NI Kontakt Tutorial: Creating Expressive Instruments from Samples

[@JuanMariaSolare]

I'm impressed of your didactic abilities. I've learned a lot, and not only what I was looking for.

[@tomelwich49]

Your pacing on this is so good...keep up these great classes!

[@nayaent]

UVE JUST COMPLETELY SHOWN ME EVERYTHING I WANTED TO KNOW. EVERYTHING I DO IN NNXT IN 1 TUTORIAL...... KEY MAPPING, LOOPING SLICES AND WERE ALL THE PITCH MODULATION AND FILTERS WERE... I NOW LOVE U.

[@dani-dez]

You have opened wide new approaches to me. Grateful!

[@MrVectorEq]

best tutorial i've seen on production so far :) can't wait till kontakt arrives in 3 days! thanks alot man

[@yvesduke]

man, this is crazy. best staff ever

[@jayshalfbakedvideos]

Thanks, this is the best NI support yet

[@exoltik3199]

This tool is a godsend for granular synthesis and sampling. :)

[@JuiceboxDesmond]

This is the best W ever sounded.

[@TheSoundCenter]

Great! Totally my kind of stuff. I wish I had seen this video months ago!

[@lyteyearz5810]

That beat is awesome and thanks so much for the tut!

[@stevenv27]

This is good, man! Really helped me understand Kontakt better

[@alterpathmusic]

This is top! 100% wat I was looking for

[@DaZeDmerlin]

Same here!

[@TruthSurge]

11:40 you could have clicked the 4.00 in tuning and typed in the .1 or .23 whatever you wanted so you don't have to go under the hood for fine tuning! Man, this tutorial was exactly what I was looking for. I'm pretty new to kontakt so I was thinking of one thing in particular that I'm sure can work now. If you have a strings patch loaded, you should be able to use a controller to fade in some vibrato. I don't know exactly how yet but this vid gives me some clue now at least. Thanks a lot!!!

[@sjiekesjit]

Excellent placement of Bill & Ted reference. Peace!

[@Andrew_Renko]

Great tutorial! Thank you!

[@JAWDEATHSTAR]

I love Dubspot...I wish I could go there

[@mrevansutton]

@jchanman911 yes you can! Kontakt will open as a VST in Live, and all the same rules apply.

[@benbainbridge]

Nice tut man thanks Learned something here

[@trackmusic252]

I'm lost did you just take a wav file and make a new instrument. I really need to know because I tried running kontakt 5.7.0

[@skiing54]

I never knew George Bucsh sounded that good!

[@mrevansutton]

@pablo12co yes. In this case, we're using some basic principles of granular synthesis to break the link between pitch and time in our sample.

[@CubeableGame]

Kontakt is in fact, a virtual synthesizer. A sequencer is needed to load Kontakt like Cubase or Logic. As for your organ, the only way to use it with Kontakt, is as a MIDI controller. If it's an analog only organ it cannot be used, unless you have an advanced sound card. Analog instruments however, are superior to any digital clone and I do encourage the use of analog equipment in music.

[@AndyHallHall]

great video man! Thank you

[@MusicWithMyFriends]

Great tut, kudos

[@marchettinho]

Nice, thanks for the class.

[@omnivorace]

[@skiing54]

GEORGE BUSCH!!! Nice tutorial! DO more NI Komplete videos!!!

[@C-qnz]

great video, cheers. will check out the other vids as well

[@TheBassAvenger]

Coolest thing I've ever seen!

[@fishybishbash]

11:30 NB if you hold shift and click and turn the tune knob you will get subdivisions of a semitones -

[@AndyDrudy]

Thankyou SO MUCH for that. !!!

[@Hundred100]

this is so cool， big thanks for sharing man

[@LaymensLament]

dope tutorial

[@lileeelijah1266]

great tutorial thank you!

[@jo2305]

To be able to make use of most of NI's programs (such as kontakt), do I need a midi keyboard or can I simply use my computer keyboard?

[@jkenndy36]

I keep getting the piano sound while I'm playing the sample. How Do I Take out the piano sound do I just hear the sample?

[@TruthSurge]

Well, of course I couldn't find a way to link an LFO to the mod wheel or joystick so that when I push the controller (joystick) up, it brings in the LFO modulation. I could only get the LFO to fade in automatically after X ms. :( How can I tell kontakt to LINK the new LFO modulator to my mod wheel or joystick? Thanks, Tim

[@kettlebellheaven6756]

Right click the knob or control click for Mac, pick midi learn and then move the knob on the controller you want to control the knob you right clicked (or control clicked)

[@TruthSurge]

Kettlebell Heaven made a note of that and when I finally GET a new keyboard controller, I'll try it. sold my M1 b4 getting something else and having to try two controllers to see what keys i like best. should get this launchkey soon and I'll see how it feels. i have the impulse but keys are just too stiff for me. i'm sure they feel great to most people but... i'm not most people. hehe thanks!

