Some Kontakt libraries do not contain default articulations (like many 8dio titles, for instance). Others only load a fraction of all possible articulations (like Orchestral Tools). Neither are great for what you want to achieve, and that’s where our Snapshots come in.

To set up a sample instrument for working with Snapshots, perform the following simple steps:

• Make an empty Multi and reset it.

• Drag the Multi “Babylonwaves Art Conductor Script 1.2.nkm“ from the Snapshot folder onto the empty Kontakt instrument.

• Drag the sample library into the multi.

• Look for a folder inside the Snapshot folder that shares the same name as the sample library instrument. Inside, there is the Snapshot(s) you need.

• Drag this Snapshot onto the Kontakt instrument to load it

• For a Snapshot with a single Instrument, you’re done. If the Snapshot has multiple Parts, and you plan to use them all in one instrument, repeat steps C - E for every part. This is how a Snapshot with two Parts and the corresponding Multi will look:

• For multi-part snapshots, adjust the MIDI Channels of the individual Instruments to match the Part number. Part 1 = MIDI Channel 1, Part 2 = MIDI Channel 2 ... You can do so if you prefer to use each Snapshot Part in a dedicated instance of Kontakt. There are Articulation Templates for this purpose as well. They are not Combined templates and carry the Part number of the Snapshot in the Name.

Individual Snapshots can be stored in the Snapshot folder created by the corresponding Kontakt instrument. However, these folders can be in different places. We recommend storing the Snapshots alongside this documentation.
