Thanx a lot Brian....!! I`m 57 years old , still trying and learning to make "music" 🤭..greeting s from Germany . Very good job !!🤙
Excellent tutorial. No BS, straight to the point, no ads!!!! Thank you. 💜
Incredible session from Brian - please much more like this, use Brian for individual lessons on the Komplete instruments! Other NI presnters should note Brians calm style!
Brian, you are a great teacher. All the content of Kontact 7 perfectly and simply to the point. I have saved the video to refer back to again and again.
Looking forward to the next tutorial.
Thanks Brian, I'm so encouraged! Great Job. Thanks for being so detailed in each section. Looking forward to more uploads.
This was brilliant. I was so intimidated by Kontakt 7; it's my first full Kontakt that I've bought, having only used the Kontakt Player before. I'm stunned by everything I've learned in just this hour - suddenly a new world of sound has opened! Things I had no idea Kontakt could do! Thank you so much, Brian! I'll be coming back to this frequently, until I get more accustomed to everything I can do.
Really Awesome tutorials! Looking foward to the next episode of this Kontakt 7 series, such as how to create our own instrument, instead of manipulating the existing licensed instrument library. Thanks!
This is easy to follow teaching along with a clearly visible screen. Thank you.
Nice tutorial! I have barely used Kontakt so far, but this makes manipulating so much easier. Instead of just poking around to see what I can do, which is my normal MO, I can actually move around with a bit more confidence and purpose. Thank you!
Great video Brian. I'm using Kontakt 7 from first time and I learn a lot with this video. Thanks
Brian, that is one of the best how-to-use videos I've seen. The new browser took me a minute to learn; I can't imagine not having it, especially with all the latest instruments available. My confusion was creating a multi-instrument. When loading the first instrument, the instrument header showed the snapshot view, and it didn't occur to me to click the Info button to set my multi-instrument outputs.
Very professional and humble tutorial. Thank you Brian.
This is a FANTASTIC tutorial Brian, thank you so much for putting it together. You made the process so easy and I learned so much!
Thank you for making this video!!! Sorta new to Kontakt, but never really took advantage of what it truly offers. Being the visual learner that I am, this helped tremendously
Thank you Brian, you're a brilliant teacher! :)
Brian, you are a GREAT teacher, nice quick, simple and to-the-point explanation, well prepared and very easy to follow and understand! I would love to see more tutorials made by you... Congrats!
Totally agree…top notch beginning to end
What a great tutorial, clear, calm and concise. Good job NI and Brian!
Thank you for this clear and useful tutorial. I've used Kontakt over 2 years now. In one short video I've gone from being intimidated by all the functions of the header section to "oh, I get it" and looking forward to using more of the features. Cheers!
Glad to hear our tutorial helps. 😇
really great, very precise and clear explanation on a program that is gorgeous.
time to make more 😁
These tutorials are very helpful, thank you! I was hoping you'd touch on customising NI and non-NI device midi knobs, sliders and buttons to connect to instrument controls, and saving those MIDI settings for easy re-use or even default use with specific instruments/banks/multis.
Great tutorial! Cover I think everything essential about Kontakt for user-level usage. Thank you very much Brian!
Thank you, Brian. Excellent tutorial -- I learned a lot.
If you listened for 1 minute to each of the 85,000 presets, it would take 2 months non-stop to hear them all.
My next live stream
If it took you an entire minute to decide if you like a sound then you probably shouldn't be creating music lol
cool answer@@SpicyViolinist
Each preset is only 3 seconds long. What do you do with the remaining 57 seconds? 😅😵💫
For the oh-so-clever replies, my point here is "Option paralysis".
Love Native instruments. This tutoria has Shown what I actually needed. Very nice!!
Hi there. Great lesson. I appreciate that you made it and I will return to this video to lock in my understanding of the updates to Kontakt. I love the new library layout and it's features but I kept instinctively wanting the old library layout back for the workflow I got used to over the years. It's great that I can switch between the two layouts as I ween myself off the old layout and get onto the new one.
Thanks Brian. You're a great tutor.
Thank you Brian, you cleared up so much for me!
