The Kinderklavier is a classic toy piano sampled in high - detail. It has 25 keys, each with 8 round - robin variations and around 6 velocity layers. Its small wooden body with metal tines as resonators gives it a klonky, reverberant sound, full of raw unpredictability, perfect for scoring animation and children's music. Aggressively played plastic keys have a unique rattle, available as optional release samples. Besides standard deep sampling, we've experimented with it in many ways, creating unique percussion and effects. There are also sound - designed ambiences from raw recordings. The Kontakt interface offers automation - ready sound - shaping controls, 22 custom FX presets, an adaptable LFO system, 12 filters, a customizable arpeggiator, and a key and scale lock system. The modular FX rack panel has 18 DSP effect modules, and the reverb includes great impulse responses. The library comes in open Kontakt format with many features and requires Native Instruments Kontakt 5.5 or later.
Using the Kinderklavier library is a breeze. First, make sure your system meets the requirements: you need Native Instruments Kontakt Full version 5.5 or later, Windows 7 or higher, or Mac OSX 10.9 or higher, a dual - core CPU or better, 2GB RAM or more, and it's recommended to have a SATA or SSD hard drive. Since this is a digital download via the Amazon S3 cloud network, a broadband internet connection is a must. When you open the Kontakt interface, you'll find a suite of controls. You can easily adjust things like swell, attack, release, and more to shape your sound. Play around with the 22 custom FX presets to get different creative sounds. For the LFO system, select the shape, target parameter, speed, etc. as you like. The filters and arpeggiator also offer a lot of flexibility. When using the FX rack panel, assign the 18 DSP effect modules in the 10 available slots however you want. Regarding maintenance, keep your Kontakt software updated to ensure compatibility and the best performance. Since the sample directories are unlocked, if you use them in other WAV - compatible software, make sure to check for any potential compatibility issues. Remember, the free Kontakt Player only supports it in limited 'demo mode', so it's better to use the full - retail version of Kontakt for the best experience.
