Thanks for watching, and letting me know you like the track. It was just something I whipped up quickly for the demo. So no finished track unfortunately.
This is so good. After watching so many tutorials I really appreciate you take the time to write and edit what you're saying. Most channels "wing it" and ramble and repeat themselves. Winging it is fine, but they don't edit any of the repetitive or useless info out of their videos. What you're doing is next level and I appreciate you so much.
Thanks for seeing exactly what I'm trying to do. There's a couple of big philosophies behind this channel: 1. Tutorials should be as concise as possible so music-makers can get back to music. 2. Tutorials should be so and effective that one video should be all you need on a given topic. For my channel to meet those goals, there needs to be a ton of preparation behind each video. I still have a long way to go, but that's pretty much why I started this channel.
@@ThisIsOnesto Right on! You're doing great. The other reasons tutorials are ideally concise is that quite often you have to watch several videos to find one answer. Scrubbing through fluff isn't great. Thanks again!
Thanks really appreciate it. Been using various versions on and off for a few years just to play instruments but never explored it much beyond that. You've got me interested now...
@@ThisIsOnesto I also wanted to say that I love the pace and delivery style of your video. I have absolutely tons of plugins, from multiple manufacturers, including kontakt, all running through Presonus Professional 6. But.. I have never recorded a track (yet). I got all this stuff, simply because it sounds great and I love playing my keyboards. For me that is enjoyment enough... Thanks again and keep up the good work.
Of course! Thanks for the feedback on the format of my videos. It's something I put a lot of time in preparing and shaping. And I think the way you're engaging music with music is great. Enjoying music is can be the hardest goal to achieve sometimes, but the way you're enjoying it sounds like a lot of fun.
That's so good to hear! Thanks for the feedback. Kontakt can be really confusing for first time users, but hopefully you can dive right in and have fun
Nice video. Ive never understood why Kontakt is called a sampler since it doesnt sample. Its just a sample player. The original hardware samplers were way more useful because you could actual sample with them and then manipulate what youve sampled or resampled.
I get what you're saying. Kontakt hasn't done the best job describing what it can do and who it's actually for. For the longest time it was just "the plugin I have to use to play that piano I like". Kontakt can't record samples but it can edit samples to build out sample libraries. However, a tiny percentage of Kontakt users actually build out their own sample libraries. The rest of us will always use it as just a sample player. Thanks for watching!
@@ThisIsOnesto Yeah I completely agree. The versions of Kontakt are 1) Sample player with restricted library access 2) Sample player with full library access. It would be great to add a version of Kontaky that actually did sampling, resampling and massive mashups of samples. Then I think it could confidently say its a sampler. Theres still something very weird about the UI of Kontakt for me. Harks back to the early days of weird interfaces that NI brought out.
Same, only wondering why it’s called eggplant when it’s no an egg, or why is it called grapefruit when there’s a fruit called grape already 😖mince pie doesn’t have mince in it😤 also if the teacher taught how comes the preacher didn’t praught?😮 if Geese is the plural of Goose why how comes Meese isn’t the plural of Moose?also why sneak has two past tenses?
I can't believe that I have been using the stuff for decades and never knew what the purge button did. I always figured it was something pretty important seeing how it is front-and-center at the top of the control section. I also wrongly assumed it was for some complicated setups that I never used. I wish that I had known sooner that it was as useful as it really is. I'm kind of surprised that it doesn't have some sort of tooltip that pops up and tells you what it does whenever you hover over top of it. I'm guessing that it probably does but it's some settings buried in preferences and turned off by default. Something that I'm trying to figure out now is is it actually possible to send audio through kontakt and use the effects section on certain patches as audio effects. I have a real organ and I would love to be able to record the real organ and then send it through the Leslie effect that is on the built-in organ inside one of the standard libraries because I have several other Leslie effects through different guitar processors and whatnot but none of them act like a real Leslie as far as the rise and fall characteristics whenever you hit the button the switch between fast and slow but the one inside of kontakt does.
Yeah that purge button is such a key part of using Kontakt. I think in the past on older machines, it was something you probably didn't want to always use. But with how fast files can upload now, it seems like it should be a default setting. Glad you can keep purging those samples!
Amazing video bro. One question: How do you get to the screen in 3:08? I've been trying to set three or four instrument like that with no luck! Please help!
Let me try to help you! I think what you need to do is open up an instance of Kontakt. Then select an instrument to load. Then load up another another instrument and you'll see that get loaded right below it. And you can keep continuing to do that if you'd like. Hope that helps!
Oh yeah, I hate long videos. I even hate it when my videos feel too long. Thanks for watching, and so happy that this video could get the job done so quickly.
Nice walkthrough. Have 6 and honestly didn’t know what purge did, and it’s definitely helped with my Output libraries. One thing I haven’t found though is a way to have this happen automatically in preferences when I load an instrument, so I’m not having to do it every time. Same with the View menu - a way to save in preferences my preferred view (ie edit view).
Purge is so incredible to use, it took me way to long to figure that out. I do wish there was a way to set this up automatically, especially if you have a machine that can handle big kontakt libraries. I could imagine an update allow that in the future, hopefully soon. Now that I'm thinking about it, I remember seeing a way to make purging a "default" but it seemed pretty complicated that I didn't bother remembering.
Your videos are SOOO good. Such a pleasant demeanor and succint info to help you decide. Now I'm searching for the best SSD to load all my Kontact Instruments too! Thanks Onesto.
Thanks so much for the feedback! It means a ton. My goal is simply to make the best music production tutorials possible, so good to know that already are working. For SSDs, if it's going to stay at your desk, I've been really happy with the Samsung T7 or T9. Both are great. However if you plan on traveling with it, you can get a cheap case for it that gives it some protection from falls and bumps.
Onesto, i love that track you played in this vid. Great job! Also, purge info was the bomb! Never used it before. Thanks for the quick tutorial. I'll be looking at all your NI tutorials. Blessings
Please keep using that purge button tip. Your RAM will thank you. And thanks for watching, and to be honest I'm surprised I had that little demo in me!
