How to Use Everything in KONTAKT 7 | Native Instruments

[@LarsThompson-f2q]

Thanx a lot Brian....!! I`m 57 years old , still trying and learning to make "music" 🤭..greeting s from Germany . Very good job !!🤙

[@spartahill]

It's good to know that others like me (56 years old here) continue to expand their knowledge, specifically music, in this regard. Cheers!

[@LarsThompson-f2q]

@@spartahill Hey Mr. Hill🤝, finding time to exlore,practice getting to know hard and software ( Ableton live,Prefrences and set ups to make a sound come out !!😤🤣) is the hardest. Mo. - Fr. full time job. But if not making music...listening to it..a lot !!👍🎸🎹🎶. Take care !✌

[@crafty-wolf-music]

Glad to know I'm not the only one starting a late career in music even though I have been involved since the early 80s. Best of luck to you in your musical quest! Cheers!

lol lars youre so cute

[@bhavyac]

Native instruments out here giving high quality software along with high quality tutorials! No need to go to any other KZbin channel to learn this software. Wish all companies could do the same.

[@asirus]

Excellent tutorial. No BS, straight to the point, no ads!!!! Thank you. 💜

[@jazzheadgmail2490]

Great tutorial. Very focused, no wasted time, great audio, well scripted, no bs, just good solid working information on a complex app. Well done man.

Hello i buy Kontakt 7 I don’t see all my library somebody can help me please

[@dee_jay_knight]

Incredible session from Brian - please much more like this, use Brian for individual lessons on the Komplete instruments! Other NI presnters should note Brians calm style!

[@AiMusicPioneer]

Thanks a lot, Brian.🤞 Everything is understandable. An Oscar should be given to you for such a video.👍👏👏

[@JAZZER5]

This is easy to follow teaching along with a clearly visible screen. Thank you.

[@michelleparsons9881]

I'm 56 and learning to play Piano and Synth, Looking forward to diving into this. a very smart purchase....😁

[@bobinscotland]

I must have tried over a dozen tutorials, but every time I listened for a few minutes, the voice or the presentation was simply not helpful in retaining the information. Thank you for taking the time to present yours at a nice pace with the right tone of presentation while educating without ever being boring. I'm already looking for more content from you. Cheers.

[@asentoni]

This was brilliant. I was so intimidated by Kontakt 7; it's my first full Kontakt that I've bought, having only used the Kontakt Player before. I'm stunned by everything I've learned in just this hour - suddenly a new world of sound has opened! Things I had no idea Kontakt could do! Thank you so much, Brian! I'll be coming back to this frequently, until I get more accustomed to everything I can do.

[@IvanKhokhryakov-s8g]

Brian, you are a great teacher. All the content of Kontact 7 perfectly and simply to the point. I have saved the video to refer back to again and again. Looking forward to the next tutorial.

[@crafty-wolf-music]

Thanks Brian! You are a NI genius and your tutorials are so concise and clear. Thanks for running us through this information, the sections on "how to set up" multi's, instruments, banks, and quick loads is going to be immeasurable helpful.

[@StratsRUs]

Well said.This clarity is what everyone should be aiming for.

[@bahgo]

If you listened for 1 minute to each of the 85,000 presets, it would take 2 months non-stop to hear them all.

[@MARS-GREENH0USE]

My next live stream

[@SpicyViolinist]

If it took you an entire minute to decide if you like a sound then you probably shouldn't be creating music lol

[@kristianalexanderpedersen7382]

cool answer@@SpicyViolinist

[@enlypremium]

Each preset is only 3 seconds long. What do you do with the remaining 57 seconds? 😅😵‍💫

[@bahgo]

For the oh-so-clever replies, my point here is "Option paralysis".

[@elvigilante6116]

I came looking for copper and I found gold, please, continue with the how to use series, I´m looking forward for massive and reaktor lessons, 😈 big thanks Brian and NI. 😃

[@DanielWhitehead1134]

Nice tutorial! I have barely used Kontakt so far, but this makes manipulating so much easier. Instead of just poking around to see what I can do, which is my normal MO, I can actually move around with a bit more confidence and purpose. Thank you!

