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.

popup menu will appear. Choose Audio Unit Modules > Kontakt 5. [08]

want these effects used, you can remove
them.
Once Kontakt 5 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.