It took me years to learn about that purge button too. Now that a lot of computers are really fast, I'm wondering if the purge button will become somewhat of a default option. And thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching! That’s a good question, when you get Kontakt 7 installed, you do not need to uninstall Kontakt 5 or 6. But I think it could be a good idea if you don’t plan on using Kontakt 5 or 6. I uninstalled my old Kontakt’s because I like Kontakt 7 so much more.
What an incredibly helpful video. The "single instance" use VS multi use was something I would have figured out much faster if I had watched this. Great video. If you're watching... I have full Kontakt 6 already and indeed use it extensively, and I must admit the new interface actually appeals to these "old" eyes of mine. With my upgrade price being much cheaper than full, would recommend the upgrade?
Hey, thanks for watching and it's great to hear that this video could be so useful. The difference between Kontakt 6 and 7 is mostly in the user interface and with the new Factory instruments that come with 7. I do think the interface is much better, and the new instruments that I used did sound good enough and solid. So if those are important enough for you then consider it. For me, if I didn't plan on buying anything else during the holiday sales I would upgrade Kontakt because it's fun to buy stuff during the Black Friday sale, but if you're trying to decide between upgrading Kontakt or buying something else you're really interested, I would probably go with the other thing.
Hey, even for us "old hats", the discussion of single-instance vs. multis is still valuable. Thanks to Onesto's video, I don't have to feel guilty doing it either way. I can pick the way I want to on that day or with that project, and put the rest of it out of my mind.
Great video definitely very helpful. I have though one huge problem with KONTAKT 7 I use it in VE Pro for my template and every time I open the project the volume and the pan are completely to the LEFT any idea how can I resolve it without redoing the whole template.
One thing I didnt like about Kontakt was the lack of resizable screen - it was practically unusable on 4k monitors. I heard this one now has a fully resizeable gui - how has the experience been with that?
The resizeable GUI has been stable so far. The thing that now bugs me is that Kontakt Libraries are sometimes at different widths. But I would say it's now usable on 4k monitors.
I don’t have a 4K screen, but from the complaints in the Native Instruments forum, it appears that the fonts and UI elements do not scale. In other words, you can expand the window, but the type is still barely readable. Also, because the custom UIs for most libraries are built using bitmapped graphics, they do not resize with the window. There is a new Native UI with Kontakt 7, but only the new Factory Library uses it. All of your legacy libraries will have to be updated. Particularly for third party libraries, there’s no telling when or if this will happen. So, if a scalable UI is important to you, I’d wait until the libraries you want to use have been updated.
What a horrible thing for Native Instruments to do. I just purchased Kontakt 7 and get a black screen when trying to open it. After research It is said that was needed is a special driver to use it Direct3D 11.1 This should have been in big bold letters on their website, I would have passed on the purchase. I did not see this info on the website. Now I guess that I have to buy a new graphics card for my PC Computer. Is there a workaround?
I just refreshed my memory about Komplete Now and I think it's best for someone who's curious about NI products. I wouldn't get the year subscription, instead I'd try it out for 2 or 3 months, and if you're really liking it, start to ease your way in with Komplete Select or Komplete Standard. And when it comes to Kontakt and Komplete Now, you'll get access to a lot of good beginner Kontakt Libraries from NI. And of course you can download the Free version of Kontakt in the meantime too.
Hey great video, as someone who doesn't really own any other Kontakt instruments at the moment, do you think it's worth getting Kontakt 7 for the Factory Library 2? Are people actually using the factory library for production?
That's a great question. I do come across producers who use Factory Library 2 presets. A lot of times, it's used as a "raw" sound that is transformed from effects. So the sound isn't really used for its high fidelity but rather as a string or guitar that will become something that is string-ish or guitar-ish. If the sound is gonna be front is center, or you want it to sound very realistic, you'll probably want to look into Kontakt libraries. Based on your question, if you're new to Kontakt, especially music production, I would stick with the Factory sounds. It's a great starting point. And there's a chance that the presets in there are exactly what you need for now. And it's possible that the genre of music you want to make is perfect for those stock presets. And then sometimes a song needs a sound that's more polished and realistic. If you have any more questions let me know, hope this helps!
Hey! That's the goal of every video on this channel. If someone is gonna trust me with a few minutes of their time, I want to make sure that I deliver. That means making these video as effective as possible in the shortest amount of time. Thanks for watching, appreciate the comment!
Why does my Kontakt 7 not have the drop down tabs at the top? It only says file, library, and view. No workspace management or and of the other drop down tabs
That answer mostly depends on what kind of Kontakt libraries you plan to use. If you have libraries that require the full version than Kontakt 6 is what you'll use. In your case I would use Kontakt 6 since it's the full version and you won't run into any limitations with the Player version
You may have missed the link in the description. Here's the playlist I put together: ua-cam.com/play/PLHQ_I1uNdUgndmDVz8xsDKSgCAaf3SDBP.html&si=KmKx3dYdCZOO3qyo
Great! so happy this video could help. Kontakt's a weird one to understand, but once you get it, you're good. Hope you make use of some of the tips in the video!
