Tab 3: Handling
Use Computer Keyboard for MIDI Playback: This lets you use your computer keyboard
to trigger KONTAKT PLAYER 2 (handy for laptop jockeys on airplanes!). You
can also edit the Velocity value that a key will trigger.
Keyboard Velocity: This specifies what velocity should be sent when using the
computer keyboard for MIDI playback.
Solo Mode: Choose between Solo In-Place (only one instrument can be soloed,
others will be muted) and Solo Latch (you can switch several instruments
into solo mode).
Browser: Double-Click Loads Instrument: If enabled, double-clicking on a
Sample in the Browser creates a new Instrument, with the sample spanning
the entire keyboard range. If you Shift-Click multiple samples and double-
click on the group of Samples, this not only creates a new Instrument, but
also auto-maps the Samples equally across the keyboard.
Browser: Show Files Before Folders: This alters the sorting algorithm of the Browser
to show files before folders.
Default Root Key for New Zones: Samples without root key information will default
to this as their root key.
MIDI Channel Assignment for Loaded Patches: This menu tells KONTAKT PLAYER
2 what MIDI channel you want newly loaded instruments to be assigned to.
"1st Free" loads up each subsequent instrument on the first unused MIDI
channel. "Omni" assigns all instruments to OMNI (meaning they will receive
MIDI on any incoming channel). "Keep channels from K 1.x Patches" will
allow the patches to load with whatever MIDI channels were saved within
older KONTAKT 1 patches.
Installation Base Path: If you change the name of the KONTAKT PLAYER 2 folder,
certain presets might not be available anymore. Set the installation path here
to the location of the KONTAKT PLAYER 2 folder.
Tab : Load/Import
Load Instruments/Banks/Multis in "Purged Mode" (Without Loading Samples into RAM):
Reloads the parameters of Samples that were purged, but without the Sample
data itself. See Purge Menu below.
Force-load Pre-2.0 Patches in DFD Mode: This forces the engine to use DFD streaming
even for old patches that were not originally saved with it.
Unwind Automation ID's for Additionally Loaded Patches: This is a very useful option
when assigning host automation IDs to a patch and then loading the same
patch in several slots; just imagine that you assign host automation IDs #0 to
