Komplete Kontrol & Kontakt and why you need BOTH!

In this tutorial, I show the differences between Komplete Kontrol and Kontakt and why they compliment each other by design.

Thanks. Well explained with no BS. You Tube should just pay you to explain everything, life would be much easier for us all.

WOW! This is BRILLIANT. You have really cut off hours of creation and study time for those of us who struggle with- well, age...

I was looking EVEYWHERE trying to get the keyboard on Komplete Kontrol. THANK YOU!!!!

Excellent Video, information at a speed, and style that makes it easy to follow and understand. As a newbie this is my goto place in YouTube. Thank you.

Excellent Well explained video on NKS I recently purchased S88 and now awaiting MaschineMk3 . This integration is mind blowing.

Thanks for the informative video. As I do have both Komplete Kontrol and Kontakt, plus a KK S88 MK2, I feel qualified to make this statement. There is NO EXCUSE for the lack of Kontakt control that Native Instruments neglected to implement in the MK2 MIDI Controller. I do not understand why, at a minimum, that there is not a special mode for Kontakt control. They may well be the best in many areas but anticipating customer needs is not their strong suit.

Thank you Tony... This video is very helpful

Thanks for the video Tony! You mentioned in this video that you would make a video about loading multiple instruments into komplete kontrol. If you’ve made it, I’m not seeing it. Would love a video showing that. Thanks!

So I just got komplete kontrol, kontakt, and kontakt 7, and I’m wondering why they seem similar but one has more than the other etc, is there one I should use instead because they seem almost the same?

[anderssundqvist]

Thanks for the informative video to a newbie who just installed Komplete Kontrol and Kontakt Player. Sadly it do not work that well for now in Mac OS Big Sur and the M1 processor but hopefully that will change in near future.

[moetarded]

Keep it up. Big fan. Just getting into kontact.

[AngelicaGanea]

Thank you for all the information Tony :) I'm lost in front of my KK S88!! Do you teach? I've been trying to find someone to teach me how to use thin thing for a long time. I called every music store, googled, etc. and no luck. Do you teach?

[MichaelDeRusso]

Hi Tony, please tell me what camera did you used to record this video, looks so clean... Thanks

[Nick-uidr]

U can filter by sound and character in Kontakt too... Loops or oneshot etc. At least in Kontakt 8 that I got. 😊 Even u can attach it to Harware Controllers and keyboards. So whats the use of Komplete when u have Kontakt?

[citizenworld]

Tony, a great video. I hope you might consider making a tutorial on using HOST V MIDI CC Automation with your Komplete Kontrol keyboard and Kontakt. There is no video on the net about it, not one and yet many composers use this configuration for obvious reasons.

[AkshayKumarX]

Thank you for the clean explanation.

One thing I would like to ask you is that, when using kontakt or kontrol on what I'm assuming is a 4k display, is that the maximum size of those application windows?

Do you not find it difficult to work with such a small window and tiny font size? I'm on Full HD display and over the past few days of using Kontakt, I wanted to find some way to increase the font or window size.

Hi Tony, I had a new Komplete Kontrol S88 MK2 delivered yesterday. I changed from Cubase to Studio One about four years ago, but being a hardware type of guy, I've never really gone all -in-the-box. I do lots of different types of music, from classical to rock, so have various templates saved. You're right....I should have bought the S88 Mk2 when it came out, because after watching your content it's been a revelation at how easy it is to select sounds with the keyboard using Komplete Kontrol. I can already see how useful the 'mixer' button will be on the S88 when used with Studio One. Since I own the S88, is there any advantage of loading sounds in to Studio One using Kontakt rather than Komplete Kontrol? My first findings would say there are not?
I also tried the 'script' remedy for altering the pane size of Kontrol. Although I achieved the new sizing in standalone mode, it still opened in Studio One with the original size. However, the screen became 'glitchy' oscillating between the mixer page and the timeline, with a warning message that the graphics card was reporting a fault so I switched the values back.
Anyhow, I'll check out some of your other videos. Thanks.

omg, you has a YouTube channel! :-) ha ha, awesome. Have a like on me.

So we're both participating on a thread in the NI forum and I was wondering why the newbie suddenly called you Tony. Now I know (and knowing is half the battle! 😉). Don't mind me too much right now.

_Awesome_ setup you got there btw, very impressive.

so many resssources that we despise then we have to revise them later. I never cared for this app but now find awesome to mix orchstras in the same app, having an overview of them
