no. kontakt is not accessible. only the older stuff from native instruments is somewhat accessible. their newer stuff is completely bit-mapped.

Hello all: I am new to this list. I have been working with Sonar and CakeTalking only since May of this year, so forgive me if what I am asking has already been asked several times. Is the Garritan Personal Orchestra accesible on its own? How about the Superior 2.0? If not, are there scripts for these plug-ins? If there are, where can I get them? Are the instruments from Native Instruments such as Kontakt and Reaktor accessible at all? Now one question on Sonar: A few days ago I was working on a project with about 40 tracks, half of them audio, and half softsynths. As I was editing one track, I mistakingly pressed shift-s instead of control-s. All of my tracks disappeared except for the one I was working with. I looked in the Sonar shortcut documentation and I found out that shift-s is the short cut for "show selection." So I guess that since I have probably selected part of the track I was working with, Sonar removed all of the other tracks from the track view. I thought I had lost everything, but when I unsoloed the only remaining track, I was able to listen to the whole project. I was not able to find a way to bring all of my tracks back. I ended up closing Sonar and opening it again. I lost a couple of edits but I had all my tracks back. Does anybody know how to revert from the "show selection" shortcut? I would like to know this just in case I make the same mistake again. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Steve Wicketts" <steve.wicketts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, December 01, 2009 4:55 PM To: <ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [ddots-l] Re: strings > Hi Neville, > > Go to Synth Rack press P then F4, arrow until you hear, "Global Reverb > Effect controls" if you enter here, you should be able to turn the reverb > off. > > Steve W > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "neville" <neville@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > To: <ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Tuesday, December 01, 2009 8:54 PM > Subject: [ddots-l] Re: strings > > >> Thanks for the infow.
