[TrapKAT-Kit] Natural Drum Kit layout
February 26, 2009, 02:24:23 PM
Here's a SysEx Kit dump for the TrapKAT 3.1.  It's designed to work with Natural Drum Kit (link in my sig; but the site was down when I posted) loaded into Native Instruments Kontakt 2 or 3.

Please note the .pdf extension should be amended to .syx before you try to work with it.

I've recently acquired Battery 3 by NI (I think its way cool, some of it is kinda WAY out there, like RMX....movie sound effects) I would've sworn that I played somethig last night that I heard in the Fifth Element....
 :)

Anyway, you may (or may not) remember...I could never get NDK to work for me with Halion Player. But will it work in Battery 3? do you know? If so, the 3.1 dump you did might work for Battery if it worked for Kontakt....hopefully....?? right? ;D

your dorky pal across the water,

Timbo-gmby ;)

Will it work in Battery?  Well, if my memory serves me right, someone did do a Battery mapping of the kit -- I don't have a clue if the layout follows the original, though.  If it does, then the TK3.1 dump should "just work" (as they say)...  (What would be good is the guy at NDK getting the .nki files turned into Kontakt Player instruments and letting people use it with the now-free Kontakt Player; though I guess that NI charge for that...)

Good luck and happy drumming.

(My music PC's still DEAD - got a new PSU and the thing's leads to my SATA drives were too short! :o ::))

How do I change it to a .syx file?

HEY PLJ!
Happy New Year!

I am revisiting this again, cuz looking around my evil lair I noticed the DVD case for NDK...and I'm pissed at myself for never getting it to work for me!
I have used a lot of various software with drum samples, but I've never used this one (NDK) and darn it, I paid for it, so I need to check it out...

Any clue as to how I get it (possibly) into (or within) Battery 3?

My understanding is Battery supports limited layers per kit piece and a limited number of kit pieces.  So the Kontakt mapping won't load into Battery.  You'd have to create your own.  Or get Kontakt.  I'd go for the later (well, I did!).

Hey Man!

yes, yes.....bringing THIS up again...

well, actually you did ;D - NDK -

I've got Komplete 7 now, I should be able to use NDK now right?

I know this is very vague, but is there any tips in regards to the install to get it to work properly (PC)?

Are you using it only in Kontakt?

In a word: yes!

Yes, you can use NDK with Kontakt from Komplete 7.

(Aside: when I got it, the kit had been saved from Kontakt 2 - the newer version of Kontakt will likely ask you to run a batch resave to update the files.  It's not a problem and is worth doing.)

Tips: Back when disks were smaller, I gave NDK it's own partition; nowadays I probably wouldn't bother.  But do put all your samples on their own physical disk, if you can - don't share the disk with programs, etc.  That does make for smoother running.

NDK I only use with Kontakt, yes - it's the only way I think you'll get the best out of the kit without putting in a lot of work.

That's the 60s kit and the one I have - which meant there's no point me upgrading to Komplete as I have both the bits I want already! :)  I'm still after a "Buy Two Get One Free" offer on the Abbey Road kits, so I pick up the other three.

My understanding is Battery aids brief layers per kit portion along with a limited wide range of kit components.  So the Kontakt mapping won't load into Battery.  You'd have to create the own.  Or perhaps get Kontakt.  I'd go for the later on (well, I did!).
