Info Pane; On-Screen Keyboard - Native Instruments KONTAKT PLAYER Getting Started

3.4 Info Pane

The Info Pane is a text bar at the bottom of the main window; if you don't see it, click on the
Info button in the Main Control Panel (see section 3.1).
The purpose of the Info Pane is to provide you with a short description of whatever your mouse
cursor is currently pointing at; whenever you're not sure what a specific button, knob or other
element of the user interface does, just point your mouse at it and read the description that
shows up in the Info Pane below the Rack.
The Info Pane provides helpful descriptions of KONTAKT's user interface elements.
Provided that the Browser is visible as well, the Info Pane will be separated into two sections.
In addition to the user interface descriptions, it will also display various details about the item
that's currently selected in the Object Pane of the Browser, if any.

3.5 On-Screen Keyboard

The On-Screen Keyboard appears just below the Rack when you click on the button labeled
Keyb in the Main Control Panel (see section 3.1).
The On-Screen Keyboard displays incoming MIDI notes and the key range of the selected Instrument.
This virtual piano keyboard offers several functions, the most obvious of which is that you
can trigger notes by clicking on its keys. This is the equivalent of pressing a key on your mas-
ter keyboard. The notes will be sent to the Instrument that's currently selected in the Rack
(just click on an Instrument Header to select it), or to the topmost one if none is selected.