Finally - A great instructional video for NI. Just loaded 7 and the improvements are awesome. Using this software?, the best in instruments, I advise watching the entire video.
Wonderful teacher. Thank you for the clear explanations. Your voice is very soothing☺️
I came looking for copper and I found gold, please, continue with the how to use series, I´m looking forward for massive and reaktor lessons, 😈 big thanks Brian and NI. 😃
Great tutorial. Very focused, no wasted time, great audio, well scripted, no bs, just good solid working information on a complex app. Well done man.

DUDE thanks!!!!! You took me to school on Kontakt!! Thank you for making it simple!
Well done. Easy to understand tutorial. Thank you NI!
kontakt 7 is really a step forward. great job NI
Excellent tutorial. Polished. Direct. Thanks!
Wow, just starting out in Kontakt - I learned so much by this video! Will watch it again as it covers a lot of practical ground. Very well taught!
Native instruments out here giving high quality software along with high quality tutorials! No need to go to any other TH-cam channel to learn this software. Wish all companies could do the same.
Learnt a lot from this tutorial. Thank you Brian.
Great vid, thanks. Brian your are a great instructor and communicator.
Every company should make videos like these
This video is awesome and very needed! Thank you for making it :D
Great overview - really took a lot of mystery out of the functionality!
watched it completely. super clear explanation.
Great detailed introduction to get started with Kontakt 7. Looking fwd to next level!
Thank you so much for this, thank you for your time! 🎹❤️
I just bought Kontakt. Thank you so much!
Very good tutorial. I thought I know how to use it but I get very useful information especially the multi output routing for a single instrument, I did not even know this is possible.
Tha Best Kontakt tutorial I've seen so far...
Super useful and well explained. Thanks a lot!
it has open up a new world for me, many thanks
Best explenation of Kontakt on youtube, thanks and God Bless.
Thanks Brian, I appreciate the insights.
Kontakt 7 is amazing and this video is terrific as well. Such a clear explanation of so many different concepts. I love the Maschine videos too for the same reason! Wonderful teachers.
Sure if it's works, standalone 7 won't start, but VST is working fine 🙂
@@battledj2933 exactly and for many it will not please see my post above. make sure you and anyone who has this issue get them to fix said issues. Who cares how good it may be if the system that installs and runs it does not work as it should. Older versions work fine never had an issue until now.
@@vidworxsfx Indeed, in Komplete you open for example Playbox, on my komplete S49 keyboard screen the logo Kontakt 7 is showing, while Kontakt (6) is running in Komplete 😀 And Playbox is a Kontakt 7 instrument if i am not wrong 🤔 Native Access 2 is also... nevermind 😂
It will be hard to troubleshoot your issues in the comments section of TH-cam,
Please reach out to our Kontakt support team so we can have a closer look.

@@NativeInstruments I did and heard zero till today. Note: its not just my issues its issues that span back months and a lot of others have had the exact same issues. That should tell you there are problems that must be fixed on your end as they still exist in 3.0.1 as well.
This is the video I was waiting for all my life (well my NI Life, means since 2015). Thanks a lot.
Thanks so much, very informative tutorial!
very well explained, bravo...…. your tonality and expression very effective, you should come out with more tutorials
Very clear and through explandation of Kontakt, thanks so much
Excellent tutorial!
Thank you so much. I have seen keyboardist using Native Instrument during gigs. I wanted to do the same with the standalone and select favorites.
Wow! I had no idea what a powerful tool Kontakt 7 is. Great tutorial.
I'm trying to get back into music production and have Komplete Ultimate 12. I never took the time to understand Kontakt but watching this video has been so helpful. Look forward to creating some cool sounding multi's.
Welcome back 😎
avoid getting the bundles
Very good and helpful presentation. Thank you.
This was incredible! Thank you! I just recently bought Komplete Collectors Edition because I had a free version and I really liked the instruments I had and I wanted to get the other plugins like Ozone 10. I was having an issue when I got onto to play around with it, I had 2 different Kontakts in my folder I had Kontakt and Kontakt 7. When I loaded up Kontakt 7 I was only able to play the samples I didn't know how to navigate around but now I'm so excited to have found this video, it helped and made me feel dumb lol. Also I had no idea you could half of what was in this video, well worth the $900 I spent.
