Native Access + Kontakt/Reaktor

Post by oddy.o.lynx »

the elements/Instruments get downloaded from Native Access as .iso files, but WINE cannot extract them into temp folders to complete the installation

to install the Instruments, find the ISO files, either under '~./Downloads' or somewhere in the '~/.wine' folder

7z can extract them like so...

from a command prompt -> '7z x filename.iso'

then you can run the installers using 'wine whatever.exe'

after that when you run Native Access they get registered and should work

Further tips to optimize Kontakt (Standalone)

Kontakt is a known CPU and resource hog

for example Yangqin uses a lot of juice and invariably will put pressure on the CPU and DSP load, this in turn often leads to CPU spikes which create audible pops and crackles

to avoid this, or to significantly mitigate it... go to Options -> Engine

for CPU overload protection setting it to strict will help considerably (other options are medium, relaxed and disabled)

for Multiprocessor support (Standalone) setting it to off will also increase performance and reduce CPU load

setting the Default Volume to 0dB rather than -6dB is also recommended
