How to Use Norctrack Roland D 50 Nki Kontak Library for Kontakt

If you are looking for a sound library that recreates the vintage synth sounds of the Roland D 50, you might want to check out the Norctrack Roland D 50 Nki Kontak library for Kontakt. This library contains over 500 MB of samples from the original Roland D 50 synthesizer, which was released in 1987 and became one of the most popular digital synths of all time. The library features Kontakt instruments (nki) that let you play and tweak the sounds using the Kontakt interface. You can also use the wav files directly in your DAW or sampler of choice.

In this article, we will show you how to use the Norctrack Roland D 50 Nki Kontak library for Kontakt, and give you some tips on how to get the most out of it.

How to Install and Load the Library

The first step is to download and extract the library from the norCTrack website[^1^] or from other sources[^3^]. The library comes in a zip file that contains a folder with the nki files and a folder with the wav files. You will need to have Kontakt 4.0.5 or higher installed on your computer to use the library.

To install the library, simply copy the folder with the nki files to your Kontakt libraries folder, which is usually located in Documents/Native Instruments/Kontakt. To load the library, open Kontakt and click on the Libraries tab. You should see the Norctrack Roland D 50 icon in the list of libraries. Click on it and you will see a list of instruments categorized by type: Bass, Brass, FX, Keys, Leads, Pads, Percussion, Strings, Synth and Vox. You can double-click on any instrument to load it into Kontakt.

How to Play and Edit the Sounds

Once you have loaded an instrument, you can play it using your MIDI keyboard or controller. You can also use your mouse to click on the virtual keyboard at the bottom of the Kontakt interface. The sounds are mapped across the entire keyboard range, so you can play them in any octave you want.

To edit the sounds, you can use the knobs and sliders on the Kontakt interface. Each instrument has its own set of parameters that let you adjust aspects such as volume, pan, filter, envelope, LFO, effects and more. You can also use the modulation wheel and pitch bend wheel on your MIDI controller to modulate some of these parameters. For example, you can use the modulation wheel to control the filter cutoff or resonance, or use the pitch bend wheel to create vibrato or pitch slides.

You can also use the snapshot feature in Kontakt to save and recall different settings for each instrument. To do this, click on the camera icon at the top right corner of the Kontakt interface. You will see a list of snapshots that are already included with each instrument. You can click on any snapshot to load it, or click on the plus icon to create a new snapshot. You can also rename or delete snapshots by right-clicking on them.

How to Use the Library in Your Music Production

The Norctrack Roland D 50 Nki Kontak library is a great resource for adding vintage synth sounds to your music production. You can use it for any genre or style that requires warm, rich and expressive synth sounds. Whether you want to create retro synth-pop, ambient soundscapes, cinematic scores or modern EDM, you will find something suitable in this library.

To use the library in your music production, you will need to load it as a plugin in your DAW or host software. You can do this by creating a new track or instrument channel and selecting Kontakt as the plugin. Then you can load any instrument from the library and record or sequence your MIDI notes as usual. You can also layer multiple instruments from different categories to create complex and interesting sounds.

You can also process and mix the sounds using your DAW's built-in effects or third-party plugins. For example, you can add reverb, delay, chorus, distortion or compression
