The Kontakt window will appear, and a MIDI track will be created,

transmitting to Kontakt’s MIDI channel A-1. When it is record-enabled, it will

send any incoming MIDI played on your controller into Kontakt.

At this point, you can skip down in the instructions to the Getting Started

USING KONTAKT IN GARAGEBAND

Users of Apple’s GarageBand can use Kontakt as an AudioUnit plug-in. These

instructions have been prepared in GarageBand 5 (which shipped with iLife ‘09),

although Kontakt may also work in earlier versions if the computer meets the system

requirements.

Once inside your GarageBand project, go to the Track menu and choose New Track.

[05]

A window with three choices will appear. Choose Software Instrument, then click

Choose. [06] On the right side of the interface, the Browse tab will be showing. Switch

to the Edit tab. [07] The Sound Generator will default to Piano. Click on Piano, and a

popup menu will appear. Choose Audio Unit Modules > Kontakt 3. [08]

Note: GarageBand may default to inserting

eects, such as a compressor and a visual EQ

on this track. This will color the sound. If you don’t

want these eects used, you can remove

them.

Once Kontakt 3 is selected, the icon will

change to the AudioUnit icon (the ball with

the sound waves radiating outward). Double-click

on the icon to bring up the Kontakt window. [09]