Very well explained and presented how to use this program. A few months ago I installed kontakt 7 but for some time it seems like it doesn't work, the word demo is displayed in red 🤔
Thanks! Glad the video was clear in explaining things. As for your issue, I have no idea how to help but I found this post on the NI forum that hopefully helps: community.native-instruments.com/discussion/6646/kontakt-7-demo-issues
Onesto thanks for your work. I have a question probably stupid but here goes: I want to play my Yamaha keyboard using better piano/keyboard sound than is incoprorated in the unit. I don't wish to edit record simply get better sound ...is this software something I should explore? Thanks in advance for your response? L
That’s not a stupid question at all. I know exactly what you’re trying to go for. Before you consider this software, make sure that you can connect your Yamaha Keyboard to your computer via USB or USB C. It can also connect via MIDI but you’ll need a dongle to connect to your computer. If you can’t connect your Yamaha, then you’ll want to consider a MIDI keyboard. They can be pretty affordable. I would check out Arturia’s Keylab Essential (more bells and whistles) or M-Audio (less bells and whistles). And when it comes to software, with what you’re trying to do, here are three options. If you have a Mac, I would first check out MainStage. It’s $30 and you’ll get a lot of great sounds. If MainStage doesn’t interest you, then go ahead and check out Kontakt (if your budget is tight, make sure you get it on sale). Kontakt will have a lot of stock sounds that are solid. And a free option is to look into Spitfire Audio’s Labs. Here you’ll find a lot of good free sounds. However, you’ll need to use a DAW (digital audio workstation). Which is a whole other thing, but you can find some good free options like GarageBand or Reaper. Hopefully this helps, and thank for watching!
@@ThisIsOnesto Thanks very much for your response. Yes the P145 Yamaha connects to my laptop Win 11 so I will explore your concise and clear recommendations with thanks! L
So when using it for multiple libraries in one instance of Kontakt--as I always have in the past, I have to ask why did they make it so easy to erase everything you already have loaded into your "window," you have to be really careful adding new samples or it wipes out everything you've loaded already. I guess some of this is due to various different brands that don't react the same way? But I kind of think it's mostly Kontakt's fault. I didn't ever has this problem with the previous Kontakts.
Hey Louis, that’s a great question. The easiest way to do that is to open up Native Access, find and click the library you want to install, and look for either a “uninstall library” button, or there will be a “how to uninstall” link that will show you how to manually uninstall Kontakt libraries.
The first vid that gives me the understanding that Kontakt and Kontakt 7 (player) when loaded in Logic are different. Most vids don't explain that if you want to have multiple instruments loaded with access to separate midi and audio out you need Kontakt, not player! When I then load my version it doesn't allow me to use certain instruments as it's out of date! Am I right in thinking this is a way to get you to upgrade?
You got it, glad this video can help! And you're right, that's one of the benefits of upgrading. I would say that the bigger benefit is getting access to licensed and unlicensed Kontakt Libraries. The unlicensed libraries are often pretty cheap, and sometimes even free. Anyways, thanks for watching!
It's kind of both haha. From my experience, it depends on which version of Kontakt was used to make the Kontakt Library. So if a Kontakt Library was made with 7.5, then it is compatible for version 7.5 and newer. I'd be sure to check the product page to see which version of Kontakt it is compatible with.
Question I cant seem to get Native Instruments to answer. Can you play Kontakt stand alone for an indefinite time like 3 hours non stop? Mine times out at 2hrs at first then 30mins. I then have to restart or click the panic ! button on interface. Please help. Anybody.
You got it! To the point and resourceful is always what I'm aiming for with these videos. I pretty much started this channel because I kept getting frustrated with videos that would confuse me even more or feel like I wasted my time. I still have a lot to learn, but so happy to hear that you found this video helpful!
Need to know how to load multiple instruments at once. You only said you can do it. I will like you to show how it's done. Can you show how it's done? I'm having difficulties
Great video. Current issue I’m running into. I have Ableton Live 9, and just recently purchased Komplete 14 standard which includes Kontakt 7. I had Native Access install everything, but Kontakt 7 doesn’t show up in my plugins, however Kontakt Player 6 does as well as some of the other plugins I installed. All were installed in the same location so I’m not sure what’s happening. Can anyone help?
I have Komplete 14 Collector's Edition and a brand new S61 MK3. Now, I just need to learn how to use them. Ditto for Ableton Live 11 Suite. ... and a converted gaming PC with 256GB of RAM. (if i don't learn how to use them, some kid is going to get a sweet sweet deal... like on the Arturia Keylab88 MK3 of just sold for next to nothing.) My point in saying all of that? Find an old guy with money and chronic GAS but not much talent or patience.
I’m using an M1 Mac Mini from 2020. Nothing crazy. My experience with Kontakt Instruments is that they are memory (RAM) heavy more so than CPU heavy. I use 16GB of RAM and that’s been fine for my uses. You can also use the Purge tip from the video.
Is it possible to switch instruments using the computer keyboard in a own created instrument bank? - I don't want to use the mouse cursor because I play the digital saxophone and it is not practical.
I can't think of any way to switch instruments with a computer keyboard or hotkey. I do wonder if there's a way to switch using a MIDI controller with knobs or sliders. Wish I could help more!
@@ThisIsOnesto Of course, you can change instruments using a midi controller - just set the appropriate PC (program change) - I do this on pads, but I don't always have a controller with me and I would like to be able to switch it with the computer keyboard.
Buongiorno sempre molto interessante. Le chiedo un'informazione. Io uso il software maschine 2 e maschine plus come controller. Recentemente ho caricato Kontant factory library 2. ho notato che ci sono alcuni suoni, soprattutto quelli di voci e cori che suonati a una nota o più note il suono suona in contunuum e se aggiungo note si sommano sempre in continuum alle precedenti. Però così sono poco utilizzabili. è normale? come posso settarli come suono normale senza questo sustain infinito? Grazie, Luigi
Thx for the concise video. So rare, and very helpful! You respect peoples' time. I dig it! But I have a question. I've been searching through various vids, and haven't yet found an answer yet. Perhaps you can help: If I have the new Kontakt 7, do I still need to use the Komplete Kontrol Software, and if so, for what? I have Komplete 13, and a bunch of Spitfire Library's too. They're all NKS. Now the new Kontakt 7 has a new and improved library search function which, unless I'm missing something appears every bit as good (?) and functional as Komplete Kontrol, AND there is now a keyboard at the bottom to show key switches and ranges and such (was there before? - never saw it). So, do you think there is still any reason to run Kontakt inside Komplete Kontrol instead of using just instances of Kontakt in my tracks? I'm using Logic Pro X, btw. Thanks for your insights! Keep the short and sweet vids coming, much appreciated! PS: I have a KK keyboard controller, but mostly just look at my large monitor screen to choose patches (easier to see), and don't use any of this for live performance.
