Plug-In - Native Instruments DRUMS OverKILL Operation Manual

• Output routing is incorrectly setup. Open the KONTAKT PLAYER Audio
MIDI Setup / Routing tab and set the outputs to correspond to your
soundcard's monitor (Main) outputs.
• Incorrect soundcard selected. Open the Audio MIDI Setup dialog and
choose the correct output device.
The sound is distorted, playback drops out:
• Your latency settings are too low. Low soundcard buffers (low latency
settings) strain your CPU more, so it may be helpful to increase the
buffer size via your ASIO control panel; or in a host, the soundcard
setup. For standalone, open the Audio MIDI Setup dialog and move
the output latency to the right until you don't hear any more distortion
or playback is normal.
• Your CPU may be overloading. KONTAKT PLAYER 2 CPU meter to give
you a quick look at what processing power is being used. If things here
look normal, then your computer may have another process which is
using resources needed for real-time audio processing. (PC) Check the
Task Manager (ctrl-alt-delete) or (Mac) Activity Monitor (Applications/
Utilities) and quit any processes which are using valuable CPU. Usually
it is a good idea to deactivate virus scan software when working with
audio.
I hear a noticeable latency:
• The output latency is too high. Open the Audio MIDI Setup dialog and move
the output latency slider to the left.
For PC users: Please note that some soundcards may not be able to achieve
a comfortable latency. If this is the case you may want to to try the generic
ASIOALL driver.
