Delivering a Lesson on Using Kontakt's Guitar Instruments

Hi Paul. I have been recommended Native Instrument’s Mint guitar software, but I can’t figure it out in Pro Tools. Can you help me please? PW

I connected remotely with PW to give a short lesson on how to use Mint in Pro Tools. This is how we spent our session:

Opening Kontakt as an instrument in Pro Tools
Navigating Kontakt to find the Mint instrument
Playing Mint as an instrument
Using the lower octaves of the keyboard to play patterns
Importing patterns as MIDI regions into Pro Tools
Changing the Root Key for guitar patterns to match the key of the song

PW and I then explored the other guitar instruments he had available in his Kontakt library and I showed him the differences between them.

Picked Acoustic, for example, did not have the Export Pattern as MIDI feature.

I made sure PW was comfortable with everything we had covered so far by watching him create a new demo project and build a short composition using the guitar software.

PW is a composer who uses Pro Tools and regularly books me for short remote support sessions to answer specific questions about music technology software.

If you have questions about any aspect of music technology and would like to book expert help please get in touch.
