USING KoNtAKt AS A PLUG-IN IN ANotHER HoSt

There are too many host programs to cover here in detail, but any modern
sequencer that properly supports the VST, AudioUnit, or RTAS standards
should be able to use Kontakt properly, and load Acou6tics within it. Consult
the manual for your specific host to find out how to instantiate the Kontakt
virtual instrument.

USING KoNtAKt AS AN AUDIoUNIt PLUG-IN IN DIGItAL PERfoRMER

Users of MOTU’s Digital Performer can use Kontakt as an AudioUnit plug-in.
These instructions have been prepared in Digital Performer 6, although
Kontakt may also work in earlier versions if the computer meets the system
requirements.

Once the project is open, go to the Project menu and choose Add Track >
Add Instruments...

In the resulting dialog box, click on the unassigned pull down menu, and
choose Native Instruments > Kontakt 5. You can also change the number of
MIDI tracks to be added, if you know you will want to use more than one.

The Kontakt window will appear, and a MIDI track will be created,
transmitting to Kontakt’s MIDI channel A-1. When it is record-enabled, it will
send any incoming MIDI played on your controller into Kontakt.

At this point, you can skip down in the instructions to the Getting Started
With Acou6tics section below.
