Outdated in comparison to multi sampled instruments, but for the price.Īn unexpected really good one is vi.2 by vir2instruments. On some trustworthy sites, like bestservice you can get it for as low as 25 bucks. If you want more variation, but not too expensive, get Airmusictech’s Xpand2, works nicely on Kontakt. You would want Big Fish’s vintage rhythm section. But, after a lot of reading, asking and trying, it works perfectly. I’ve been where you’ve been: trying to use kontakt and really coming up with strange results. This will be a solution, along with specifying for each instrument in Kontakt the right channel. In biab-preferences-midi channel, you can lower (-1) or change the,octave as you please. Most times, bass is on Ch2: this means, you load a bass from Kontakt Library and in Kontakt you make sure ch2 is selected.Īlso check if the octave is right. You could check Biab>preferences>Midi channel: see if the channel of piano, guitar, drums is the same as the piano, guitar, drums in Kontakt.

The Kontakt factory library is often quite good. Please advise if I have bought the wrong Instruments Library (Crossroads Blues) to run in Kontakt and also please suggest what I should buy. Upright and Electric Basses, Electric Rhythm and Lead Guitars, Pianos, B3 Organ, Brush and Pop Drum Kits, Blues harp, Horn Section and Saxes. I want acoustic and electric Blues, R&B and Jazz instruments i.e. I'm new to all this Midi, Kontakt and 3rd Party Instruments?sound Libraries. 'Crossroads Blues is a loop-based product, not a multi-sampled virtual instrument. I contacted Big Fish Audio and they said: They do not play the notes in the Midi Style at all. I can get sounds out when using the Crossroads instruments but they also a garbled mess and not related to the MIDI Style I have chosen. I did this because the Kontakt Factory Library Sounds are terrible - the sound quality is terrible (much worse than Coyote VST Synth) plus they don't play the Midi notes in the BIAB style either - just random rubbish. I recently purchased Kontakt 6 and the Big Fish Audio 'Crossroads Blues' library to improve the sound quality when playing BIAB Midi Only or mixed MIDI & Real Tracks Styles.
