providesyouwith flexible options to
decrease the sample and CPU system load.
You can also choose options to reduce

Watermarking
Automatic digital watermarking is applied to all our Kontakt libraries using Continuatas
proprietary software. We embedded undetectable information in all NKI, NKR and NKM files.
Each customer is automatically assigned a unique watermark on purchase then seamlessly
delivered along with the rest of the download. The watermarks are completely robust,
undetectable to binary file comparison techniques and remain in-tact even after re-saving, batch
re-saving or editing instruments.

Congratulations!
You are now the proud owner of Evolution Series World Percussion 2.0.

Understanding how the

World Inspire Sets
One of the great things about this library are
the World Inspire Sets. They can be found
in the Multis drop down menu.
With a hit of a key you can have an epic
drum ensemble play. If you like, you can
create your own grooves as well.
A World Inspire Set consists of multiple
Instruments. Each Instrument contains a
different drum. The concept behind a World
Inspire Set is to provide a variety of inspiring
drum combinations and grooves. All Sets
except two, have grooves assigned to keys
on the keyboard.
Quick Kits
Similar to the World Inspire Sets. We have
provided a number of different Quick Kits
consisting of different drum combinations.
Most of the Quick Kits dont include

grooves as they are meant to provide other fast


alternatives to accessing a multitude of drums.
Unique Grooves
Like the World Inspire Sets, Most patches/
individual drums have unique grooves assigned
to keys. This gives the user a wonderful starting
point when it comes to creating rhythms. If
you wish to alter a groove, you can access
the individual midi files supplied in the Midi
Grooves Folder.

Can I make my own Multis?


Yes it is possible, but at this stage we would
recommend to wait for a future update
becuase the current process is quite
complicated.

Multi Midi Channel Assignment


Please make sure that you always play back a
Multi on midi channel 1. Only Multis are
restricted in this way. Individual instruments
work fine on any midi channel.

When you load either a tuned or un-tuned

to a variety of different controls. The only
difference is that tuned percussion does
not give you access to the mapping page,
as we do not believe there is any merit to
remapping a tuned instrument.

one on the Main Page. Make sure you reset


each microphone before bouncing them off.
Otherwise, the relevant microphone samples will
not align up and phasing may occur.

1. Round-robin reduction buttons


Full RR, Half RR, and Small RR versions.
The difference between these versions
is the amount of 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.

3. Release Samples On/Off and Volume


Some instruments have release noises. This
gives you the option to turn them on/off or even
adjust the volume.

Most instruments set to Full RR version


consist of 10 round-robin, Half RR = 5,
Small RR = 3. With this in mind, if your
system is struggling with the Full RR version
you can load the Half RR or Small RR
version.

4. Velocity Curve
With the use of Min, Max and Curve
options the user can easily adjust the key
sensitivity to suite their playing style. If you
want to get more creative you can even
use the dropdown menu and select User to
manually draw in your own curve .

MIDIBITS User Guide


Introduction
Thanks for taking the time to check out and
purchase MIDIBits!
MIDIBits is a revolutionary Kontakt script
that gives you the power of a sequencer
inside your sampler. MIDIBits will help boost
creativity and efficiency whether youre a live
performer looking to automate aspects of
your playing, a composer looking to create
re-usable templates and phrases from
your libraries or a hobbyist just wanting to
experiment.
MIDIBits allows you to create and save
full sequences, custom-tailored to the
sample libraries you own and regularly use.
Sequences can be played back with a single
key and can intelligently modify the tempo,
scale and key to your requirements.
Create automated runs that are available
on the press of a finger, compose full
accompaniments that play back while you
concentrate on your melodies or compose
templates for phrases & techniques you
regularly use to speed up your composing
process. Let MIDIBits handle the grunt work
while you concentrate on composing.

MIDIBits Interface
The MIDIBits main interface is split into three
main areas. The top-left area of the script
contains controls and options related to
playback and recorded. The bottom-left area is
where you can configure and manipulate your
sequences. The right area contains a visual
piano roll that renders your current sequence
visually.
Playback & Recording
The top-most area of the MIDIBits interface
allows you to configure the recording and
playback of sequences. A label at the top of
the panel shows the current mode - this can
be clicked to alternate between Playback and
Record mode.