Thanks for the feedback and for checking out the channel! The thought of wasting people's time terrifies me, so I always make sure these videos get to the point. I'm in a similar scenario as you. I still choose to use Komplete Kontrol plugin for my Kontakt Libraries because of NKS. I love how NKS automatically maps out my KK controllers, I feel like it's more fun and quicker to change things on the fly. I don't use really use my keyboard to browse instruments and presets, I'll use my monitor for that. Although Kontakt 7's browser and plugin overall has a better UI, I still choose Komplete Kontrol due to the way it lets me tweak a library.
I have trouble connecting Kontakt to my Ableton, it only downloads as a standalone app and not as a VST3, and I have no way to get the two programs to communicate with eachother
So sorry about that! If you click the button right next to the Kontakt Logo, (it looks like a books on a book shelf) it should open up the side panel you’re referring to.
Hey guys! HOW DO REMOVE THE DEFAULT PAN IN KONTAKT? I have found it difficult to find information on this. Essentially, for example, if a key is played on the left, the instrument will sound louder on the left side of the headphones. The same goes for keys played on the right side, which makes the sound on the right headphone louder. How can I remove this effect so that is sounds centered and not based on key position? Thank you!
I am having an issue all of a sudden opening up kontakt in my daw. Every time I open it back up, it shows all my instruments using kontakt none of them will play without me unloading and loading back in the instrument which means it doesn’t save any of the changes I made on the instrument. Any reason it won’t load up ready to play? It even shows it’s playing on the meter but the sound isn’t playing until I load and unload it. A big hassle to do every time I open up my project to have to reload every single instrument.
Kontakt has been on my wishlist for years. A matter of time until I get it I suppose, because more often than not when I see an instrument with a great value for kontakt it turns up to be for the paid/full version (not for kontakt player) :/ Specially very interesting vocal libraries , etc. One of the very few plugins right now that make me feel like I'm really missing out. Love💙 edit: omg what's that piece that starts at around 3:36 ? is it part of a song of yours?
That's sort of why I would recommend getting the full version of Kontakt. For those libraries that require the full version. And I'm very proud to say that what you heard was a little something that I made. It's super pretty huh?! Making music has been a big struggle of mine. I just don't know what to make at times, it's been sort of an identity issue. I'm trying to figure out what kind of producer I am. But hearing that it made an impression on you, really helps. Thanks!
@@ThisIsOnesto omg you need to make that into a full song, I'm totally serious. One of the best pieces I've heard in a long time, that melody and vibe really resonate with me. I watch tons of anime and it reminds me of the overwhelmingly beautiful/emotional type of scenes. I'm serious, you really really should make a full song out of it. I can hear it in my head with some subtle drums/perc as a chilled/atmospheric-emotionally-intense kind of track. And if you feel indecisive about it or just want to collab I would absolutely love that.💙
@@HumanBeingWithFeelings thanks for all that praise. It really helps to know someone else sees the potential in things. A good friend of mine does a lot of scoring, so your encouragement is giving me the courage to nudge him to help me develop this further. Thanks a lot!
If you buy Komplete 14 Standard you get the full version of Kontakt 7. Another reason why Standard is the most popular Komplete 14 bundle. It really is a great value.
That's a good question. I would try clicking the options button near the top right corner. And then clicking the MIDI setting. This should be where you can set up your keyboard. I hope that helps!
One good trick i found out about Kontakt is if u Batch Re-Save a library it loads faster. But i dont know much about it, so if anyone know if it then takes up extra space lemme know pls
Yes! Batch Re-Save is another great way to get libraries to load faster. I only wanted to share 1 fast upload tip, and I decided to go with the purge tip. I actually don't know what if Batch Re-Save takes up extra space in your hard drive. I'm sure it does, but maybe not as much as the original library??
a real easier thing made possible with 7 version, is the ability to automatically load each instruments (multi inst preset) in omni mode..it's a real game changer
Thanks for this video. Native Instruments is a pain in the butt on tutorials. I just wrote them asking for help. All of their videos are still on version 6. And even your video is a year old and looks nothing like what I just downloaded today. Kontakt is $150 now and is completely useless if you don't know how to use it!
Kontakt can be a tricky one to understand. So I'm glad this video can help simplify what it does. I just put out a video on Komplete Kontrol since that's sort of hard to understand at first. Kontakt just got updated to Kontakt 7. It's mostly the same with some added UI updates. I think it's easier to browse and find sounds now. Thanks for watching!
Yes, your answer is much more precise and correct than mine! I think I just used the term sampler probably because I was just mistaken but also because it seemed easier for others to quickly understand. Thanks for the correction!
I will have to check if there is actually a free version. It looks very interesting and if everything I see in your video will work for me. It remains for me to thank you for the info and advice. 👍
Man that beat/track was chill and quite a tune. Got that finished somewhere? Great tut btw.
Thanks for watching, and letting me know you like the track. It was just something I whipped up quickly for the demo. So no finished track unfortunately.

Yeah that purge button is such a key part of using Kontakt. I think in the past on older machines, it was something you probably didn't want to always use. But with how fast files can upload now, it seems like it should be a default setting.

I think what you need to do is open up an instance of Kontakt. Then select an instrument to load. Then load up another another instrument and you'll see that get loaded right below it. And you can keep continuing to do that if you'd like.
Hope that helps!
About time
An actual video that's not 3 hours long to get point over
Oh yeah, I hate long videos. I even hate it when my videos feel too long. Thanks for watching, and so happy that this video could get the job done so quickly.
Nice walkthrough. Have 6 and honestly didn’t know what purge did, and it’s definitely helped with my Output libraries. One thing I haven’t found though is a way to have this happen automatically in preferences when I load an instrument, so I’m not having to do it every time. Same with the View menu - a way to save in preferences my preferred view (ie edit view).
Purge is so incredible to use, it took me way to long to figure that out.
