Does NI Offer Any Sample Playback Apps?

KingKonga

I hope I'm writing this in the proper sub-forum, but is there any reason why NI doesn't provide a big sample-playback app, as opposed to all the synth programs I see. I mean, I just saw the ad where they're promoting 50% off on all their synths, but when I went looking for a simple playback app I couldn't find one. Am I missing something?

Thanks.

You obviously missing Kontakt, which is a complete sampled base instrument with endless gigabytes of libraries, Either that, either i didn't understood your question. :-)

Yes, you certainly are missing something - although weirdly you posted in the Kontakt area…

Thanks to both of you. I was under the impression that Kontakt 7 was really just a shell that loaded other NKS apps with specific purposes, and I just typically don't use the synth-based apps. And what ones I DO use are plentiful in SO6.6. However, the Kontakt Factory Library 2 is much closer to what I was looking for. I was also quite interested in the guitar strumming utilities. I have the AAS Strum now, that's pretty good, but I'd be curious to find out exactly how to use those. Meaning, do you create the strum articulations the same way in Session Gtrist-Electric Mint as I would in the AAS Strum? Does Electric Mint have better playing options? How would you explain the differences between the 2?

Thanks,

KC

Actually, this is Komplete Kontrol :-)

Ah, that explains it!

Maybe there should be some kind of indicator on a post after it's been moved, or a comment from a mod, so us mere mortals can see what's happened…

(There might be some interface differences due to the use of different version of Kontakt but not sure ?)

Session Gtrist-Electric Mint , AAS Strum , How would you explain the differences between the 2?

For Session Guitarist-Electric Mint manual links then look at the AT A GLANCE section part of page here (page bottom).

Generally though then the use of Kontakt libraries depends on the design of the specific 'Kontakt instrument'.
