in Kontakt

New to the Kontakt platform, starting out with Komplete 15 and Kontakt 8. In some of the demos on YouTube, drum loops seem to start nicely in sync with playing an instrument. Can that be done in Kontakt? For example, in this demo at 14:40 the drum loops just starts right along with the keys. How is this set up within Kontakt 8?

    Hello,

    in this case it was the other way around, the loop was in background and the new phrase tool played in sync to the host. But you can do that in kontakt 8 for sure like this:

    or you use the new leap, by selecting loops and load a loop from here or press F10 for the classic view, then you have a file browser on the left side, now you can browse your own samples from there and normally it detects the bpm perfectly.

    here at around 18:34 you get an good overview of the new leap player
