You can check it by looking at the "Memory" field shown in the header of the instrument.įor example, for Vintage D it loads at most 0.71 GB on my computer (with the "instrument preload buffer size" setting on the "Options|Memory" tab set to maximum). Kontakt never loads the whole instrument. But I don't do such work, and I have no experience with it.Ĭonclusion: For a pianist, an SSD offers nothing to improve latency. Heavy loading could become a problem for those doing production work. (And don't ask me why I'd play six pianos simultaneously.) I've only seen this when simultaneously triggering six or more pianos on my old slow laptop. But this is unlikely if you play just one instrument. It the computer is underpowered (or overloaded), it might not be able to fetch from disk soon enough.

While that first part plays, the software can fetch subsequent portions from disk (if needed). so sample fetching does not contribute to latency. at least for the first portion of the sound. When a note is played, the memory-based data are instantly available. (That's why you have to wait a short while before you can play.) Kontakt-based instruments (and some VST-based ones, too) load portions of the sound samples into memory as soon as you load the instrument. Is this setup correct? Do I understand it well? Now I can hear the same as in the studio monitors, but also in headphones. Now I can hear the sound from the keyboard and also from the computer together in these studio monitors.ĥ) I will connect the audio interface with the headphones (standard 1/4 inch phone jack). Now the notebook is able to process the midi signals transfered from the keyboard to the audio interface, so now I can play some VST instruments like Galaxy Vintage D and so on.Ĥ) With two standard 1/4 inch phone jacks I will connect the audio interface with the studio monitors. Now the midi signals can be transfered from the piano to the audio interface.ģ) With USB cable I will connect the audio interface with the notebook (to USB 3.0 port). The keyboard itself can generate the sound so this sound can be now transfered to the audio interface.Ģ) With two midi cables (IN, OUT) I will connect the audio interface with the keyboard. >studio monitors: studio monitors (speakers)ġ) With two standard 1/4 inch phone jacks I will connect the audio interface with the keyboard.
#Komplete audio 6 setup driver
>notebook: Lenovo Thinkpad T530, Windows 8.1 64 bit, current integrated sound card: Realtek High Definition Audio with ASIO4ALL driver I want to buy it to decrease the latency during playing and maybe to improve the sound quality.īut first I want to ask you if the following setup of my "home studio" is correct (if I understand the situation correctly): I have read mostly good reviews on it and it seems to have relatively good price (200 euros now after current discount (230 euros normally) ). I have just discovered the audio interface from Native Instruments - Komplete Audio 6.
