WEST AFRICA for KONTAKT - The Definitive Guide

The Definitive Guide for WEST AFRICA from Native Instruments for KONTAKT. WEST AFRICA is a collection of authentic West African percussion and melodic instruments.
This video will cover everything about WEST AFRICA.
First, we go over the interface and common controls. You'll see how to change the drum samples, how to trigger patterns, how to drag out MIDI to your DAW, and use all of the controls.
WEST AFRICA has an included pattern sequencer as well. So, you can program your percussion directly within the interface and trigger the pattern or drag out your MIDI. You can also, of course, use the individual hits to play in anything you want into your DAW.
After that, we'll look at the Single Percussion and Melodic Instruments. Both are very similar to the Percussion Ensemble, but we will go over the differences. Look below for Time Code for each section.
WEST AFRICA includes:
Dunun and bells, Djembe, Krin, and Calabash percussion.
Kora and Bolon, Balafon, Ngoni, and Fula Flute melodic instruments.
▶TIME CODE:
0:00 - Intro
0:23 - Percussion Ensemble & Main Interface
28:39 - Single Percussion
30:49 - Melodic Instruments

Fantastic tutorial. Thank you so much. Can you save your own Variation?

[@helmuthlindlar3654]

Great Tutorial ! Is there a way to store my own patterns. Or is it only possible by tearing the Midi in my DAW ?

[@karayuschij]

I would like a percussion plugin similar to Addictive drums an EZDrummer, with complete sets of percussions

[@jesusvillanueva8005]

I have an 88 key keyboard. But I see that sometimes there are more sounds than keys on my keyboard. I can't move the keyboard so that it reaches those notes that I can't reach, what can I do?

[@hebelehubele1123]

I downloaded but I could not open in Fl Studio. What should I do?

[@proverbalizer]

haha, it's a little confusing that you can set the Djembe 2 to Djembe 1 3:47

[@SrenPetersen-xn7ko]

My pattern just continue playing after the notes are done in Logic Pro :( :/ ;(

[@BEN602939]

I cant recorded this,what do i wrong

[@marianafernandez7471]

Hey, i don't see the buttons that you are using to bring the pattern into the midi track, how can i activate it?

[@proverbalizer]

same here, I was wondering if something was wrong with Kontakt or Logic or I have a different version and the button is somewhere else. Then I opened up discovery India and it's right there.

[@proverbalizer]

no sorry it was Cuba I was using and didn't see the button to drag in Midi, just checked West Africa and I also don't see it. It's right there in India, and right there in Middle East. 2 out of 4.... strange, I do wonder if it has to do with the versions I have. I'm a tad bit disappointed because probably Cuba is the one where I would actually use/modify some of the patterns instead of just picking sounds I like to play my own thing, but I would still love to be able to modify the patterns or melodies and not just use them as and unchanging loop

[@dakota.stlaurent]

in this video it's beside the "Edit" button (beside the variation knob)

[@dakota.stlaurent]

@@proverbalizer I'm fairly confident Cuba has it, at least now - I'm pretty sure I used it last week
