NI Kore - The Universal Sound Platform
Chapter 5 - Make Sounds Compatible
Imagine moving complex instrument set-ups between
different songs and systems...
Now You Can: KORE
Do you own more than one audio computer, a laptop and desktop for example,
or a Mac and a PC? Do you work both in the studio and on stage, or in
different studios that use different sequencers? Do you want to be able
to use exactly the same sounds and instrument or effect set-ups wherever
you go?
The Solution: Universal Compatibility
KORE bridges the gap between studio and stage, between different songs
and sequencers as well as between different computers and operating
systems. KORE enables you to effortlessly move your instrument and effect
set-ups and presets to where ever you happen to be working, meaning
you always have all of your sounds with you.
This universal compatibility is made possible by KORE's unified interface
and the cross-platform KoreSound format. All Audio Unit and VST plug-ins
and all their respective presets can be managed centrally in KORE and
saved as KoreSounds. KORE itself can either be used stand-alone or as
a plug-in within all professional sequencers via RTAS, Audio Units,
VST or DXi. This guarantees that your sounds are compatible with virtually
any system.
But that is just the beginning: KORE makes the seamless exchange of
extensive instrument/effect combination onto other systems, sequencers
and songs possible. These combinations can consist of multiple instruments
and effects with individual routings, controller assignments, keyboard
splits, velocity mappings and integrated MIDI files. Until now, attempting
to move such complicated, intricate set-ups onto a different system
was virtually impossible, the only real option being to manually re-build
the entire set-up from scratch – a difficult and time consuming
affair. With KORE all you have to do is open the KoreSound. The only
pre-requisite is that KORE and the same plug-ins are installed on both
systems.
The following examples help illustrate the benefits KORE offers in this
regard:
KoreSounds in Every Song
KORE in Logic (Click image to enlarge...)
When working in your sequencer, do you combine your
Audio Unit or VST software instruments with insert or send effects,
such as EQs, reverb, compressors, filters or delays? If these combinations
consist of multiple, individual plug-ins in one or more channels then
it is not normally possible to save the whole set-up, including the
insert and send effects, and with a simple click of the mouse use it
in another song. All this is, however, possible with KORE. Create complex
and intricate instrument and effect combinations in KORE, save them
all as KoreSounds and they all become instantly accessible for any song
or project you are working on.
KoreSounds in Other Sequencers
KORE in Pro Tools™ (Click image to enlarge...)
KoreSounds can even be opened in other sequencers.
An example: In Cubase™ you used KORE to create an ingenious KoreSound
consisting of FM7, a REAKTOR 5 instrument snapshot, an ABSYNTH 3 preset
and two 3rd-party effects. And now you want to use the same sound in
Pro Tools™. Easy: Just open KORE in ProTools™ as an RTAS plug-in
and load the KoreSound. The set-up is instantly accessible. The appropriate
VST plug-ins and the necessary settings are loaded in the background
into the KORE rack.
This scenario deserves a closer look:
VST plug-ins are loaded into ProTools™ via KORE! Again,
KORE bridges the gap – KORE is loaded via RTAS into ProTools™
and your VST plug-ins are running in KORE.
The same is true when using KORE in Logic™, Digital Performer™,
Sonar™ or when wanting to use Audio Unit plug-ins in ProTools™
on a Mac OS X system*.
KoreSounds on Every Computer
You're not just using one audio workstation but, for example, a Windows
desktop system in the studio and an Apple laptop when you’re on
the road or on stage. You have created a new sound in the studio that
utilizes multiple plug-ins. Now you want to be able to use exactly the
same sound on your laptop.
Whether a studio set-up or a laptop - with NI KORE you have
all the same sounds at your disposal on all your systems
(Click image to enlarge...)
KORE solves this dilemma in an instant. If you manage
all of your plug-in presets centrally using the KORE Sound Browser,
then all you have to do is copy a single KoreSond folder onto your laptop
and you instantly have exactly the same sounds at your disposal. Whether
they are simple sounds based on a single plug-in or complex structures
created by multiple instruments and effects that have been layered and
chained is immaterial. They are handled in exactly the same manner.
* The same plug-ins must be installed in the same format (VST + VST;
or Audio Units + Audio Units) on both systems.
