BASiS
Installation
To install
BASiS
, simply insert the installation disc into your computer and run
the
BASiS
installer.
The installer will install three separate components of the product: the library
(which is approximately 8 GB in size, and can be placed anywhere on your
system), the engine (Kontakt Player 2, which should be installed in either the
Applications folder for Mac users, or the Program Files folder for PC users), and
the authorizer (NI Service Center, which like the engine should also be installed
in either the Applications folder for Mac users, or the Program Files folder for
PC users).
When running the installer in its default mode, it will install not only the stand-
alone application of the Kontakt Player 2 engine, but also all plug-in versions so
that you can use
BASiS
within any major sequencer. If you do not plan to use
the plug-in versions, or only need certain plug-in versions, you can use the
Custom Install option in the installer. However, it is generally recommended to
use the Easy Install option.
Updating
After installation, please make sure that you are fully updated to the most recent
versions of the three components that make up the
BASiS
package: the library (which contains all the patch information and programming), the
engine (which is powered by Kontakt Player 2), and the authorizer (Service Center). It
is possible that any of these components may have a more recent version than
shipped in your physical package, so you should check for updates to each of
these three.
You can do this by visiting the www.vir2.com web site and checking the
Support area.
