You guys were right most of the tutorials are complete sleepers.
 
Are they any fast paced tutorials for guys who already have some sample files set aside and are ready to go?
 
This one seems to be the most get to the point that I have found: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOgTeR3B4n8

Did you check out the AskVideo Kontakt Advanced tutorial?
 
All the ones I took there were quite good...

They also have a regular Kontakt Tutorial

...and then use Mdyne to make the chipmunk sound like Basil Rathbone?

I would use Timeless on the chipmunk.

Look out, Mike. You're standing at the edge of a very deep rabbit hole! How far down do you want to go?
 
When the Groove3 people offered a 30-day free trial, I spent most of that time watching Kontakt vids. They were pretty decent, but there are a lot of them and I found myself dozing off a lot. Creating libraries isn't nearly as much fun as composing with them - it's a little too much like my day job, like work. But those Groove3 videos were pretty alright.

Thanks Bit,
 I hear you. I think I'd rather spend my time playing a real instrument than fooling with Kontakt... but it still seems tempting to try to make a few Kontakt instruments. For example; I've got a 3-1/2 octave, electric Kalimba that needs to be set free some day.
 
The link that Larry sent me too: https://www.askvideo.com/course/kontakt-301-building-sampler-instruments
 
seems to get right to the point. 
 
Thanks Larry!

Glad to help Mike...

When I got the 30 days for 99 cents deal I complete like 21 courses,
and had watched over 300 videos....it was the best 99 cents I've spent
this year...and I got a couple of video's for free in the process...

I learned how to make Kontakt instruments after watching this 44 min how to demo.
