USING KONTAKT IN GARAGEBAND

Users of Apple’s GarageBand can use Kontakt as an AudioUnit
plug-in. These instructions have been prepared in GarageBand 5
(which shipped with iLife ‘09), although Kontakt may also work in
earlier versions if the computer meets the system requirements.

Once inside your GarageBand project, go to the Track menu and
choose New Track.

> [

01

]

A window with three choices will appear. Choose Software
Instrument, then click Choose.

> [

]

On the right side of the interface, the Browse tab will be showing.
Switch to the Edit tab.

> [

03

]

The Sound Generator will default to Piano. Click Piano, and a pop-
up menu will appear. Choose Audio Unit Modules > Kontakt 3.

> [

04

]

Note: GarageBand may default to inserting effects, such as a com-
pressor and a visual EQ on this track. This will color the sound. If
you don’t want these effects used, you can remove them.

Once Kontakt 3 is selected, the icon will change to the AudioUnit
icon (the ball with the sound waves radiating outward). Double-
click on the icon to bring up the Kontakt window.
