![]() ![]() Don’t worry about that, Kontakt is just loading the required samples on the fly as you play. You might observe a slight delay before you hear some notes. If the instrument has multiple samples for each note (to cover different velocity ranges for example) then you may want to play the same note several times at different velocities. Now play each note in the two octaves of interest.Kontakt will now indicate that no memory is being used.Click the Purge drop down box and select purge all samples. ![]() So suppose you only need two octaves starting at Middle C. Note that the memory value is 0.69 GB which means that Kontakt loaded more than half a gigabyte of samples. Here’s an image from Kontakt with “THE GIANT” loaded. As I write this, I just loaded the Session Horns Pro library and Kontakt used up 2.54GB of space.īut what if you only need a few notes from one of these libraries? Maybe you only need an octave or two and even then you only need the notes that fit the scale in which you’re playing.Įnter the “Purge” subsystem. If you load a Kontakt instrument, particularly one with a massive sample set such as The GIANT, or the Session Strings and so forth, you could easily end up loading a gigabytes of samples, using previous space as well as taking a long time to load. I love Kontakt! It was the key that allowed me to stop having to carry a Korg Kronos with me on tour along with my other controllers (I love the Kronos as well but it’s so darn heavy.)