[@MrChipsChile]

Brian, you are a GREAT teacher, nice quick, simple and to-the-point explanation, well prepared and very easy to follow and understand! I would love to see more tutorials made by you... Congrats!

[@MrPauldrago]

Finally - A great instructional video for NI. Just loaded 7 and the improvements are awesome. Using this software?, the best in instruments, I advise watching the entire video.

[@newz-tube]

Thank you for this clear and useful tutorial. I've used Kontakt over 2 years now. In one short video I've gone from being intimidated by all the functions of the header section to "oh, I get it" and looking forward to using more of the features. Cheers!

[@NativeInstruments]

Glad to hear our tutorial helps. 😇

[@yoelwww]

Every company should make videos like these

[@supareelsmusic9415]

Brian , I have been refusing to use so many great things that Kontakt ( In various forms ) has because I just didn't understand the higher levels of use, and I did try hard. This instruction vid must have taken lots of thought and I am very grateful for the work you guys put into it. There are so many vids, tripping over themselves, to explain how to land a spaceship in Kontakt ... you have made this flight engineer (read songwriter) so much more confident, I may be able to write a best seller LOL Very big thanks again

[@Lol_Pig]

Thank you for making this video!!! Sorta new to Kontakt, but never really took advantage of what it truly offers. Being the visual learner that I am, this helped tremendously

[@brucewang5073]

Really Awesome tutorials! Looking foward to the next episode of this Kontakt 7 series, such as how to create our own instrument, instead of manipulating the existing licensed instrument library. Thanks!

[@chuckcurrier1686]

Wow, just starting out in Kontakt - I learned so much by this video! Will watch it again as it covers a lot of practical ground. Very well taught!

[@studio56grand]

very well explained, bravo...…. your tonality and expression very effective, you should come out with more tutorials

[@marcellob.8893]

What a great tutorial, clear, calm and concise. Good job NI and Brian!

[@timhunter6254]

This is a FANTASTIC tutorial Brian, thank you so much for putting it together. You made the process so easy and I learned so much!

[@i-saac6738]

really great, very precise and clear explanation on a program that is gorgeous. time to make more 😁

[@ramabay]

This is the video I was waiting for all my life (well my NI Life, means since 2015). Thanks a lot.

[@chazzd813]

DUDE thanks!!!!! You took me to school on Kontakt!! Thank you for making it simple!

[@hertzouttahell]

kontakt 7 is really a step forward. great job NI

[@peterradd6836]

THIS . . is how tutorials should be made. Organized / to the point / does exactly what the title says.

[@dermotmcdermot3995]

Agreed. Especially if you enjoy talking heads and repetition.

[@gonzaloreyesj]

Great video Brian. I'm using Kontakt 7 from first time and I learn a lot with this video. Thanks

[@ianorigbo7617]

Love Native instruments. This tutoria has Shown what I actually needed. Very nice!!

[@lovestreaming]

Wow! What an extremely informative and inspiring quality video 😊 I have been using Kontakt for a long time, but there is so much to learn in this tutorial that I will need to watch it multiple times. Thank you so much! Best regards, Erik

[@bondmus]

Brian, that is one of the best how-to-use videos I've seen. The new browser took me a minute to learn; I can't imagine not having it, especially with all the latest instruments available. My confusion was creating a multi-instrument. When loading the first instrument, the instrument header showed the snapshot view, and it didn't occur to me to click the Info button to set my multi-instrument outputs.

[@craigolsen612]

So detailed...thank you! I finally know my way around Kontakt after all of these many years! Thank you for putting this together for us!

[@yanisleyd]

Wonderful teacher. Thank you for the clear explanations. Your voice is very soothing☺️

[@mudi2000a]

Very good tutorial. I thought I know how to use it but I get very useful information especially the multi output routing for a single instrument, I did not even know this is possible.

