I installed Komplete 9 today and was going through each N.I. free standing app to make sure everything works.
 
I was reminded that I don't no what Kore Player is. I couldn't stumble my way through getting it to make any sounds with a MIDI controller. What does it do? Process audio?
 
Thanks.
 

It's the player version of (the sadly discontinued) Kore 2.

It's kind of like a Sample Player

When it opens you should have things on the left of the browser and
things on the right...select Kore Player on the Left, then double click one the the selections on the
right...and all should be good..

I only have the free player version (never had the full product), but it is one of my favourite software instruments. I'm even willing to purchase some Kore Sounds as I do find it to be very useful/easy to work with.
 
I know a lot of customers are disappointed with the discontinuation of this. I didn't realize it was included in Komplete 9 (until now).
 

 
 
I guess I'll have to watch some videos because I can't figure out what it is for.
 
I checked my audio routing and my MIDI routing and they seem correct. I just don't know if it generates sound on it's own or if it's a virtual efx pedal that requires sound to be sent into it.

Mike, all you have to do is set it up as  you would do any softsynth (MIDI out global), select a sound from the included library, and play your keyboard. That should work.....
 

Thanks Mesh!
 
It seems to be working now. I closed it. I went and watched a video. I opened it again and it plays sound when I play a MIDI controller. I Don't quite know what I was doing wrong the first few times I tried. :-)

Kore 2 basically allowed you to layer and route instruments/FX.
 
It contained the engines for all the NI instruments so they could sell a Kore Pack that, say, layered Kontakt with Absynth and then processed it with Guitar Rig. If you bought the HW controller, it basically had macro knobs and buttons. The Kore Player is for use with Kore Packs.
 
If you owned Kore 2 and the underlying instruments you could edit the stuff and create your own routings. It also hosted 3rd party VST/VSTi's. It allows you to do pretty much anything in terms of routing - one of my own favorites takes a simple delay and lets me insert any VST's I want into the feedback loop.

Thanks drew!

I'm still intrigued as to why they included Kore (a discontinued product) in Komplete 9???
