Record in Kontakt player

tomahawk

Hi, I just installed my old Berlin Concert Grand Library and Kontakt Player on my M2 Mac Monterey. I just want to play and simply record the audio. I can not find a record button. The most simple thing Kontakt player does not even have?

I know some will say it needs logic or who knows what, install this install that then conect this connect that etc. etc. Way too complicated just to play a little.

I really do not want to install any daw or anything else, just simply record. I tried output to blackhole and record in any little audio recording software while it mirrors to the audio output but long latency makes this unusable - really latency? like 20 years ago? Come on!

Can not believe we have 2023 and record audio with a software piano still needs a ton of work??

(Sorry its late and I am tired)

With full Kontakt there is a Session Recorder script in the presets. It doesn't sync to anything. You need to be able to edit the instrument to get to the Script page.

Hey @tomahawk Kontakt Player doesn't have an audio recording function because it's designed to be used within a DAW.

Not the solution you're looking for but you can run the audio out of your audio interface into an external software or hardware audio recorder perhaps?

But the Session Recorder script will record. I was using it one day about 10 years ago and recorded a whole song on piano using it.
