Native Instruments Kore - Native Instruments DRUMS OverKILL Operation Manual

DXi (DirectX Instrument): Based on Microsoft's DirectX technology, this plug-in
interface for software synthesizers and instruments is designed for low latency
and high performance on the Windows platform. Cakewalk Sonar and Image
Line FL Studio are the most popular hosts to support DXi.
RTAS (Real Time Audio Suite): This format was designed by Digidesign and is
used in all current versions of Pro Tools. Unlike traditional TDM effects that
depend on using Digidesign hardware, RTAS plug-ins are "native," meaning
that they rely on the CPU of the host computer to do their computations.
AU (AudioUnit): This plug-in format was developed by Apple and is unique
to the Macintosh platform. It is the most popular Macintosh plug-in format,
being supported by programs such as MOTU's Digital Performer, Apple's
Logic, Native Instruments Kore, and Ableton Live.
When KONTAKT PLAYER 2 is used as a plug-in in any of these formats, it's
not necessary to set up Audio/MIDI settings as described above for standalone
use. KONTAKT PLAYER 2 operates within the host sequencer, automatically
receiving the MIDI that the host sequencer sends to it, and sending back its
audio output to the host sequencer. Because of this, settings regarding audio
and MIDI interfaces as well as buffer sizes (latency) are governed by the host
sequencer, not by KONTAKT PLAYER 2.
Offline Bounce Mode: If you hear crackles or drop-outs when bouncing /
freezing tracks in hosts, please be aware that not all hosts correctly announce
this mode to their plug-ins; when Kontakt Player 2 is used as a plug-in, the
"Offline Bounce Mode" button in the Engine tab is displayed; when Kontakt
receives the bounce signal from the host, this will automatically turn this
button on; if the button does not turn on automatically, this means the host
does not support this feature and you have to enable it manually (it will turn
orange).
We will now describe the procedures involved in using KONTAKT PLAYER 2
inside each of the major host sequencers on both Macintosh and PC.
