Sample rate: The drop-down menu will display compatible sample rates for
your audio interface. .1kHz is the same sample rate used for CDs, and
is the most universal choice. However, some audio interfaces offer kHz,
kHz, and higher. These higher rates stress your computer more, but offer
somewhat better high frequency response. If you are using KONTAKT PLAYER
2 in standalone mode, choose whichever rate you prefer.
Output Device: Use ASIO written specifically for your audio interface (not
"ASIO DirectX" or "ASIO Multimedia," unless no other choices are available),
or for the Mac, Core Audio.
Output Latency: This field displays the output latency. For some drivers you
can adjust the latency individually using a fader. If a fader is not present,
then you need to open the ASIO Configuration by pressing the ASIO Config
button in the Soundcard tab and adjust the latency using the buffer size
setting in the control panel of your audio card. Higher buffer sizes result in
higher latency and vice versa. However, lower buffer sizes place more strain
upon the computer's CPU. If a computer's CPU is strained too much, you
may begin to hear audio artifacts such as pops and clicks. Experiment with
the latency setting until you find the best compromise between fast response
and clean audio performance.
MIDI Setup
If your MIDI interface offers multiple ins and outs, you can choose which
one(s) connect to KONTAKT PLAYER 2. When you click on the MIDI tab,
you'll see a list of all available MIDI inputs and outputs. Click on any „off"
designation to turn it on.
When used in standalone mode, KONTAKT PLAYER 2 supports MIDI input