[@kettlebellheaven6756]

It works. I am always afraid to push a button unless I know what it does. Afraid I'll muck it up forever. Midi learn is the way.

[@TruthSurge]

Kettlebell Heaven I hope this launchkey has soft keys. The impulse looks and feels amazing except the keys to me are a tad hard to push but I like them really light cuz I'm a guitarist with crap fingertips from injuries so I need them light. I should get it maybe Monday and whatever, I'll find one that works for me and see what I can figure out. Just thought that some violin parts could use a controlled vibrato. I mean, fading in vibrato is a crucial part of a lot of strings playing and it amazes me that I never saw that implemented until Spitfire Audio's Sable strings library. I keep thinking it's 2013. hahah thanks.

[@PicturesLegit]

Kettlebell Heaven if you start a project/instrument with no intention to actually make an instrument, but with the intention to first see what you come up with, and second, to see what each button does, then you'll learn a lot very quickly.

[@MeowfaceMusic]

But can these created sample instruments be saved as a VST library (easily, without coding)? My goal is to create new instruments that can be performed in the playback of notation programs like Sibelius, Finale and Notion.

[@camfre4k]

How do I edit zones individually ? I’m thinking about if I Chop up a Vocal samle with the grid in kontakt. Then i get like 5 seperate zones, and I want to edit them individually, but everytime I try to edit one, all of the other zones gets edited AS well ? What is wrong

[@studiomax8311]

VERY GOOD YOUR WORK HELPS PEOPLE A LOT !!! GOD ALWAYS BLESS YOU MY FRIEND !!! IF YOU ACCEPT A SUBJECT THAT IS ANOTHER REQUEST. MAKE A VIDEO TEACHING HOW TO MAKE A LOOP INSTRUMENT IN KONTACT WHEN I DO WHEN SAVE IT ALWAYS REPEAT MSM LOOP ON ALL WAVES !!! AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SOLVE THIS COULD HELP ME PLEASE !!! THANK YOU IMMEDIATELY !!!

[@phat111]

I jus bought a sample pack for Kontakt and was hoping to get the audio files onto some of my instruments... specifically an OP-1. The files are in RAR. and I was wondering if there’s a way of exporting them via Kontakt? Can anyone help me please! Thanks.

[@Geniusderelict]

you are awesome !

[@joet1019]

Best tutorial I've ever seen. Worst beat I've ever heard...torn.

[@Snipertarget1]

How to use this kontakt? I just downloaded one but i don't know how to use it with my organ.

[@fargenamps]

cool vid..thx for this!!!!

[@karlhans6678]

How do we add StandAlone native instruments to Kontakt?

[@happystudio1]

hi guys...can somebody please help me with this question please...i would like to know how to open a sample in kontakt 4...lets say a vengeance sample...and i want that sample to have the same duration for example in miliseconds across my whole keyboard...ive noticed that when i open my vengeance samples in kontakt 4 that they speed up the higher i go from bass to treble...low to high whatever you want to call it...isnt it possible to have the same articulation or speed no matter which key i press?is it something to do with key follow or key track or something along those lines??please help thankyou

[@SnoopDong666]

I just had the same problem like an hour ago aha. Just load the mp3s on your DAW then export them as Wav files. Or just convert mp3s to Wav. You can load Wav files like a champ.

[@BIGSABMUSIC]

why is it saying demo on my patch?

[@ErikSpott]

And party on dudes!

[@hoodstockreligiontv]

When I do this Kontakt change into demo version.

[@segefjord]

Hello! This is because you're using the Kontakt Player version which is free - you need paid version to do this.

[@hoodstockreligiontv]

Is there any other solution? I mean it's possible in Ableton and any other DAW but Native Instruments. It sucks that the products of Native Instruments costs a lot of money for every little feature other DAWs have.

[@1kingstan795]

I had to pause and laugh about the witness protection program be a minute or so .....yeah I'm goofy like that lol

[@arranger1977]

9 years later and ni kontakt's gui is very too small on my 4k monitor.

[@ARNAYBEK]

👍👍👍

[@gonzagaribotti9852]

why would i want sampling bush

[@TonyCagnoni]

also ableton live

[@rafiwel]

i love you

[@VTPproduckshunEN]

at least one thing politicians are good for :)

[@alphasxsignal]

I would just sample it in my Kronos and is alot faster.

[@madbasementlab]

oh crap i have no analog instruments or hardware lol

[@AClarke2007]

You could just use a bad contact.

[@zarrir]

Thumbs down for not showing how to save the instrument

[@xxAbcelxx]

I thought it was Obama for a sec.

[@lordshiva83]

Who knew George W Bush had such beautiful, natural harmonics lol still a horrible president tho lol

[@totstoybox]

sounds shite, GL
