1. Velocity Stepper This is eectively a velocity arpeggiator. To activate it you must press the button to the left (you can also assign this button to midi CC). When active you can use the mouse to draw a velocity pattern. Once done j ust play the individual hits on your keyboard to hear the results. The Velocity Stepper automatically adapts to your DAW’s time signature.
5. Groove Latch Allows you to play a groove with out continuously holding down a key. To stop the groove playing press the groove key again. Additionally with this feature you can play individual drum hits over a midi groove. Please note that if you use this feature and your playing over a busy groove you may hear some odd phasing sounds. This is most likely du e to doubling up a similar hit played at the same time live and via the midi groove.
6. Round-robin reduction knob Allows you to adjust the amount of used round-robin. The more round-robin, the more realistic the performance. Round-robin refers to the process of cycling through multiple alternate samples/recordings of a particular hit type creating a more human feel. For example, an instrument with 4 microphones, 5 velocities, 10 round robin, and 15 hit types would equal to 3,000 samples. So loading an instrument with less round-robin will substantially decrease the sample count.
2. Velocity Curve With the use of the curve knob the user can easily adjust the key sensitivity to suite their playing style. Advanced Controls
3. Link Velocity to CC1 Press this button if you wish to control the midi grooves velocity by key sensitivity or the modwheel. 4. Bypass Articulation Mapping With this feature active you can move the hit type key position with out aecting the groove playback.

How do I assign g rooves to keys Go to the Mapping page then select and double click on a groove via the Groove folder menu. Once the groove is selected click on an empty groove slot and then assign it to a key of your choice. If you wish to chromatically assign all your grooves up the keyboard please go to the tool menu and turn on “Enable Chromatic Groove Assignment” (Make sure to turn this option on rst before you start assigning grooves). Please note after turning the chromatic function on you must manually assign the rst groove to a key. Once that is done all you need to do is double click on each groove thereafter and the system will do all the hard work!
Can I make my own multi? Yes but only using our provided taiko drums. Please follow these steps: 1. Firstly load the World Inspire Set - Builder multi (Empty). 2 Press the ‘INIT’ button and save the multi patch as a ‘NEW’ le. Close and open it again.
3. After loading press the “OK’ button.You are now ready to start building the instrument. 4. Now load all the instruments you wish to be part of the multi. After loading the instruments in to the multi you will notice that each instrument will be assigned from midi channel 1 and up (1, 2, 3, 4, etc…) 5. The next step is to start linking the multi to each instrument. Go to the Multi i nstrument setup. The rst thing it should say on the display is master. You will use this area to control global settings over all the instruments, but rst we must setup each instrument before this will have any eect. Click on the arrow right of the display and notice that it switches to 1 (Midi channel 1). 6. Move the mouse down to the instrument assign drop down menu and select the instrument assigned to midi channel 1 (i.e. W ine Barrel Taiko Ens) 7. Press the Active button 8. And nally select the root key to chromatically upwards assign the instruments hits. This is done via the “root on” display. You have now successfully linked your rst instrument to the multi. Please follow steps 2 to
5 to link the rest of your instruments. For example (Step 2) by clicking on the right arrow again number 2 will appear switching to midi channel 2. You will now need to select the instrument assigned to midi channel 2 etc. Once you have assigned all your i nstruments you are ready to play!!

Firstly locate your World Percussion Taiko Folder Next place your grooves in this location:
folder menu.
How do I add my own midi grooves to the user folder for multi instruments? For multi instruments you will need to place
your grooves in 2 locations. Please make sure you give them unique names (i.e. once again don’t call it midi groove 1.mid etc…, call it something useful like epiccat.mid) Now place your grooves in this location: If using a mac please copy your midi les to this folder: Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Native Instruments/Kontakt 5/midi/Evolution Series/ World Inspire Sets/User If on a PC: /Users/Name of User/Documents/Native Instruments/Kontakt 5/midi/Evolution Series/ World Inspire Sets/User Now your midi grooves will appear in the user folder in the multi’s groove folder menu.
When playing a multi how do I know what groove I’m playing? Unlike
when using an individual instrument the only way to know what groove you are playing on the keyboard is by looking at the bottom left hand corner of kontakts interface. There the midi groove’s name will appear when being played.
Surround Sound
Another important feature of this library is the ability to mix in surround sound. By suppling the room close and room far microphone sets - it makes it easy to create a surround sound space. For example you could always place the room close microphone set in the front speakers and the room far in the back. In order to set an instrument up in surround sound, you will need to make sure your version of kontakt is congured correctly. Please refer to the Kontakt reference manual for more information.
