Installation
For the most convenient access, it is highly recommended that you
copy the contents of the five CD-ROMs (3.1 Gigabyte) to your hard
drive. If you are running low on hard drive space, it is of course
also possible to load the instruments individually from the CD-ROMs.
Memory allocation (Mac-only)
Since many of the KONTAKT instruments are extremely large, you may
need to allocate extra memory either to KONTAKT or to your VST host.
If you use KONTAKT as a stand-alone application, with DirectConnect,
or with MAS, memory is assigned directly to the KONTAKT application.
To assign more memory to KONTAKT, first find the KONTAKT application
on your hard drive, then pull down the File menu and choose Get
Info > Memory. In the Preferred Size field, type in a number
that is larger than 320,000 (if your computer has enough RAM), since
the largest instrument in the sample library is about 280 MB and
some extra RAM is needed for KONTAKT itself.
If you use KONTAKT as a VST plug-in, memory that is allocated to
your VST host (Cubase, Logic, etc) can also be used by the KONTAKT
VST plug-in. To allocate more memory to your VST host, simply follow
the above procedure. However, instead of selecting the KONTAKT application
itself, select your VST host application and add the desired amount
of memory to the amount that is already there.
