i am about to make some unwise financial decisions

I went ahead and grabbed Kontakt since I'm starting to work on releasing more sample packs. It'd be nice to be able to put things out in the Kontakt format.

[Dissidia]

These are the only times I wish I had more money (unresistable sales).

Edit: Do want Kontakt, I hope I can afford it, I don't care if I have to eat sparsely next month xD.

[Cash]

Awesome! I've been wanting Kontakt 5 for a while now, but wasn't ready to pay $400. This is just the kind of deal I've been hoping for.

[Dissidia]

Bought it today, we we we so excited.

[Nabeel Ansari]

Picked up Massive.

[Cash]

Now I can properly use Shreddage, which I bought a while ago not realizing it was for Kontakt.

Ok so I have run into a problem. I can't change the volume of single patches, I can but they reset when I stop the song. It's as if the patch volume slider is programmed to a definite value. Neblix :>?

Edit: so you can apparently do:

Once an instrument is loaded into KONTAKT 2 you need to go into its "Instrument Options" section. There is a little wrench you can press which will expand the view and options available through KONTAKT 2 for this instrument. Once you click "Instrument Options" you need to navigate to the "Controller" tab. Once here...there is a little box that needs to be unchecked called:

"Accept Standard Controllers For Volume & Pan"

but that's only for a single instrument. Isn't there a master option for this?

Edit 2: Ok so I guess you just have to use the mixer sliders? Or what is everyone else doing?

Instrument volumes in Kontakt will always default to whatever the volume knob is set to in the step sequencer. If you want to change instrument volume without messing with the mixer, use the step sequencer volume knobs. The thing you unchecked makes this not so.

Dunno what DAW you're using, but in Sonar there's an option (in Sonar's Project Options > MIDI Out pane) called "Zero Controllers When Play Stops." I sometimes have problems with Kontakt's levels doing weird things for certain instruments, and unchecking this option fixes it. Your DAW might have something similar.

I'm using FL Studio. I looked for such an option Moseph but didn't find one in FL.

Neblix you mean lowering the midi outs volume? Yeah that's probably easier.

Yes, that's exactly what I mean. The volume knobs in Kontakt will automatically set themselves to the value of the MIDI out volume knobs.