Playback mode
Bypass Play zones
When Bypass Play zones is enabled MIDIBits
temporarily ignores all input and Kontakt acts
as if MIDIBits has not been loaded. When
MIDIBits is active, it takes control of all MIDI
input. Sometimes you want to restore default
behaviour (to experiment with patches or

practice a performance).
Autoscroll piano roll + play cursor
When this option is enabled, the piano roll
on the right of the interface will scroll when
the cursor moves of screen. This allows you
to follow your performance visually. Disabling
this option may improve performance on
lower spec workstations.
Channel
Specify the channel that MIDIBits will listen
on. Only notes that are received on this MIDI
channel will trigger your configured zones.
Memory: %
Shows how much memory MIDIBits has to
store notes from your performance. MIDIBits
has no limits on the length of a sequence.
However, Kontakts current restrictions mean
that MIDIBits can store roughly 1000 notes
of information per instance. You can load
5 instances of MIDIBits simultaneously and
save as many sequence presets to disk as
your machine can hold.

GUI: %
Kontakt also has a limit on how much
information can be shown on-screen in
the piano roll within a script. GUI % shows
your current usage. Once this hits 0% you
may notice that notes arent shown in the
roll - dont panic. They do exist and should
appear if you scroll or change your visual
filter.
The small cog icon ( )
Clicking the cog icon will drop down the
function menu. The function menu allows
you to CLEAR all data in the current instance
of MIDIBits (all zones and sequences). It
also allows you to change the MIDI channel
youre currently viewing in the piano roll.

Record mode
Record on key press
When this is enabled, the sequence will
begin recordings as soon as a key is
pressed in your sequencer/on your MIDI
controller. When this is disabled, recording
will begin when MIDIBits encounters a CC
change.
Blend with existing
When enabled, all previous notes will
be kept when you begin recording new
sequences and patterns. When disabled, all

existing notes will be cleared.


Calculate chords
When this is enabled, MIDIBits will look out for
a C Major chord. When it finds one, it will track
the respective notes of the chord. When playing
back calculated sequences, the chords can
be changed to whichever chord or scale you
require.
The record icon ( )
Clicking the record icon will set MIDIBits to
begin instantly recording notes. You can use
this to manually

Editing & Configuration


The bottom-left area of the MIDIBits interface
is dedicated to editing and configuring your
sequences, zones and performances. A drop
down menu at the top can be selected to
switch between the various view modes.
Edit View
Edit View allows you to configure the piano roll
preferences within MIDIBits. You can use the
four arrow buttons to scroll the piano roll left,
right, up or down.

Transferring notes from your sequencer


For more complicated sequences, its best
to compose your notes within a sequencer
youre familiar with before transferring them to
MIDIBits. This process is simple and painless:
First, youll want to configure MIDIBits so that
its ignoring your input for now. You can do this
using the option on the playback panel. This
tells MIDIBits that youre using Kontakt normally
and dont want to be interrupted for now. Next,
simply compose the piece in your sequencer of

When youre ready to begin, simply start playing
on your MIDI controller. MIDIBits will begin
recording and any notes or releases you play
will be captured. Once you have finished playing
your performance simply click the recording
button (or change back to playback mode).

When youre ready to transfer your
composition into MIDIBits, open up the
interface and disable the option again.
Put MIDIbits into record mode using the topleft panel. We can now configure MIDIBits to
start in a couple different ways:

However, if you have a gap of silence or


your notes are offset from the start, its best
to disable this option. When Record on key
press is disabled, recording will begin as
soon as MIDIBits receives a CC controller
change. Most sequencers will send a
bunch of them when beginning playback,
so its a safe bet that recording will be
triggered correctly.

Simply save your current Kontakt multi.

So now were ready to record, simply


jump back to your sequencer and begin
playback. As your sequencer plays back
your composition, it will be recorded
to MIDIBits. When you press stop in
your sequencer, MIDIBits should detect
the sequencer was stopped and end
recording. If you notice that it continues to
record, simply click the recording button
to stop it.

Your sequences and MIDIBits configuration will


be stored inside this nkm file.

Saving your sequences


There are two ways to save the sequences
you create within MIDIBits:
Save with instrument configuration

Save without instrument configuration


Only stores the sequence information so that
its easy to re-use or transfer to other multis and
instrument templates.

Use the save preset... option.

The sequence data and current


configuration of MIDIBits will be saved to
a preset file.
You can recall this preset within any multi
to share sequences between them.

Preserves any instruments and patches


(and their scripts) that you have loaded
from your personal libraries. Easy to recall
and playback.

Note: A few instruments such as the timpani,
are quite system intensive. Some users might
struggle usingthem on lower spec systems due
to the number of round robin and microphone
choices. As a way around this issue, the user
can adjust the amount of round-robin loaded,
in-turn reducing memory usage.
