Exosphere for NI Kontakt 3 and above

The files in NI Kontakt format require the full version of NI Kontakt and do not work fully with the free

Kontakt player!

The programs for Kontakt 3 and above display the name of the played file on the GUI when you press a

key. This makes it easy to find a file you like after auditioning the sounds in Kontakt.

The programs also provide simple sound-shaping controls on the GUI:

Hi pass

• Controls the frequency below which low frequencies are rolled off at 6db/octave.

• Turning fully counter-clockwise disables this filter.

• Default (control-click/command-click): off

Lo pass

• Controls the frequency above which high frequencies are rolled off at 6db/octave.

• Turning fully clockwise disables this filter.

• Default (control-click/command-click): off

Width

• Controls the width of the stereo image.

• Turning fully counter-clockwise collapses the sound to mono.

• Values above 0% artificially enhance the stereo image. If you enhance the stereo image, be sure

to check the phase of the sound, if mono compatibility is important for your work.

• Default (control-click/command-click): 0%

If you save a Kontakt program after adjusting the values of these controls, your adjustments will be

saved in the program.
