Hey Glenn,

I do exactly what you derived.
*Playing? Using Kontakt as standalone by means of loopbe.
*Recording: kontakt as default synth as vst in Biab

It’s the least troublesome way for me, without much hassle. And it works.

There are such nice libraries around the web. I don’t buy the real expensive ones, but some are worth their weight in gold. For acoustic drums the Abbey Road drums must be the most beautiful and flexible ones around. And you can pick an instrument for every drum note, so you have flexible mapping.

Have fun playing.


Biab, Kontakt, Sampletank and lots of nice libraries, from Fluffy audio to Abbey Road drums.
