Presets
Alongside the default NKI instrument, you will find a folder named presets. This contains four folders
of Hybrid Factory instruments with Elements, filters, and effects already tweaked by Precisionsound:
• Basses
• Keys and Plucks
• Leads
• Pads and Textures
There are twenty instruments of each type, giving a total of 80 ready-to-play presets.
 Many presets have CC1 assigned to the filter cutoff. Don’t forget to turn the modwheel!
Making your own instruments
We encourage you to create your own instruments with Hybrid Factory. You could try:
• Blending the attack of one element with the sustain of another
• Slightly detuning one layer for a fat, analogue-style sound
• Using Elements from the Sound FX Bank to add tension to pad sounds
• Turning a sustaining Element into a short hit by lowering the envelope decay and sustain
• Processing noise Elements from the Simple Bank with effects
• Using extreme settings for reverb damping and size
• Applying a filter envelope with a very slow attack to a pad sound
• Using the tape echo reverb type instead of the delay effect
• Deconstructing the supplied presets and tweaking them to make new sounds…
Known issues
Due to a Kontakt automation bug, it’s not possible to automate the controls of Hybrid Factory. This
bug has been reported to Native Instruments. However, you can still automate the filter by turning
up the CC1 to cutoff knob, then recording CC1 movements in your host program.
