Kontakt Notes
•
Jetstream requires the full version of Native Instruments Kontakt 3 or above. It will not work in
the free Kontakt Player or Kontakt demo.
•
We decided to use numerical spinners rather than knobs for the interface, to provide at-a-glance
access to as many parameters as possible. Numerical spinners also have the advantage of
allowing keyboard input: you can type a value as an alternative to dragging with the mouse.
However, numerical spinners do not accept automation.
•
The default Jetstream patch, and the designed presets, are not velocity sensitive. We felt that
when designing sounds it is useful to have a consistent output volume. However we have also
included a patch called “Jetstream Velocity Sensitive” in which volume is controlled by velocity.
•
Changing an assign menu takes effect on the next played note. This is by design.
•
In Kontakt 3, if you turn on Dynamics while playing a note, the dynamics will not have an audible
effect until the next note is played. This limitation is not preset in Kontakt 4 and above.
•
In Kontakt 3, 4 and 5, if you are using the convolution (Wet) effect and turn on Space while
playing a note, convolution will not be audible until the next note is played. The Stereo control in
the Space section does take immediate effect, however.
•
Kontakt loads all the Jetstream samples into RAM, so a single patch takes about 256MB. This is
required for the Start functionality on the Mixer page.