Thanks so much! If we purchase the full version do we have access to all of these sound libraries?
Merci beaucoup pour ce tutoriel très intéressant et vraiment très instructif
Thank you....that was very helpful and very nicely explained....
wow!!! Such a great tutorial!!! I thank you so much for your wide and clear explanatin. It helped me a lot to understand the tool and to be confident to use it,
I must have tried over a dozen tutorials, but every time I listened for a few minutes, the voice or the presentation was simply not helpful in retaining the information.
Thank you for taking the time to present yours at a nice pace with the right tone of presentation while educating without ever being boring. I'm already looking for more content from you. Cheers.
this was great, definitely want to come back to it and follow along!👍🏿
Thank you -- this was very helpful!
Brian ,
I have been refusing to use so many great things that Kontakt ( In various forms ) has because I just didn't understand the higher levels of use, and I did try hard.
This instruction vid must have taken lots of thought and I am very grateful for the work you guys put into it.
There are so many vids, tripping over themselves, to explain how to land a spaceship in Kontakt ... you have made this flight engineer (read songwriter) so much more confident, I may be able to write a best seller LOL
Very big thanks again
Great Video BUT!!! do you have a video where you use Kontakt 7 in the DAW and what affect that has on the S88 keyboard, ie. changes the colors to match the screen piano colors of individual keys. Tks
I understand with my aproximativly learning of your language. Thanks very much it"s a great movie
Excellent video. Thanks Brian and NI :)
Hugely helpful for this Kontakt newb. Thanks!
So detailed...thank you! I finally know my way around Kontakt after all of these many years! Thank you for putting this together for us!
Thank you for a very clear explanation of everything in Kontakt 7. In the next update are you planning to increase the degree of integration with the Komplete Kontrol Keyboard display and control change knobs when playing Kontakt from within the Komplete Kontrol plug-in?
Brian, this is an excellent video. Thank you! At 16:57 you show how clicking on the preset names will audition the sound. This works for most, but not all of the libraries. Some libraries have no preview (audition) available. Why is this, and is there a way to solve the issue? (Mac mini M2, Mac OS 13.4.1, Kontakt 7.5.2). Thanks!
Amazing work thank you for sharing 👍👍
Brian definitely did a phenomenal job instructing! Made an hour of learning feel like a breeze! Keep up the great work! #ThatsMyWord
Very very helpfull tutorial. Thanks so much!
Excellent tutorial! Thank you!!
Thx Brain, great video to understand Kontakt
super helpful! thanks Brian!
I'd love to know why, when I crossgraded to Komplete Standard 14, that Kontakt 7 was not included in my available downloads, while everything else seemed to be there. Also, please make the vst3 install location able to be set/changed thru Native Access.
Really great stuff Brian. I do have an issue though. When loading a saved instrument bank, large numbers of files can't be found. I notice you simply saved the instrument bak to the desktop without any apparent problems. Any advice on this?
Thanks I needed this greatly.🎷🎹🙋
Soon as I saw the workflow improvement s. I'm in!
Super helpful, thanks dude!
Wow, best kontakt tutorial ever, thanks
Thank you for making it free, now I can make my own music for my YT videos
Very thorough, thank you!
I’m brand new to NI. Super useful ! Thanks.
I needed this video. Thanks.
Awesome tutorial, Thanks
Awesome stuff! I had no idea it could do so much
I'm very green to NI and Battery 4, but I have AD2, MODO Drum, and ImpactXT, and tons of other drum samples that I want to compile on Battery 4 so I don't have to use those other VST's simultaneously with B4. At any rate, I'm looking for primarily video tutorials that show how to cherry-pick from those 3rd party VSTs to create a HUGE Library.
How do I do this? Thanks
THIS . . is how tutorials should be made. Organized / to the point / does exactly what the title says.
Agreed. Especially if you enjoy talking heads and repetition.
Best tutorial EVER!
You opend my eyes, tanx .... this video was so helpfull to me ;-)