I do wish there was a way to set this up automatically, especially if you have a machine that can handle big kontakt libraries. I could imagine an update allow that in the future, hopefully soon.
Now that I'm thinking about it, I remember seeing a way to make purging a "default" but it seemed pretty complicated that I didn't bother remembering.
What is the difference between Kontakt and Komplete Kontrol?
Your videos are SOOO good. Such a pleasant demeanor and succint info to help you decide. Now I'm searching for the best SSD to load all my Kontact Instruments too! Thanks Onesto.
Thanks so much for the feedback! It means a ton. My goal is simply to make the best music production tutorials possible, so good to know that already are working.
For SSDs, if it's going to stay at your desk, I've been really happy with the Samsung T7 or T9. Both are great. However if you plan on traveling with it, you can get a cheap case for it that gives it some protection from falls and bumps.
Onesto, i love that track you played in this vid. Great job! Also, purge info was the bomb! Never used it before. Thanks for the quick tutorial. I'll be looking at all your NI tutorials. Blessings
Please keep using that purge button tip. Your RAM will thank you. And thanks for watching, and to be honest I'm surprised I had that little demo in me!
@@ThisIsOnesto it was great!
man, I use Kontakt for ages and this is the first time I took notice of the Purge button :) .. also some other useful bits in here, thanks
It took me years to learn about that purge button too. Now that a lot of computers are really fast, I'm wondering if the purge button will become somewhat of a default option. And thanks for watching!
Glad to find your channel ... production and content superb ... looking forward to your videos ... "top shelf" ... !!
Thanks for watching and glad you're loving the channel!
Very nice video, complete. 1 question. Do you have to throw away Kontakt 5 and 6 wheat 7 is installed ? Thks for help.michel
Thanks for watching! That’s a good question, when you get Kontakt 7 installed, you do not need to uninstall Kontakt 5 or 6. But I think it could be a good idea if you don’t plan on using Kontakt 5 or 6. I uninstalled my old Kontakt’s because I like Kontakt 7 so much more.
What an incredibly helpful video. The "single instance" use VS multi use was something I would have figured out much faster if I had watched this. Great video. If you're watching... I have full Kontakt 6 already and indeed use it extensively, and I must admit the new interface actually appeals to these "old" eyes of mine. With my upgrade price being much cheaper than full, would recommend the upgrade?
Hey, thanks for watching and it's great to hear that this video could be so useful.
The difference between Kontakt 6 and 7 is mostly in the user interface and with the new Factory instruments that come with 7.
I do think the interface is much better, and the new instruments that I used did sound good enough and solid. So if those are important enough for you then consider it.
For me, if I didn't plan on buying anything else during the holiday sales I would upgrade Kontakt because it's fun to buy stuff during the Black Friday sale, but if you're trying to decide between upgrading Kontakt or buying something else you're really interested, I would probably go with the other thing.
Hey, even for us "old hats", the discussion of single-instance vs. multis is still valuable. Thanks to Onesto's video, I don't have to feel guilty doing it either way. I can pick the way I want to on that day or with that project, and put the rest of it out of my mind.
thank you so much man you've helped me a lot
@@massylsow2221 glad to hear it, I'm hoping to get a new video on Kontakt 8 in Jan. Anyways, thanks for watching.
your videos are popping up a lot lately when i search for stuff on youtube. that tells me something - consider me subscribed!
That means a lot. Seriously. Thanks for the sub, hope my channel can continue to help!
Great video definitely very helpful. I have though one huge problem with KONTAKT 7 I use it in VE Pro for my template and every time I open the project the volume and the pan are completely to the LEFT any idea how can I resolve it without redoing the whole template.
well said particularly Purge button utilization. 2nd method is very comfortable for middle and low end pc's especially memory utilization.
Hey, thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
One thing I didnt like about Kontakt was the lack of resizable screen - it was practically unusable on 4k monitors.
I heard this one now has a fully resizeable gui - how has the experience been with that?
The resizeable GUI has been stable so far. The thing that now bugs me is that Kontakt Libraries are sometimes at different widths. But I would say it's now usable on 4k monitors.
I don’t have a 4K screen, but from the complaints in the Native Instruments forum, it appears that the fonts and UI elements do not scale. In other words, you can expand the window, but the type is still barely readable. Also, because the custom UIs for most libraries are built using bitmapped graphics, they do not resize with the window. There is a new Native UI with Kontakt 7, but only the new Factory Library uses it. All of your legacy libraries will have to be updated. Particularly for third party libraries, there’s no telling when or if this will happen. So, if a scalable UI is important to you, I’d wait until the libraries you want to use have been updated.
Bro I really appreciate this video. Thank you for the content.
And thanks for watching, it always means a lot when I get this kind of feedback. I'm just trying to make YT vids that don't suck
@@ThisIsOnesto haha I feel you. Keep up the good work!
I have a simple question, is it possible to open several instances of Kontakt player in a project ?
Thank you in advance 😉
Yeah, that's totally possible. And honestly, that's almost always the case with my projects.
Thanks !@@ThisIsOnesto
What a horrible thing for Native Instruments to do. I just purchased Kontakt 7 and get a black screen when trying to open it. After research It is said that was needed is a special driver to use it Direct3D 11.1 This should have been in big bold letters on their website, I would have passed on the purchase. I did not see this info on the website. Now I guess that I have to buy a new graphics card for my PC Computer. Is there a workaround?
liked after 10 seconds! This is just what I needed. Thanks a lot
You're welcome, and thanks so much for watching!
What do you think of Komplete Now as an alternative?
Would be great to hear from you and your opinion again thanks for your video
I just refreshed my memory about Komplete Now and I think it's best for someone who's curious about NI products.
I wouldn't get the year subscription, instead I'd try it out for 2 or 3 months, and if you're really liking it, start to ease your way in with Komplete Select or Komplete Standard.
And when it comes to Kontakt and Komplete Now, you'll get access to a lot of good beginner Kontakt Libraries from NI. And of course you can download the Free version of Kontakt in the meantime too.
