are available by expansion.
2. There is a slot on the newly created instrument strip where you load plugins. You should see all your Native Instruments plugins appear in this list, along with the MainStage plugins as well. Load Komplete Kontrol into this slot. Check out this picture for reference if you are having trouble locating the plugin slot.
4. Important note: You must run Komplete Kontrol once as a standalone instrument before you attempt to use it in MainStage. When K.Kontrol starts for the first time, it builds a database of all Native Instruments instruments/sounds. If you try to use K.Kontrol in MainStage without first building the database, you may not see all your sounds show up in the browser. You may notice as you install additional Native Instruments plugins that you will have to perform this step again. (Launch K.Kontrol, and let it discover the new sounds before loading MainStage again.)
Thank you for the reply. I just a few months ago began using MainStage and still I'm unfamiliar with building live sets from any sounds that didnt come with MainStage or that are supported by groups like Worship Sound. Would it be safe to say that Kontakt player is similar in that I set up channel strips and bring in instruments to build custom layer? (and it is free) I just dont want to spend a lot of money on software I don't need since MainStage pretty much had what I needed. I just thought I could make use of all the features of the new controller plus the great sounds available that came free with the keyboard.
You can build a custom layer in Kontakt, but you will have more flexibility using MainStage as a host, and optionally running Kontakt as a standalone in tandem with MainStage. You'll need to explore the options to decide what is best your your situation. When you open Kontakt standalone, the Kontakt Virtual Input will show up in the MIDI output box of your external instrument channel strip.
Thank you for the response. I still seem to be missing a step, likely based upon my lack of experience with MainStage and the virtual instruments. I went to the concert level channel strip and created a channel strip, was able to set it as external instrument, but when I go to the properties of the strip/library, the Native Instruments library does not appear anywhere. I must have missed a step where I must share or point MainStage to the sounds that are available in NI Monarch, Ethereal earth etc.
I am trying to follow some of your steps and as far as Komplete Kontrol, I only have the free player version which leads me to ask, will this version work to do what I want? Second, I keep seeing that I must run KK stand alone first. Is that every time I boot up everything or just the very first time to get all software organized and looking for what it needs to function. And then of course again if I ever add new instruments?
Glad to help. You only need to run Komplete Kontrol standalone version once. It does not need to rebuild the database between reboots. You are correct that you'll need to run the standalone version again if you add new instruments so it can add them to the database.
3. If you want to play a Kontakt instrument (such as the piano: Grandeur,) you will load it within Komplete Kontrol. You can think of K.Kontrol as a shell or "host" for loading instruments. Sure, you could load Kontakt directly into MainStage, but without K.Kontrol, you won't have access to those advanced features on your S88 MKII.
One of the common complaints seems to be that they focus on soundware (sample libraries and expansion etc) over new instruments and FX. I think there is some truth in that, although the soft synth market is now very crowded compared to their heyday 10 or 15 years ago.
A lot of their own Reaktor instruments that are quite old are still great and are quite creative and different .g. Form, Prism, Rounds, etc and you can typically pick up old version of Komplete cheaply on the used market. If you buy an old version you get a ton of stuff quite cheaply.
Native Instruments do not offer a demo version for their Play Series instruments, Solid Mix Series, Mysteria, or any of the Expansions, Keys, Drums, Guitars, Strings, Brass/Woodwinds, or World sample based plugins.
The Native Instruments KOMPLETE KONTROL S61 MK2 Smart Keyboard Controller provides musicians and producers with an intuitive interface to browse, tweak and play software instruments. Now with the MK2, you'll have enhanced control and two high-resolution color screens for precision sound design.
The S61 MK2 features Native Instruments' Native Browser, allowing you to browse your entire KOMPLETE and VST instrument library from one place. Quickly find the sounds you need using descriptive tags, then load instruments with the push of a knob. The ergonomic 4-directional push encoder provides one-handed navigation of your DAW or instrument plugin, so you can stay focused on your performance.
Native Map technology automatically maps the S61 MK2's touch-sensitive knobs to control key parameters of any loaded KOMPLETE or NKS instrument. Make subtle tweaks or dramatic changes to suit your sound. The high-resolution color displays provide visual feedback, so you know exactly how an instrument patch or effect setting is changing in real time.
The S61 MK2's 61-note Fatar keybed offers a premium playing experience with aftertouch support for enhanced expression. The innovative Light Guide mirrors the keys and pads of KOMPLETE instruments across the keyboard, so you know which keys or pads are active without looking at your computer screen. Smart Play lets you play chords with single keys, map the keyboard to different scales and create instant arpeggios.
Komplete Audio 2 is a two-input, two-output design with two identical mic/line/instrument inputs. Connections are on space-saving combi XLRs with individual selector switches to select between line and instrument. 48V phantom power meanwhile is engaged globally via a single switch. In addition to the inputs, the front panel includes a hardware monitoring balance knob (Input/Host) and headphone output with independent control.
Native Instruments has now added a new beginner-level controller to go alongside its Komplete Kontrol A series: The Komplete Kontrol M32. This controller is optimally designed for use with the pre-mapped instruments and effects found in the NKS and Komplete plug-ins and, thanks to its control buttons and touch-sensitive rotary encoders, provides direct access to the transport, mixing, and editing functions found in the most popular DAWs. Users can therefore enjoy a faster and more intuitive workflow without having to constantly reach for their computer mouse and keyboard. The Komplete Kontrol M32 comes complete with a powerful software bundle comprising software synthesizers and Komplete instruments with a total of 6,100 sounds and presets, which gives budding music producers an solid and versatile basis to get started.
The Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol M32 features a smaller footprint than the company's A25 model, but its keyboard, which comprises 32 velocity-sensitive keys, adds half an octave to the latter's range, and the keys have been reduced to a compact size that provides a comfortable playing feel. The eight touch-sensitive rotary controls, which are pre-mapped to the most useful controls on all Komplete and NKS plug-ins, and the touch-sensitive pitch and mod strips can be used to modify the key parameters of the current preset and record these to the user's DAW while playing. The Komplete Kontrol M32 is USB-powered and can thus be easily combined with a laptop to create a setup that can be used on the go, while the corresponding Komplete Kontrol software provides a connection to the NKS control system that lets the user directly browse and preview the libraries of instruments, samples, and loops.
