Need help with NI Kontakt

[HaZwaiOh]

Okay, i downloaded NI Kontakt. So far this software feels quite good. I´m just missing a couple of features that i really like in VSampler:

Can I prelisten instruments before I insert them into Kontakt? VSampler has a virtual keyboard. I know that Kontakt doesn´t have one, but can´t that be accomplished by my midi controller? Inserting instruments, assigning a midi channel and pressing play in my sequencer to see how it sounds is a pain, because it takes so long.

Can I delete instruments just by marking them and hitting "del". In the manual it says i can do so, but it won´t work.

Any help and tracks are appreciated

Sup man I just replied to your other sampler thread hah.

To delete instruments just make sure the instrument box has the orange border on it. That mean its selected. Just click on any empty green part of the instrument and you can delete with with [Del]. If thats too hard then just go to the Load/Save tab at the top and choose "remove" and pick the instrument.

I dont think you can preview the instrument just by highlighting it. But you can auto preview single samples. Just click the Auto button below the list and they'll play automatically. Not instruments tho, just samples.

Oh really? Hmm. I'm not sure how it works in FL4. I use Cubase and each instrument has an option to "Stay on top" so basically it stays floating on top of the other windows. If this option is checked then you CANT use key comands. Thats the only thing I can think of. I'm not even sure if FL4 has an option like that so I dont know. But anywayz like I sayd you can remove instruments by going the pull-down menu also. Good luck brah.