Hey great video, as someone who doesn't really own any other Kontakt instruments at the moment, do you think it's worth getting Kontakt 7 for the Factory Library 2? Are people actually using the factory library for production?
That's a great question. I do come across producers who use Factory Library 2 presets. A lot of times, it's used as a "raw" sound that is transformed from effects. So the sound isn't really used for its high fidelity but rather as a string or guitar that will become something that is string-ish or guitar-ish.
If the sound is gonna be front is center, or you want it to sound very realistic, you'll probably want to look into Kontakt libraries.
Based on your question, if you're new to Kontakt, especially music production, I would stick with the Factory sounds. It's a great starting point. And there's a chance that the presets in there are exactly what you need for now.
And it's possible that the genre of music you want to make is perfect for those stock presets. And then sometimes a song needs a sound that's more polished and realistic.
If you have any more questions let me know, hope this helps!
@@ThisIsOnesto thanks, that already helps
Great video, just what I wanted to know and in a small time frame perfect voice tone to bro.
Hey!
That's the goal of every video on this channel. If someone is gonna trust me with a few minutes of their time, I want to make sure that I deliver. That means making these video as effective as possible in the shortest amount of time.
Thanks for watching, appreciate the comment!
Why does my Kontakt 7 not have the drop down tabs at the top? It only says file, library, and view. No workspace management or and of the other drop down tabs
The same thing with me too...
Purge! so worth it. Thanks for this quick start vid.
Purge is a life/RAM saver. Thanks for watching!
Hey thanks for this. My system has both Kontakt 6 full and Kontakt 7 player. How do I know which one to choose?
That answer mostly depends on what kind of Kontakt libraries you plan to use. If you have libraries that require the full version than Kontakt 6 is what you'll use. In your case I would use Kontakt 6 since it's the full version and you won't run into any limitations with the Player version
Wow super tutorial.... Sarcasm level 1000000
Sorry if the tutorial disappointed you. Sincerity level 100.
You said you had links on how to use Kontakt with various DAWs but I can't find any such link. Am I missing something?
You may have missed the link in the description. Here's the playlist I put together: ua-cam.com/play/PLHQ_I1uNdUgndmDVz8xsDKSgCAaf3SDBP.html&si=KmKx3dYdCZOO3qyo
Thank you for referring me to this video. It's all clear to me now!
Great! so happy this video could help. Kontakt's a weird one to understand, but once you get it, you're good. Hope you make use of some of the tips in the video!
Very well explained and presented how to use this program. A few months ago I installed kontakt 7 but for some time it seems like it doesn't work, the word demo is displayed in red 🤔
Thanks! Glad the video was clear in explaining things. As for your issue, I have no idea how to help but I found this post on the NI forum that hopefully helps: community.native-instruments.com/discussion/6646/kontakt-7-demo-issues
Onesto thanks for your work. I have a question probably stupid but here goes: I want to play my Yamaha keyboard using better piano/keyboard sound than is incoprorated in the unit. I don't wish to edit record simply get better sound ...is this software something I should explore? Thanks in advance for your response? L
That’s not a stupid question at all. I know exactly what you’re trying to go for. Before you consider this software, make sure that you can connect your Yamaha Keyboard to your computer via USB or USB C. It can also connect via MIDI but you’ll need a dongle to connect to your computer.
If you can’t connect your Yamaha, then you’ll want to consider a MIDI keyboard. They can be pretty affordable. I would check out Arturia’s Keylab Essential (more bells and whistles) or M-Audio (less bells and whistles).
And when it comes to software, with what you’re trying to do, here are three options. If you have a Mac, I would first check out MainStage. It’s $30 and you’ll get a lot of great sounds. If MainStage doesn’t interest you, then go ahead and check out Kontakt (if your budget is tight, make sure you get it on sale). Kontakt will have a lot of stock sounds that are solid. And a free option is to look into Spitfire Audio’s Labs. Here you’ll find a lot of good free sounds. However, you’ll need to use a DAW (digital audio workstation). Which is a whole other thing, but you can find some good free options like GarageBand or Reaper.
Hopefully this helps, and thank for watching!
@@ThisIsOnesto Thanks very much for your response. Yes the P145 Yamaha connects to my laptop Win 11 so I will explore your concise and clear recommendations with thanks! L
OMFG THE TRACK IN THE VIDEO IS SO FKN GOOD I HAVE NEVER HEARD THIS GOOD TRACK PLEASE RELEASE IT
Haha! Glad you love that little demo. It was a something that just sprang out of me, guess I was feeling extra tender that day.
Super useful video! Many thanks!
Yo, thanks for saying that, means a lot.
So when using it for multiple libraries in one instance of Kontakt--as I always have in the past, I have to ask why did they make it so easy to erase everything you already have loaded into your "window," you have to be really careful adding new samples or it wipes out everything you've loaded already. I guess some of this is due to various different brands that don't react the same way? But I kind of think it's mostly Kontakt's fault. I didn't ever has this problem with the previous Kontakts.
Good morning
Can you tell me the procedure for deleting library from Kontakt 7 on Mac? I really thank you. louis
Hey Louis, that’s a great question. The easiest way to do that is to open up Native Access, find and click the library you want to install, and look for either a “uninstall library” button, or there will be a “how to uninstall” link that will show you how to manually uninstall Kontakt libraries.
Do it need to instoll a whole New software to play kontak?
Or is it good with power point or Microsoft 365?
Great video. Also, I can't say that I've seen an SM-7 used as a hand mic before. 😀
I don't recommend it, haha! I thought it looked cool holding it, but in practice it's clunky and awkward. I guess that's why mic stands exist.
The first vid that gives me the understanding that Kontakt and Kontakt 7 (player) when loaded in Logic are different. Most vids don't explain that if you want to have multiple instruments loaded with access to separate midi and audio out you need Kontakt, not player! When I then load my version it doesn't allow me to use certain instruments as it's out of date! Am I right in thinking this is a way to get you to upgrade?