[@tommyandtammy1]

Best explenation of Kontakt on youtube, thanks and God Bless.

[@Purposemusique]

Oh my God thank you. I bought this last night and I just found out it’s manual contains around 300 pages! This video can be a good introduction though 👍🏻 Thanks NI

[@song23ministries]

Thanks Brian, I'm so encouraged! Great Job. Thanks for being so detailed in each section. Looking forward to more uploads.

[@ThisIsVersatile]

Brian definitely did a phenomenal job instructing! Made an hour of learning feel like a breeze! Keep up the great work! #ThatsMyWord

[@Scenekidz1990]

This was incredible! Thank you! I just recently bought Komplete Collectors Edition because I had a free version and I really liked the instruments I had and I wanted to get the other plugins like Ozone 10. I was having an issue when I got onto to play around with it, I had 2 different Kontakts in my folder I had Kontakt and Kontakt 7. When I loaded up Kontakt 7 I was only able to play the samples I didn't know how to navigate around but now I'm so excited to have found this video, it helped and made me feel dumb lol. Also I had no idea you could half of what was in this video, well worth the $900 I spent.

[@tornado7002]

Very professional and humble tutorial. Thank you Brian.

[@circumferencedetail]

I'm trying to get back into music production and have Komplete Ultimate 12. I never took the time to understand Kontakt but watching this video has been so helpful. Look forward to creating some cool sounding multi's.

[@NativeInstruments]

Welcome back 😎

Thank you for making it free, now I can make my own music for my YT videos

[@thehomienicked8208]

Kontakt 7 is amazing and this video is terrific as well. Such a clear explanation of so many different concepts. I love the Maschine videos too for the same reason! Wonderful teachers.

[@battledj2933]

Sure if it's works, standalone 7 won't start, but VST is working fine 🙂

[@vidworxsfx]

@@battledj2933 exactly and for many it will not please see my post above. make sure you and anyone who has this issue get them to fix said issues. Who cares how good it may be if the system that installs and runs it does not work as it should. Older versions work fine never had an issue until now.

[@battledj2933]

@@vidworxsfx Indeed, in Komplete you open for example Playbox, on my komplete S49 keyboard screen the logo Kontakt 7 is showing, while Kontakt (6) is running in Komplete 😀 And Playbox is a Kontakt 7 instrument if i am not wrong 🤔 Native Access 2 is also... nevermind 😂

@@NativeInstruments I did and heard zero till today. Note: its not just my issues its issues that span back months and a lot of others have had the exact same issues. That should tell you there are problems that must be fixed on your end as they still exist in 3.0.1 as well.

Great overview - really took a lot of mystery out of the functionality!

[@fabiansmith5860]

Thanks Brian. You're a great tutor.

[@litbitstudio1413]

These tutorials are very helpful, thank you! I was hoping you'd touch on customising NI and non-NI device midi knobs, sliders and buttons to connect to instrument controls, and saving those MIDI settings for easy re-use or even default use with specific instruments/banks/multis.

[@fredrikjonasson6145]

it has open up a new world for me, many thanks

[@champnessjack1154]

I'm running my first instance of the Kontakt 7 plugin in Logic. The interface looks very different from what Brian shows here. No "main control panel" at top left. I'm feeling my way and can kind of guess where things are, and the video is helpful for that, but I'm feeling a major case of Lost In Translation.

[@wiseoldfool]

Wow! I had no idea what a powerful tool Kontakt 7 is. Great tutorial.

[@zofo264]

[@BartillaAndPartners]

[@romanokoenmusic]

Hi there. Great lesson. I appreciate that you made it and I will return to this video to lock in my understanding of the updates to Kontakt. I love the new library layout and it's features but I kept instinctively wanting the old library layout back for the workflow I got used to over the years. It's great that I can switch between the two layouts as I ween myself off the old layout and get onto the new one.

[@ewa_mbu]

this was great, definitely want to come back to it and follow along!👍🏿