You got it, glad this video can help! And you're right, that's one of the benefits of upgrading. I would say that the bigger benefit is getting access to licensed and unlicensed Kontakt Libraries. The unlicensed libraries are often pretty cheap, and sometimes even free. Anyways, thanks for watching!
I like that purge trick - thanks for sharing :)
Yeah that trick is a RAM life saver. You can also do the purge trick in Komplete Kontrol.
Is upgrade optional or compulsory (like we can not use it if we don't upgrade it)?
It's kind of both haha. From my experience, it depends on which version of Kontakt was used to make the Kontakt Library. So if a Kontakt Library was made with 7.5, then it is compatible for version 7.5 and newer.
I'd be sure to check the product page to see which version of Kontakt it is compatible with.
Question I cant seem to get Native Instruments to answer. Can you play Kontakt stand alone for an indefinite time like 3 hours non stop? Mine times out at 2hrs at first then 30mins. I then have to restart or click the panic ! button on interface. Please help. Anybody.
how can i chance the settings for aftertouch ? there's no wrench on the left upper corner for the Violins you know .
DUDE! Amazing video. To the point and resourceful! Thank you
You got it! To the point and resourceful is always what I'm aiming for with these videos. I pretty much started this channel because I kept getting frustrated with videos that would confuse me even more or feel like I wasted my time.
I still have a lot to learn, but so happy to hear that you found this video helpful!
Need to know how to load multiple instruments at once. You only said you can do it. I will like you to show how it's done. Can you show how it's done? I'm having difficulties
I am still using Kontakt 6…
Because I had Pharlight, and it was because of the sale, I bought it in 2022 for just $125.
Great video. Current issue I’m running into. I have Ableton Live 9, and just recently purchased Komplete 14 standard which includes Kontakt 7. I had Native Access install everything, but Kontakt 7 doesn’t show up in my plugins, however Kontakt Player 6 does as well as some of the other plugins I installed. All were installed in the same location so I’m not sure what’s happening. Can anyone help?
I have Komplete 14 Collector's Edition and a brand new S61 MK3. Now, I just need to learn how to use them. Ditto for Ableton Live 11 Suite. ... and a converted gaming PC with 256GB of RAM. (if i don't learn how to use them, some kid is going to get a sweet sweet deal... like on the Arturia Keylab88 MK3 of just sold for next to nothing.) My point in saying all of that? Find an old guy with money and chronic GAS but not much talent or patience.
whats your cpu used here? I wonder if my pc can handle kontakt instruments
I’m using an M1 Mac Mini from 2020. Nothing crazy. My experience with Kontakt Instruments is that they are memory (RAM) heavy more so than CPU heavy. I use 16GB of RAM and that’s been fine for my uses. You can also use the Purge tip from the video.
Is it possible to switch instruments using the computer keyboard in a own created instrument bank? - I don't want to use the mouse cursor because I play the digital saxophone and it is not practical.
I can't think of any way to switch instruments with a computer keyboard or hotkey. I do wonder if there's a way to switch using a MIDI controller with knobs or sliders. Wish I could help more!
@@ThisIsOnesto Of course, you can change instruments using a midi controller - just set the appropriate PC (program change) - I do this on pads, but I don't always have a controller with me and I would like to be able to switch it with the computer keyboard.
Buongiorno
sempre molto interessante. Le chiedo un'informazione. Io uso il software maschine 2 e maschine plus come controller. Recentemente ho caricato Kontant factory library 2. ho notato che ci sono alcuni suoni, soprattutto quelli di voci e cori che suonati a una nota o più note il suono suona in contunuum e se aggiungo note si sommano sempre in continuum alle precedenti. Però così sono poco utilizzabili. è normale? come posso settarli come suono normale senza questo sustain infinito?
Grazie, Luigi
Thx for the concise video. So rare, and very helpful! You respect peoples' time. I dig it!
But I have a question. I've been searching through various vids, and haven't yet found an answer yet. Perhaps you can help:
If I have the new Kontakt 7, do I still need to use the Komplete Kontrol Software, and if so, for what? I have Komplete 13, and a bunch of Spitfire Library's too. They're all NKS. Now the new Kontakt 7 has a new and improved library search function which, unless I'm missing something appears every bit as good (?) and functional as Komplete Kontrol, AND there is now a keyboard at the bottom to show key switches and ranges and such (was there before? - never saw it).
So, do you think there is still any reason to run Kontakt inside Komplete Kontrol instead of using just instances of Kontakt in my tracks? I'm using Logic Pro X, btw.
Thanks for your insights! Keep the short and sweet vids coming, much appreciated!
PS: I have a KK keyboard controller, but mostly just look at my large monitor screen to choose patches (easier to see), and don't use any of this for live performance.
Thanks for the feedback and for checking out the channel! The thought of wasting people's time terrifies me, so I always make sure these videos get to the point.
I'm in a similar scenario as you. I still choose to use Komplete Kontrol plugin for my Kontakt Libraries because of NKS. I love how NKS automatically maps out my KK controllers, I feel like it's more fun and quicker to change things on the fly.
I don't use really use my keyboard to browse instruments and presets, I'll use my monitor for that. Although Kontakt 7's browser and plugin overall has a better UI, I still choose Komplete Kontrol due to the way it lets me tweak a library.
So if you own Komplete select 14 you get no discount from upgrading to standard as only upgrade offers I see if you own 2 to 12 Komplete standard
Wow... Even I understood and ram saving 1000 Thx and how to build up several instruments /sounds in 1 kontakt module 😮😊
you're welcome, glad the video could help!
I always felt Kontakt was a little confusing. Just trying to demystify it for whoever wants to learn.
I have trouble connecting Kontakt to my Ableton, it only downloads as a standalone app and not as a VST3, and I have no way to get the two programs to communicate with eachother
Do you have live 9 still
I cant hear the previews from my lib, how to fix
Perfect , just what I needed thanks
🙏💖🙏
You're welcome, thanks so much for watching!
My Samsung t7 heats after half & hour while using as a external SSD for storing library, so is it good idea???
Hi, why don't you show us how to switch UI from 2:19 to 2:20 ???? Why do you cut that part ??? That's the most important part !
So sorry about that! If you click the button right next to the Kontakt Logo, (it looks like a books on a book shelf) it should open up the side panel you’re referring to.
How do u even get kontakt 7 to fl studio. Figuring out for 3 months already
Any luck? before i buy it
Hey guys! HOW DO REMOVE THE DEFAULT PAN IN KONTAKT? I have found it difficult to find information on this. Essentially, for example, if a key is played on the left, the instrument will sound louder on the left side of the headphones. The same goes for keys played on the right side, which makes the sound on the right headphone louder. How can I remove this effect so that is sounds centered and not based on key position? Thank you!
How do you adjust the tempo of Kontakt 7 instruments?
I am having an issue all of a sudden opening up kontakt in my daw. Every time I open it back up, it shows all my instruments using kontakt none of them will play without me unloading and loading back in the instrument which means it doesn’t save any of the changes I made on the instrument. Any reason it won’t load up ready to play? It even shows it’s playing on the meter but the sound isn’t playing until I load and unload it. A big hassle to do every time I open up my project to have to reload every single instrument.
How do I connect this to a keyboard and use live?
Kontakt has been on my wishlist for years. A matter of time until I get it I suppose, because more often than not when I see an instrument with a great value for kontakt it turns up to be for the paid/full version (not for kontakt player) :/ Specially very interesting vocal libraries , etc. One of the very few plugins right now that make me feel like I'm really missing out.
Love💙
edit: omg what's that piece that starts at around 3:36 ? is it part of a song of yours?
That's sort of why I would recommend getting the full version of Kontakt. For those libraries that require the full version.
And I'm very proud to say that what you heard was a little something that I made. It's super pretty huh?! Making music has been a big struggle of mine.
I just don't know what to make at times, it's been sort of an identity issue. I'm trying to figure out what kind of producer I am.
But hearing that it made an impression on you, really helps. Thanks!
@@ThisIsOnesto omg you need to make that into a full song, I'm totally serious. One of the best pieces I've heard in a long time, that melody and vibe really resonate with me. I watch tons of anime and it reminds me of the overwhelmingly beautiful/emotional type of scenes. I'm serious, you really really should make a full song out of it. I can hear it in my head with some subtle drums/perc as a chilled/atmospheric-emotionally-intense kind of track. And if you feel indecisive about it or just want to collab I would absolutely love that.💙
@@HumanBeingWithFeelings thanks for all that praise. It really helps to know someone else sees the potential in things.
A good friend of mine does a lot of scoring, so your encouragement is giving me the courage to nudge him to help me develop this further.
Thanks a lot!

hey. I need some help. I installed Kontakt 7 and it doesn't show me any instruments!!!
This video helped a lot. Thanks.
Nice! Kontakt isn't the most intuitive at times, so happy this video could help you out. Thanks for watching!
Ho un imac di un po' di anni e mon possi installare Kontakt free. Esiste da installare su android oppure c'e' un modo per installarlo? Grazie
Wondering, if you buy Komplete 14, do you get the full version of Kontakt with it?
If you buy Komplete 14 Standard you get the full version of Kontakt 7. Another reason why Standard is the most popular Komplete 14 bundle. It really is a great value.

If I have komplete 13, do I have the full version of kontakt 7?
I believe Komplete 13 Standard and above should have the full version of Kontakt 7.
Thanks bro... it's help me a lot..
Of course! Thanks for watching.
So I’m using a keyboard that isn’t by native instruments and it doesn’t work when I plug it in?
That's a good question. I would try clicking the options button near the top right corner. And then clicking the MIDI setting. This should be where you can set up your keyboard.
I hope that helps!
One good trick i found out about Kontakt is if u Batch Re-Save a library it loads faster. But i dont know much about it, so if anyone know if it then takes up extra space lemme know pls
Yes! Batch Re-Save is another great way to get libraries to load faster. I only wanted to share 1 fast upload tip, and I decided to go with the purge tip. I actually don't know what if Batch Re-Save takes up extra space in your hard drive. I'm sure it does, but maybe not as much as the original library??
a real easier thing made possible with 7 version, is the ability to automatically load each instruments (multi inst preset) in omni mode..it's a real game changer
Kontakt 7 made a lot of long awaited updates. The feature you mentioned is a big quality of life upgrade.
Excellent video. Thanks!
Thanks for watching, happy to help!
is quite sad Kontakt has set up their software liekt his...it doesnt have to be this hard, it really doesnt. great video btw
i still dont get it.BOught kontakt 7 for 300 bucks and got no libraries...do i have to buy every single one again??
Does it work with fl10? I hate how difficult everything has gone..
Yeah it should work with FL10. And yeah, a lot of plugins can get complicated. Hopefully the next version of Kontakt streamlines a lot of things.
thanks. i didnt get it to work.. cant get signed in and can not change password. nothing works like usually :D@@ThisIsOnesto

Thanks for this video. Native Instruments is a pain in the butt on tutorials. I just wrote them asking for help. All of their videos are still on version 6. And even your video is a year old and looks nothing like what I just downloaded today. Kontakt is $150 now and is completely useless if you don't know how to use it!
Kontakt can be a tricky one to understand. So I'm glad this video can help simplify what it does. I just put out a video on Komplete Kontrol since that's sort of hard to understand at first.
Kontakt just got updated to Kontakt 7. It's mostly the same with some added UI updates. I think it's easier to browse and find sounds now.
Thanks for watching!

Thank you! 🙏
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
It's not a sampler. Doesn't have a sample recorder (as for exampke Halion has).😊. It's a sample player/manipulator/editor. As you know.
Yes, your answer is much more precise and correct than mine! I think I just used the term sampler probably because I was just mistaken but also because it seemed easier for others to quickly understand.
